Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets cashed the board's mistake on Kiser: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jack Kiser, the No. 184 name on the board, stolen at pick 207. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Thornton Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They jumped the gun on Jayden Higgins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in pick 73 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 110 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at the 145th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 162nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at No. 186 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at Round 6, Pick 31 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
