Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesC FutureA
Grand theft in slot 206: the Jets steal Jeanty and grade out a B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Jets were there to profit. Ashton Jeanty, the No. 2 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 206th overall pick.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 24 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot.
Pick42 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
They barely believed it either: Wyatt Milum still on the board at the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick56 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cam Ward
Cam Ward in pick 96 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Circle this one: Jahdae Barron at No. 104 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tre Harris
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in slot 109, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 116th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 125th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at the 134th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in pick 144, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach slot 158 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Taking Ajani Cornelius in No. 185 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at Round 6, Pick 31 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kyle Kennard
The board fumbled Kyle Kennard all the way to pick No. 219, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in the 245th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
