Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets answered their biggest question with Sanders. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. De'Corian Clark sat on the board until No. 232, and the Jets did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Whatever Shedeur Sanders becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Kuithe reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In slot 11 they get a long-term answer under center. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Somehow Jonathon Brooks was still sitting there in the 75th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Graham Barton
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 11, with Graham Barton worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Nice patience on Jamon Dumas-Johnson, who had no business lasting to the 148th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith slid further than he should have, and pick 189 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
They paid sticker price for Zion Nelson in No. 255, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
They liked Brant Kuithe enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 256. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
