Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesC+ FutureA
The Jets robbed the room for Moore. Final grade: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Jets were there to profit. Malachi Moore, the No. 95 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 157. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 14 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
A tidy little value on Benjamin Morrison in pick No. 51, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in slot 92 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
Value with a capital V on Quinn Ewers in pick 109, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in Round 5, Pick 7 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick157 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Circle this one: Malachi Moore at the 157th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in the 188th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick209 Rnd6 Upton Stout
You do not let a safety like Upton Stout reach the 209th overall pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
