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

The Jets treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 162 on Dont'e Thornton Jr. a full 23 spots early.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hamilton.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 12th pick they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A conviction pick on Jayden Higgins at the 42nd overall pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A straight-up fair deal on Elijah Arroyo at slot 73, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick110 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Fair-plus on Lathan Ransom, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
Value with a capital V on Ty Hamilton in pick No. 145, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at pick No. 186 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kain Medrano
Kain Medrano at Round 6, Pick 31 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
