Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Jets this weekend: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Jets spent No. 257 on Devin Culp, a name most had 47 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Shipley value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Brian Thomas Jr. at Round 1, Pick 15, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A slide stopped in the 46th pick, with Jordan Morgan worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
By-the-book stuff, Devontez Walker at slot 72 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
No edge and no loss on Blake Fisher in No. 111; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Nice patience on Will Shipley, who had no business lasting to pick No. 117. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
A reach for Jalyx Hunt in pick 135; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They liked Joe Milton III enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 185. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
No drama and no debate, Edefuan Ulofoshio went about where he belonged in the 234th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in pick 256 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick257 Rnd7 Devin Culp
Devin Culp in the 257th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
