Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Manning in the fold, and a B for the Jets.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Noah Thomas in pick No. 182, a good 96 spots before the room expected him.

They have staked the next five years on Arch Manning, which is the only story that really matters here. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lee.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Arch Manning
Nothing to complain about; Arch Manning went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
No drama and no debate, Nyck Harbor went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks in pick 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick104 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A reach for DeMonte Capehart in Round 4, Pick 2; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
They reached into another round for Pat Coogan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
They paid a round early for Trey Zuhn III in the 143rd pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
They talked themselves into Noah Thomas at pick 182, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 Kayin Lee
Kayin Lee at No. 197 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Dasan McCullough
Good price on Dasan McCullough in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
A real head-scratcher, Keaten Wade in slot 251 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jehiem Oatis
Jehiem Oatis at Round 7, Pick 37 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
