Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesD+ FutureA
The Jets checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 162 will need to, sitting 23 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. That Winston Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 12 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in No. 73 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Value with a capital V on Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 110, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They took Quincy Riley at par in the 145th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 162nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 CJ West
By-the-book stuff, CJ West at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kain Medrano
They jumped the gun on Kain Medrano, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor need, but a need all the same.
