Draft Grade — Jets
Overall D
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Jets cashed the board's mistake on Monheim: D.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Jets did exactly that with Joey Slackman in the Round 6 slot. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

Landing Monheim that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 1st overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick7 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 7 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick No. 92 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108 Rnd4 Alfred Collins
They will replay Alfred Collins at Round 4, Pick 7 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
They reached into another round for Tyler Shough, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in the 144th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the 155th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick184 Rnd6 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in pick 184 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman at No. 206 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in pick No. 239 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
