Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Jets checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Jets bet big and early on Gabe Hall, 53 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Richardson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jackson Powers-Johnson went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
They read the board right and Ja'Lynn Polk was the payoff at the 72nd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 111th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
They reached a country mile for Gabe Hall at No. 147, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at slot 187 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
They paid sticker price for Trey Wedig in the 255th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
Somehow Demani Richardson was still sitting there in slot 256, and they pounced on premier safety value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
