Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Jets turned the phones into found money: B+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Wesley Williams at slot 242 is 70 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

Lew at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Jets indulged a want in Allen while a need in cornerback and safety stayed open.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick No. 6 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, even if it was a touch early.
Pick24 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In pick 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
No edge and no loss on Omar Cooper Jr. in the 33rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick60 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They zigged when the board said zag, taking CJ Allen at linebacker with cornerback and safety open.
Pick116 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Steal is underselling it; Connor Lew at No. 116 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
Value said wait; Max Llewellyn in Round 4, Pick 27 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick 140 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Demond Claiborne. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd5 Zane Durant
No drama and no debate, Zane Durant went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick242 Rnd7 Wesley Williams
Wesley Williams in the 242nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
