Draft Grade — Jets
Overall F
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD+
A weekend the Jets spent fighting the board, and losing. F.

Somebody took the Jets to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

They are betting Gentry proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. Landing Zinter that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with cornerback still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
They paid sticker price for Marvin Harrison Jr. in pick 2, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Zak Zinter in pick No. 112, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 8. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick156 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
By-the-book stuff, Khristian Boyd at the 156th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the 167th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They reached a country mile for Taulia Tagovailoa at No. 226, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at slot 253 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
