Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA FutureB
More right than wrong for the Jets, and a B to prove it.

The Jets clearly saw something nobody else did in Arik Gilbert, taking him 124 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That is a defensive back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 17 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Lynn Polk. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 75th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in pick No. 84 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brian Thomas Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 5, Pick 12 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick167 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
They reached into another round for Curtis Jacobs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Batty this early at Round 5, Pick 37. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the 189th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in slot 208 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Arik Gilbert
They talked themselves into Arik Gilbert at the 232nd pick, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jahdae Barron
They will replay Jahdae Barron at pick 255 for years; that is how good the value is. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick256 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
A real head-scratcher, Roman Hemby in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
