Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Jets clearly saw something nobody else did in Kyle McCord, taking him 45 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 7th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at pick 42. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
They talked themselves into Kyle McCord at Round 3, Pick 9, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
They will replay Sebastian Castro at slot 110 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Logan Brown
No edge and no loss on Logan Brown in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A tidy bit of business in the 162nd pick, where Pat Bryant graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Quincy Riley for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A tidy little value on Jay Higgins in slot 207, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
