Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jets: B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Jets walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

The Kinchens pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They are betting Milton III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Fair-plus on Keon Coleman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Good price on Patrick Paul in Round 3, Pick 8, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Nice patience on Kamren Kinchens, who had no business lasting to slot 80. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 111th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 135 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick 149 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A conviction pick on Joe Milton III at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
No drama and no debate, Steele Chambers went about where he belonged in pick 194. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in the 256th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford slid further than he should have, and the 257th overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
