Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Jets.

The Jets did not so much draft Mitchell Melton as overpay for him, 176 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Hit on Jordyn Tyson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
No edge and no loss on Jordyn Tyson in the 7th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick18 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In pick No. 18 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Sam Leavitt
They reached into another round for Sam Leavitt, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47 Rnd2 Diego Pavia
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Diego Pavia well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
They paid up for Mikail Kamara at Round 4, Pick 4 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd5 Braylan Shelby
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braylan Shelby this early at slot 177. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Value said wait; Raylen Wilson in the 194th pick says they were not listening. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203 Rnd6 Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack at No. 203 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jalen Thompson
They reached a country mile for Jalen Thompson at the 212th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218 Rnd7 Mitchell Melton
Mitchell Melton at Round 7, Pick 3 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jalen Hale
A big swing on Jalen Hale at slot 239, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick256 Rnd7 Haynes King
A wild overpay on Haynes King in pick No. 256, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
