JBHANCOCK94 DRAFTING FOR THEJets

Draft Grade — Jets
Overall

FutureA+
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a A-, for the Jets. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Fernando Mendoza is the Jets' quarterback, full stop. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. McAlister at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
The Jordan Addison deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In the 2nd pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
In pick No. 18 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Fair-plus on Anthony Hill Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109
Rnd4
Treydan Stukes
The board had Treydan Stukes higher than pick 109, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175
Rnd5
Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts is a better player than Round 5, Pick 37 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178
Rnd5
Jalen Stroman
Nothing to complain about; Jalen Stroman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick192
Rnd6
Red Murdock
Red Murdock at the 192nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick206
Rnd6
Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209
Rnd6
Toriano Pride Jr.
They took Toriano Pride Jr. at par in pick No. 209, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218
Rnd7
Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister in slot 218 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222
Rnd7
Kaelon Black
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kaelon Black in No. 222. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242
Rnd7
Fa'alili Fa'amoe
Fa'alili Fa'amoe at pick 242 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
