Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Larceny in slot 108 lands the Jets a C+, Bernard and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Germie Bernard, No. 108, roughly 50 picks past where he belonged.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Reaching for Dennis-Sutton left real value on the table behind him.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

So much rides on Arvell Reese that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 16 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick29 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In pick No. 29 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Zion Young
They paid a round early for Zion Young in Round 2, Pick 1, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Nothing to complain about; Dillon Thieneman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at pick 44 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at No. 62 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jake Slaughter
Circle this one: Jake Slaughter at the 103rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108 Rnd4 Germie Bernard
They will replay Germie Bernard at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Oscar Delp in Round 4, Pick 40. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick176 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 179 with a little surplus value in Domani Jackson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 David Gusta
A reasonable price with a little left over, David Gusta in the 210th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
They did well to land Kaden Wetjen in the 228th pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall in pick 242 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
