Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Jets to a B-.

The Jets clearly saw something nobody else did in Jaylen Reed, taking him 43 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

On value alone, Golden makes the weekend a net positive.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 23rd overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that.
Pick42 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They paid sticker price for Aireontae Ersery in No. 42, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A straight-up fair deal on Elijah Arroyo at pick No. 73, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
No edge and no loss on Jeffrey Bassa in slot 124; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at pick 145 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 159 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Que Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Que Robinson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They took JJ Pegues at par in the 186th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
By-the-book stuff, Caleb Ransaw at Round 6, Pick 31 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
