Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jets: B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Jets never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Higgins pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Hamilton steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 7 they get a building block for the line 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. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
No edge and no loss on Elijah Arroyo in pick 73; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. slipping to the 110th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
They let Ty Hamilton come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Rivers. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 186 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
A straight-up fair deal on Caleb Ransaw at pick No. 207, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
