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

The Jets torched the value chart for Bilhal Kone, taking him 32 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Winston Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A reach on Jayden Higgins in Round 2, Pick 10; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They reached into another round for Darius Alexander, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
No edge and no loss on Terrance Ferguson in No. 110; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 117th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They paid sticker price for Quincy Riley in pick 145, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the 162nd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick 186 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at slot 207 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
