Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jets: B-.

The tape said wait; the Jets did not. Richard Jibunor went at the Round 7 slot, a good 108 picks before the board was ready.

The Wiggins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 10 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins in Round 3, Pick 8 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at slot 111 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Christian Jones
The board had cheaper options than Christian Jones at the 187th overall pick, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
A big swing on Richard Jibunor at the 229th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Julius Welschof
This one needs a full-page explanation: Julius Welschof in pick No. 255, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Value said wait; Ryan Flournoy in No. 256 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
