Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 73: the Jets steal Watts and grade out a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Xavier Watts, slot 73, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The West reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 7 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 42 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
You do not let a safety like Xavier Watts reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard slid further than he should have, and pick No. 110 is lovely value for the quarterback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in Round 5, Pick 7 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West in pick 162 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
No drama and no debate, Vernon Broughton went about where he belonged in the 186th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A quiet steal in the 207th overall pick: Clay Webb for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
