Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Jets worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The Jets went off the board in a big way for Dominic Zvada, 67 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The Caldwell value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Spending an early pick on linebacker with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 16th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In slot 20 they get a seam-stretching tight end. More want than need.
Pick33 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A quiet steal in the 33rd pick: Olaivavega Ioane for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick44 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Chris Johnson at pick No. 44 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in No. 92 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Bud Clark
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bud Clark. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A want over a need in pick No. 140: Harold Perkins Jr. adds a linebacker while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick179 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A reach for Taylen Green in Round 5, Pick 39; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
They robbed the room for Jeff Caldwell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at the 242nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
