Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Jets to a C.

The phones were a trap the Jets kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Trader Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Every board in the league had Monheim lower, and that gap is the story. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

So much rides on Tyler Warren that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 12th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They paid sticker price for Aireontae Ersery in slot 42, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A tidy little value on Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 9, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They took Smael Mondon Jr. at par in pick 110, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick145 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
By-the-book stuff, O'Donnell Fortune at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They jumped the gun on Antwaun Powell-Ryland, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in No. 162 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 186th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Reed at pick No. 188, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. is a better player than pick 239 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
