Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Jets.

Somebody in pick No. 229 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Jets sat still while Zion Nelson, the No. 209 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The Whittington reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Adding Donovan Wilson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 24 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
They paid sticker price for Michael Pratt in the 72nd overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in the 87th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at pick 111 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick147 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
They paid a round early for Keith Randolph Jr. in the 147th pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 6, Pick 12 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
They will replay Zion Nelson at pick No. 229 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dorian Singer
Dorian Singer in No. 255 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
