Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB
The Jets won the night they stopped Pegues from sliding. Grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. JJ Pegues at pick 207 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Powell-Ryland proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a seam-stretching tight end, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 42nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tre Harris. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A quiet steal in the 73rd overall pick: Donovan Jackson for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
No drama and no debate, Jordan Phillips went about where he belonged in No. 109. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They paid sticker price for Anthony Belton in pick 110, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in slot 145 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They did well to land Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 186, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Circle this one: JJ Pegues at pick 207 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
