Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets cashed the board's mistake on Bowman Jr.: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Jets were there to profit. Billy Bowman Jr., the No. 113 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 145th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Trapilo lower, and that gap is the story.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mason Graham
They took Mason Graham at par in slot 7, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at Round 2, Pick 10 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They paid up for Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 73 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at the 110th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
You do not let a safety like Billy Bowman Jr. reach No. 145 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
No edge and no loss on Chase Lundt in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 186th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Lachey. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
