Draft Grade — Jets
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a D-, for the Jets.

The Jets put a flag in the ground for Carson Beck, 88 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Fernando Mendoza gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Trost.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 16th overall pick they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Carson Beck
A big swing on Carson Beck at No. 33, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Chris Bell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chris Bell in pick No. 44. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
They took Ja'Kobi Lane at par in slot 103, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
No edge and no loss on Domani Jackson in the 175th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick210 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
The board had cheaper options than Kaelon Black at Round 6, Pick 31, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost in slot 218 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
They liked Josh Cuevas enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 242. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
