Draft Grade — Jets
Overall F
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureD-
The Jets left with their quarterback, and a F to match.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Jets were there to profit. Jay Higgins, the No. 57 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 162.

Reaching for Badger left real value on the table behind him. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
You do not let a cornerback like Jason Marshall Jr. reach Round 3, Pick 32 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 107th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick143 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Theo Wease Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 162 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick183 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
A wild overpay on Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 183, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at pick No. 207 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Value said wait; Garrett Dellinger in No. 222 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
