Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesB FutureA
Good, not great, for the Jets: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Jets did exactly that with Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 119. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 17th pick they get a security blanket over the middle. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cameron Williams. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Value said wait; Darius Alexander in the 73rd overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A tidy little value on Darien Porter in Round 3, Pick 17, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kobe King
A wild overpay on Kobe King in pick No. 110, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick119 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 119, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Nothing to complain about; Hollin Pierce went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They paid sticker price for Tommi Hill in No. 162, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They jumped the gun on KeAndre Lambert-Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
By-the-book stuff, Luke Lachey at pick No. 207 squarely in line with his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
