Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jets: B-.

The Jets clearly saw something nobody else did in Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him 37 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They banked enough surplus on Harris to cover a lot of smaller sins.

They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 7 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at Round 2, Pick 10 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tre Harris
The board had Tre Harris higher than the 73rd pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 145th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They went early on Jonah Monheim in slot 162, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in No. 186 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick207 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
No drama and no debate, R.J. Mickens went about where he belonged in the 207th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
