Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jets let Wallace fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Jets, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Wallace at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Gray pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 JC Latham
JC Latham in pick No. 14 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick46 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at slot 46 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Nothing to complain about; Spencer Rattler went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in pick 110. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Value with a capital V on Christian Mahogany in the 112th pick, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They jumped the gun on Cedric Gray, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at No. 150 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden slipping to Round 6, Pick 9 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Myles Cole
No edge and no loss on Myles Cole in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in slot 234 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Frank Gore Jr. in pick 239. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the 256th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at pick No. 257 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
