Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureC
Good, not great, for the Jets: B-.

The Jets clearly saw something nobody else did in Seth McLaughlin, taking him 31 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That Bassa pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 7th pick they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach slot 42 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick49 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Deone Walker this early at Round 2, Pick 17. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in No. 92 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalen Milroe at the 109th overall pick is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in pick 146 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in Round 5, Pick 18 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick188 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 188 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Value said wait; Seth McLaughlin in No. 209 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
