Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Jets: B-.

The Jalen Thompson pick is the one that will follow the Jets into the fall. They took him 47 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Arvell Reese well ahead of where he belonged. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick101 Rnd4 Nico Iamaleava
The board fumbled Nico Iamaleava all the way to pick 101, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140 Rnd4 Nic Anderson
They paid sticker price for Nic Anderson in slot 140, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Steal is underselling it; Aaron Anderson at the 183rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in pick No. 201 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss at pick No. 208 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Thompson in slot 245, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick256 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in Round 7, Pick 40 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
