Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Jets went off the board in a big way for R.J. Mickens, 26 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 7 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Harold Fannin Jr. a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick73 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at Round 3, Pick 9 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in slot 110 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in pick 162 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at the 186th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick207 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in pick No. 207 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
