Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Jets cashed the board's mistake on Majors: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jake Majors, the No. 65 name on the board, stolen at No. 163. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Rourke has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Jets paired the rookies with proven help, Jermaine Burton leading the way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 13 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at the 39th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach the 95th overall pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 114 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at pick 149 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 25 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Omarr Norman-Lott
They took Omarr Norman-Lott at par in pick No. 164, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They barely believed it either: Jordan Hancock still on the board at the Round 6 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at slot 208 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Will Howard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Will Howard well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jonah Coleman
Circle this one: Jonah Coleman at the 221st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
