Jah jah DRAFTING FOR THEJets
Draft Grade — Jets

The Jets answered their biggest question with Mendoza. Grade: B-. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Jets spent their marquee pick on Fernando Mendoza, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.
That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Fields to cover a lot of smaller sins.
The Mendoza reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In pick No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Denzel Boston
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Denzel Boston at slot 33. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101
Rnd4
Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields slipping to pick 101 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180
Rnd5
Rayshaun Benny
No drama and no debate, Rayshaun Benny went about where he belonged in No. 180. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
