Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Jets spent slot 110 on Mitchell Evans, a name most had 41 spots down the list. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Hamilton at that price is a win they earned.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 7th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A reach on Jayden Higgins in slot 42; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in pick No. 110 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
A tidy bit of business in No. 145, where Ty Hamilton graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 162nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Reed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kain Medrano
They jumped the gun on Kain Medrano, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
