Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Jets.

Nobody had Jordan Hall this high, and it is not close. The Jets reached 72 spots to get him at No. 175.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Landing Styles that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In pick 2 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick No. 33 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick44 Rnd2 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at No. 44 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at slot 103 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in the 175th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
They paid up for Raylen Wilson at the 178th pick when waiting would have done the job. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick192 Rnd6 Barion Brown
They jumped the gun on Barion Brown, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
No edge and no loss on Robert Spears-Jennings in pick 206; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ethan O'Connor
They talked themselves into Ethan O'Connor at pick No. 209, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd7 PJ Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, PJ Williams a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick242 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
Value said wait; Keaten Wade in the 242nd overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
