Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Larceny in No. 257 lands the Jets a B+, Barrett and all.

When a board-topper like Michael Barrett slides to pick 257, you do not overthink it, and the Jets did not. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

If Gore Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 17 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A straight-up fair deal on Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
They paid sticker price for Kamren Kinchens in slot 72, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the 93rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick112 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reach on Johnny Wilson in the 112th pick; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A real head-scratcher, Michael Pratt in Round 4, Pick 16 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They liked Theo Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 123. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick147 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
A conviction pick on Grayson Murphy at pick No. 147 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Roger Rosengarten in the 175th pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in No. 187 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
A tidy little value on Drake Nugent in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at slot 211 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A wild overpay on Sam Hartman in the 253rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at pick 254 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in Round 7, Pick 39 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
