Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jets and Bethune: B-.

When a board-topper like Tatum Bethune slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Jets did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Gray to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 10 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 72nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 111 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at Round 5, Pick 11 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They liked Joshua Gray enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 187. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
You do not let a linebacker like Tatum Bethune reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick255 Rnd7 Evan Williams
They read the board right and Evan Williams was the payoff at the 255th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Dorian Singer
They paid sticker price for Dorian Singer in No. 256, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
