Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 228 lands the Jets a B-, Caldwell and all.

Somebody in pick No. 228 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Jets sat still while Jeff Caldwell, the No. 193 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Hill Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still on the board. Huskey has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense. More want than need.
Pick16 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 16 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in the 33rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A want over a need in the 44th pick: Anthony Hill Jr. adds a linebacker while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick103 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
By-the-book stuff, Malik Muhammad at slot 103 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
A tidy little value on Oscar Delp in No. 140, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick179 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at pick 179 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Taking Jeff Caldwell in Round 7, Pick 12 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jalen Huskey
Jalen Huskey at the 242nd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
