Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Jets took Gunner Stockton a full 58 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. With interior defensive lineman and running back unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. They banked enough surplus on Sadiq to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick18 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 18 they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
A quiet steal in pick 34: Kenyon Sadiq for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick46 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman and running back to take CJ Allen, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick104 Rnd4 Gunner Stockton
Gunner Stockton in slot 104 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd5 Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills at the 176th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They did well to land Jermaine Mathews Jr. in pick 178, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
A tidy little value on Evan Stewart in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Princewill Umanmielen well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Roderick Kearney
A conviction pick on Roderick Kearney at Round 6, Pick 31 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They jumped the gun on Robert Spears-Jennings, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Brandon Inniss
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brandon Inniss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
