Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Jets.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Jets took Kalil Alexander at No. 202, roughly 61 spots before his name belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Lawson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at running back. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick36 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at No. 36 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Deontae Lawson adds a linebacker and leaves running back untouched.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
A conviction pick on Zachariah Branch at pick 105 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd5 Carson Beck
They read the board right and Carson Beck was the payoff at pick No. 178. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick192 Rnd6 James Smith
James Smith in No. 192 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kalil Alexander this early at the 202nd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
Cam Calhoun at the 208th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
A reach for Tristan Leigh in Round 7, Pick 23; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings slipping to pick 253 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss in pick No. 254 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
