Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Jets.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: JJ Pegues, 25 picks early at slot 162. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Reed pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
They liked Tyler Warren enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 1 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at Round 2, Pick 10 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at pick No. 73 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. slipping to the 110th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
No drama and no debate, Quincy Riley went about where he belonged in No. 145. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They left a pile of value on the table to take JJ Pegues this early at the 162nd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 186th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed is a better player than Round 6, Pick 31 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
