Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Jets shredded theirs for Elijah Simmons. He came off 83 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Getting Clark where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
A straight-up fair deal on Taliese Fuaga at the 10th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They let Nehemiah Pritchett come to them and pounced at pick 147. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A premium they did not need to pay, Jase McClellan a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at No. 219 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Zion Nelson in slot 229, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Elijah Simmons
Elijah Simmons at pick 255 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
