Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets kept it disciplined and banked a 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 Jaylen Reed in pick No. 162. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A premium they did not need to pay, Jayden Higgins a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
No drama and no debate, Elijah Arroyo went about where he belonged in pick No. 73. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Ty Hamilton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty Hamilton this early at the 110th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in the 145th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at Round 5, Pick 24 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 186 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kain Medrano
A reach for Kain Medrano in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
