Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Jets, and a B- to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Keaten Wade at No. 254 will need to, sitting 110 spots clear of his grade. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They banked enough surplus on Leavitt to cover a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In pick No. 7 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value.
Pick18 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anthony Hill Jr. this early at No. 18. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick38 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They went early on Dillon Thieneman in pick 38, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick47 Rnd2 Daylen Everette
No edge and no loss on Daylen Everette in the 47th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt at Round 4, Pick 4 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Lee Hunter in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They read the board right and Jermaine Mathews Jr. was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 14. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Raylen Wilson a notch or two before his time. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jahiem White
Jahiem White in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
No drama and no debate, Trebor Pena went about where he belonged in slot 218. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at pick 239 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick254 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
A real head-scratcher, Keaten Wade in No. 254 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in pick No. 256 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
