Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets found their guy under center in Sanders: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jets watched Tahj Brooks slide 116 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
They paid sticker price for Shedeur Sanders in the 4th pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Nothing to complain about; Tate Ratledge went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tyler Booker in pick No. 95, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick145 Rnd5 Keon Sabb
Somehow Keon Sabb was still sitting there in the 145th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 182 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick208 Rnd6 Gunnar Helm
They robbed the room for Gunnar Helm here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick221 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at the 221st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
