Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesD+ FutureA
The Jets did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Jets did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at slot 42 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick No. 92 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in No. 109 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Logan Brown
By-the-book stuff, Logan Brown at the 146th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in Round 5, Pick 18 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Good price on Jay Higgins in pick 188, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jonas Sanker
No drama and no debate, Jonas Sanker went about where he belonged in the 209th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
