Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Jets: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Jets would have aced it. Hudson Card at No. 256 is 112 spots clear of where he belonged.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Nelson. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 7th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A wild overpay on Brenden Rice in pick 71, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 107 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
Value said wait; T.J. Sanders in the 144th pick says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They let Jack Nelson come to them and pounced at slot 185. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They reached into another round for Carson Steele, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at No. 255 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick256 Rnd7 Hudson Card
Hudson Card at slot 256 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
