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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Jets started one anyway for Gino Garcia, 98 picks ahead of schedule. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ransom. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick 14 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at slot 42 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darien Porter. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
They let Jalen Milroe come to them and pounced at the 110th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at pick No. 117 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They robbed the room for Lathan Ransom here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 151st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at pick 162 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A conviction pick on Oronde Gadsden II at No. 186 that the board grades a round light. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Gino Garcia
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gino Garcia this early at Round 6, Pick 31. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
