Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Jets.

The Jets went off the board in a big way for George Gumbs Jr., 93 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Caldwell at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The Styles pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 2 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
Fair-plus on Carnell Tate, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick33 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 2 slot on Sonny Styles, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick44 Rnd2 LT Overton
LT Overton at slot 44 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in pick No. 103 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 140th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd5 George Gumbs Jr.
They reached a country mile for George Gumbs Jr. at slot 179, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Joe Fagnano
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joe Fagnano. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
They will replay Jeff Caldwell at pick 242 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
