Draft Grade — Jets
Overall D
ValueB NeedA TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in Williams, and a D, for the Jets.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Jets shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On value alone, Jones makes the weekend a net positive.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 2 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in pick No. 40, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Value with a capital V on Jalen McMillan in Round 4, Pick 12, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
By-the-book stuff, Matt Goncalves at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Circle this one: Kamal Hadden at the 187th pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Sheridan Jones reach the 253rd overall pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A quiet steal in No. 254: Evan Williams for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson is a better player than pick 257 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
