Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureF
The Jets won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: C-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Jets reached some 50 spots for Adepoju Adebawore, and value like that does not grow back. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Landing Laloulu that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They will answer for taking quarterback early while running back went begging.

So much rides on Ellis Robinson IV that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ellis Robinson IV
In slot 6 they get a lockdown presence outside. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick13 Rnd1 KJ Bolden
In the 13th pick they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Trinidad Chambliss
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Trinidad Chambliss adds a quarterback and leaves running back untouched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tyrique Tucker
Tyrique Tucker at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick124 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 124 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Brandon Inniss
No edge and no loss on Brandon Inniss in the 146th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick190 Rnd6 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore at Round 6, Pick 12 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
A straight-up fair deal on Earnest Greene III at slot 209, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Johntay Cook
They paid up for Johntay Cook at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick257 Rnd7 Byrum Brown
Byrum Brown at the 257th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
