Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The Jets spent the pick that matters most on Jaxson Dart, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The cost of the Dart reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the 7th pick they get their guy under center for the next decade, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
They read the board right and Grey Zabel was the payoff at pick 42. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in slot 73 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James at Round 4, Pick 8 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Somehow Billy Bowman Jr. was still sitting there in No. 156, and they pounced on premier safety value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick No. 186 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Circle this one: Jason Marshall Jr. at the 207th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
