Draft Grade — Jets
Overall D
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Jones headlines a D weekend for the Jets.

The Jets looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Emory Jones at the 10th overall pick regardless, 407 picks early. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

Emory Jones gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Emory Jones
In pick No. 10 they get their quarterback of the future, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick72 Rnd3 Aki Ogunbiyi
A real head-scratcher, Aki Ogunbiyi in the 72nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cal Haladay
Value said wait; Cal Haladay in slot 111 says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147 Rnd5 Easton Dean
Easton Dean at No. 147 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick187 Rnd6 Shane Lee
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shane Lee in Round 6, Pick 12, miles early. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Clark Barrington
Clark Barrington at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Matt Lee
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matt Lee well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 David Spaulding
They reached a country mile for David Spaulding at pick 256, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
