Draft Grade — Jets

TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Jets a A. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Jets took Trey Moore at pick No. 103, roughly 99 spots before his name belonged.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Anderson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
In the end it comes back to Arvell Reese, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In the 7th pick they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick14
Rnd1
Jermod McCoy
In No. 14 they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick32
Rnd1
Kayden McDonald
In pick 32 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate at Round 2, Pick 3 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick38
Rnd2
Fernando Mendoza
The board fumbled Fernando Mendoza all the way to pick No. 38, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick48
Rnd2
Caleb Lomu
Caleb Lomu in slot 48 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deontae Lawson. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick103
Rnd4
Trey Moore
Trey Moore at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114
Rnd4
Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton at the 114th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116
Rnd4
Keith Abney II
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Keith Abney II in Round 4, Pick 16, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178
Rnd5
Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson at No. 178 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192
Rnd6
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the 192nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205
Rnd6
Makhi Hughes
A straight-up fair deal on Makhi Hughes at pick 205, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207
Rnd6
James Smith
James Smith at pick 207 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239
Rnd7
Alex Birchmeier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Alex Birchmeier. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254
Rnd7
Barion Brown
Value with a capital V on Barion Brown in No. 254, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255
Rnd7
Brett Norfleet
They did well to land Brett Norfleet in the 255th pick, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
