Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Jets.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Mikail Kamara in the Round 4 slot, a good 52 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Royer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the 2nd overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They took CJ Allen at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick44 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Garrett Nussmeier well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara in the 103rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140 Rnd4 Joe Royer
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Joe Royer at pick No. 140. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick146 Rnd5 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan at pick No. 146 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
