Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jets and Gabriel: C.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jets watched Dillon Gabriel slide 60 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. Hill has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

If Armand Membou and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They read the board right and Colston Loveland was the payoff at the 41st overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the 73rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in pick 110 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They liked Tommi Hill enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 162 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in slot 186 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith is a better player than No. 207 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
