Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Jets drew a line under the quarterback search with Allar: B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Jets spent their marquee pick on Drew Allar, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If Dellinger pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, safety and other spots went begging.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Revel Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Drew Allar
In the 26th pick they get the arm they will build around, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Howard Cross III
A premium they did not need to pay, Howard Cross III a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in slot 58 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick83 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, safety and other spots to take Danny Stutsman, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick93 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 93 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick115 Rnd4 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. in pick No. 115 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at No. 147 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Azareye'h Thomas
They read the board right and Azareye'h Thomas was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kyle McCord in slot 192. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
