Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jets won the night they stopped Zinter from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Zak Zinter got past him. The Jets do not have to explain a thing at pick 135. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Jones pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The Christian Wilkins pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 13th pick they get a seam-stretching tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick72 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick 72 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
A straight-up fair deal on Spencer Rattler at the 111th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Circle this one: Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 35 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They liked Trente Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 185. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
They took Tyrice Knight at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
They let Jordan Whittington come to them and pounced at slot 257. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
