Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB- TradesD+ FutureA+
A passer of the future in Nussmeier, and a B-, for the Jets.

The Wesley Williams pick is the one that will follow the Jets into the fall. They took him 73 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Whatever Garrett Nussmeier becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The Coleman value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 2nd overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense. More want than need.
Pick16 Rnd1 Garrett Nussmeier
In No. 16 they get a franchise quarterback, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman at Round 4, Pick 3 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Reggie Virgil at pick 175. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at slot 178 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Patrick Payton this early at the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
Eric O'Neill in No. 194 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
They took Jeremiah Wright at par in pick No. 206, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Value with a capital V on Le'Veon Moss in the 215th overall pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218 Rnd7 George Gumbs Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, George Gumbs Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick242 Rnd7 Wesley Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Wesley Williams. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
