Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureA
The Jets robbed the room for Warren. Final grade: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jets watched Tyler Warren slide 25 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Roberts reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 23 they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at Round 2, Pick 10 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick55 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A quiet steal in the 55th overall pick: Aireontae Ersery for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at No. 73 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A tidy little value on Andrew Mukuba in pick 87, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in slot 110 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 145th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elijah Roberts in pick No. 162, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 186th pick with a little surplus value in Dont'e Thornton Jr.. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199 Rnd6 Thomas Fidone II
A straight-up fair deal on Thomas Fidone II at pick 199, value and slot in agreement. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick207 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joshua Gray. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
