Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets found their guy under center in Allar: B-.

The Noah Thomas selection is the head-turner. The Jets reached 98 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Whatever Drew Allar becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drew Allar
In No. 4 they get the face of the franchise, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at the 36th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Harold Perkins Jr. this early at the 68th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at pick 104 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Noah Thomas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Noah Thomas well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in pick No. 143 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dasan McCullough
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dasan McCullough. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Turner Corcoran
A real head-scratcher, Turner Corcoran in pick No. 197 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 TJ Ferguson
TJ Ferguson in the 210th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251 Rnd7 Clayton Smith
A big swing on Clayton Smith at No. 251, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ty Thompson
A straight-up fair deal on Ty Thompson at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
