Draft Grade — Jets
Overall
B-
ValueB
NeedC
TradesA+
FutureD-
Quarterback settled, Manning in the fold, and a B- for the Jets. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Jets would have aced it. Dylan Riley at pick No. 144 is 78 spots clear of where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
On value alone, Johnson makes the weekend a net positive. Arch Manning gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. With edge rusher and wide receiver unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Leonard Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 5 on Leonard Moore with edge rusher and wide receiver unsolved.
Pick7
Rnd1
Arch Manning
No edge and no loss on Arch Manning in No. 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick13
Rnd1
KJ Bolden
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. KJ Bolden in the 13th pick leaves edge rusher and wide receiver for later.
Pick68
Rnd3
David Stone
They will replay David Stone at slot 68 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106
Rnd4
Greg Johnson
They robbed the room for Greg Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Anthonie Knapp
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Anthonie Knapp in pick 107, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144
Rnd5
Dylan Riley
A big swing on Dylan Riley at No. 144, well ahead of any board in the building. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Earl Little Jr.
Earl Little Jr. in slot 146 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick162
Rnd5
Shadre Hurst
The board had Shadre Hurst higher than Round 5, Pick 23, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick185
Rnd6
Andrew Sprague
Andrew Sprague at the 185th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202
Rnd6
Eli Bowen
Circle this one: Eli Bowen at pick 202 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
