Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jets drew a line under the quarterback search with Mendoza: B.

The Jets looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jamari Lyons at No. 254 regardless, 68 picks early. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Everything downstream of Fernando Mendoza depends on Fernando Mendoza, and the building knows it. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Haulcy.

The Jets indulged a want in Barham while a need in cornerback and running back stayed open.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In No. 6 they get their quarterback of the future, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In slot 32 they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
No drama and no debate, Jake Slaughter went about where he belonged in the 40th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at Round 3, Pick 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at pick 78 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick95 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
They robbed the room for A.J. Haulcy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Value said wait; Derrick Moore in the 105th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 113th pick on Jaishawn Barham with cornerback and running back unsolved.
Pick178 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 38 with a little surplus value in CJ Daniels. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in slot 192 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Value with a capital V on Bud Clark in pick No. 202, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208 Rnd6 Barion Brown
They talked themselves into Barion Brown at No. 208, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237 Rnd7 PJ Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: PJ Williams in pick 237, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Solomon Tuliaupupu
A wild overpay on Solomon Tuliaupupu in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
They reached a country mile for Jamari Lyons at slot 254, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
