Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesC- FutureD-
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 39 lands the Jets a C, Chambers and all.

Call it larceny. Steele Chambers sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Jets did not need to be asked twice. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

If Brock Bowers and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the Round 1 slot they get a security blanket over the middle. Need was not the driver here.
Pick22 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 22 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
The board had Javon Bullard higher than slot 58, and the safety fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Fair-plus on Kiran Amegadjie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A quiet steal in No. 111: Brenden Rice for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Circle this one: Caelen Carson at pick 126 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
They paid sticker price for Michael Pratt in Round 4, Pick 35, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at the 166th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They robbed the room for Trevor Keegan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
They will replay Fabien Lovett at pick No. 240 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Frank Gore Jr. at Round 7, Pick 36 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at pick 257 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
