Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets answered their biggest question with Sayin. Grade: B.

The search is over. The Jets handed the keys to Julian Sayin, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Tengesdahl. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Julian Sayin
In pick No. 2 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16 Rnd1 Teitum Tuioti
In slot 16 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Zabien Brown
A tidy little value on Zabien Brown in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Terry Moore
They let Terry Moore come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 12. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Evan Tengesdahl
They read the board right and Evan Tengesdahl was the payoff at pick 103. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Micah Mays Jr.
Micah Mays Jr. in No. 175 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd5 Landen Hatchett
A clean, defensible pick in the 178th pick with a little surplus value in Landen Hatchett. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams is a better player than the 192nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Derek Williams Jr.
Derek Williams Jr. slipping to slot 206 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210 Rnd6 John Mateer
John Mateer in No. 210 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
No drama and no debate, Rueben Owens II went about where he belonged in pick No. 218. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242 Rnd7 Maraad Watson
No edge and no loss on Maraad Watson in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
