Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Jets clearly saw something nobody else did in Jalen McLeod, taking him 29 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Loveland pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 7th overall pick they get a load in the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They read the board right and Colston Loveland was the payoff at slot 42. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They jumped the gun on Ozzy Trapilo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 110 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A straight-up fair deal on Quincy Riley at No. 145, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 162nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at Round 6, Pick 10 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A tidy little value on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 207th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
