Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Jets.

The war room fell hard for Sai'vion Jones, and it showed at No. 110: 36 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 7 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 10, and they pounced on premier safety value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 73rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick110 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sai'vion Jones well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Good price on Hollin Pierce in pick No. 145, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jalen Rivers
They will replay Jalen Rivers at slot 186 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
