Boombearjr DRAFTING FOR THEJets

Draft Grade — Jets
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB+
The Jets worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Jets would have aced it. Austin Reed at Round 7, Pick 35 is 42 spots clear of where he belonged. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Muhammad pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Jets paired the rookies with proven help, Zaven Collins leading the way.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the 18th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in Round 2, Pick 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick46
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 46 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at No. 68 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
A conviction pick on Payton Wilson at slot 79 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick82
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in the 82nd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Roman Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick 109 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115
Rnd4
Cade Stover
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cade Stover. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick145
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
A straight-up fair deal on Kamal Hadden at slot 145, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malik Mustapha at the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229
Rnd7
Dominic Lovett
Dominic Lovett at Round 7, Pick 9 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255
Rnd7
Austin Reed
Austin Reed at the 255th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad in No. 256 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
