Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jets bet the future on Ewers. The board says B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jabbar Muhammad slide, and the Jets were the ones holding the card at the Round 4 slot. Highway robbery. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

Whatever Quinn Ewers becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in the 10th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63 Rnd2 Emery Jones
They will replay Emery Jones at No. 63 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in pick No. 74, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at the 109th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in the 138th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick170 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 10 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
They paid sticker price for Jalen Travis in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
