Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a B- weekend for the Jets.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Jets started one anyway for Derek Wingo, 85 picks ahead of schedule. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Landing Pearsall that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 11 they get their quarterback of the future. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick75 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at No. 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
No edge and no loss on Jalen McMillan in the 111th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Zion Nelson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Nelson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Montrell Johnson Jr.
Montrell Johnson Jr. at Round 7, Pick 12 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Derek Wingo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Derek Wingo well ahead of where he belonged. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick256 Rnd7 Braden Fiske
Value said wait; Braden Fiske in No. 256 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
