Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
Larceny in slot 179 lands the Jets a B-, Lee III and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Will Lee III at slot 179 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kevin Winston Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a ballhawk on the back end. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Drew Allar
They took Drew Allar at par in pick 51, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in No. 57 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at pick No. 83 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 113th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick115 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luke Kandra at slot 115 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
They paid sticker price for Terrance Ferguson in the 147th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick179 Rnd6 Will Lee III
Will Lee III in pick No. 179 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick192 Rnd6 Theo Wease Jr.
No drama and no debate, Theo Wease Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 192. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
