Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a B, for the Jets.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Fernando Mendoza is the Jets' quarterback, full stop. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Taylor reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
By-the-book stuff, Fernando Mendoza at the 2nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the 16th overall pick they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at Round 2, Pick 1 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick44 Rnd2 LT Overton
They jumped the gun on LT Overton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
Max Llewellyn at slot 103 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
A premium they did not need to pay, Ephesians Prysock a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
The board had Aamil Wagner higher than pick No. 178, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192 Rnd6 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at pick 192 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright at the 206th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor at slot 209 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Bud Clark
They read the board right and Bud Clark was the payoff at pick No. 218. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
A conviction pick on Nick Barrett at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
