Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets let McCord fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kyle McCord at the 145th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

With cornerback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on tight end is the choice that costs them. If Norman-Lott pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 7 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
They jumped the gun on Omarr Norman-Lott, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They paid sticker price for Mason Taylor in the 73rd pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jack Bech
The board fumbled Jack Bech all the way to the 86th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Terrance Ferguson adds a tight end and leaves cornerback, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
You do not let a quarterback like Kyle McCord reach pick No. 145 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A straight-up fair deal on Chase Lundt at slot 162, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in pick 186 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jay Higgins in the 207th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
