Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureA
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Jets.

Some picks age like wine; Bilhal Kone at the 207th overall pick will need to, sitting 32 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
No drama and no debate, Matthew Golden went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Fair-plus on Tyleik Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They liked Ozzy Trapilo enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 73. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A clean, defensible pick in the 110th pick with a little surplus value in Lathan Ransom. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in pick 145 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 162nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at No. 186 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at the 207th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
