Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jets won the night they stopped Torrence from sliding. Grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ro Torrence, pick No. 219, roughly 42 picks past where he belonged.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Jets clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson slipping to Round 2, Pick 30 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 71 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at pick No. 72 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul is a better player than slot 80 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in the 88th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Malik Washington
They took Malik Washington at par in the 90th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Will Shipley
They did well to land Will Shipley in pick 111, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Maason Smith
No edge and no loss on Maason Smith in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A tidy bit of business in slot 126, where Cedric Gray graded well above the range. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
They paid sticker price for Michael Pratt in pick 135, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaheim Bell. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in the 184th pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Steal is underselling it; Kitan Oladapo at No. 185 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
They will replay Ro Torrence at Round 6, Pick 44 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Taking Tylan Grable in pick No. 256 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Bub Means
Value with a capital V on Bub Means in the 257th pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
