Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jets: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Jets started one anyway for Carter Bradley, 76 picks ahead of schedule. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Adding Saahdiq Charles by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 10th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in pick 72, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
They talked themselves into Jamari Thrash at slot 111, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
A wild overpay on Braiden McGregor in No. 139, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 10 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd6 Carter Bradley
A big swing on Carter Bradley at pick No. 218, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at Round 7, Pick 36 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Owens at No. 257, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
