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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Jets started one anyway for Jalen Milroe, 22 picks ahead of schedule.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The Reed pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mason Graham
By-the-book stuff, Mason Graham at pick No. 7 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick42 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Colston Loveland at the Round 2 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in the 73rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They liked Emery Jones Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 110. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at No. 145 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
The board had cheaper options than Kyle Williams at the 162nd overall pick, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in No. 186 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Somehow Jaylen Reed was still sitting there in the 207th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
