Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Jets went off the board in a big way for Walter Rouse, 47 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

The Zinter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while cornerback, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

Hit on JC Latham and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 10 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 72nd pick on Javon Solomon with cornerback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick112 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Taking Zak Zinter in Round 4, Pick 12 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They reached into another round for Jordan Travis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Barrett. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick253 Rnd7 Trente Jones
They took Trente Jones at par in pick No. 253, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick254 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick257 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
They reached a country mile for Isaac Guerendo at the 257th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
