Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Jets, and a B- to prove it.

The Jets went off the board in a big way for Dylan McMahon, 36 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. 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. The Worthy value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 10th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
They read the board right and Xavier Worthy was the payoff at the 72nd overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A real head-scratcher, Beau Brade in Round 4, Pick 11 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Value said wait; Javion Cohen in pick No. 135 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They paid up for Curtis Jacobs at No. 185 when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
No drama and no debate, Tyrice Knight went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick257 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon at the 257th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
