Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jets: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Jets reached some 29 spots for Michael Pratt, and value like that does not grow back. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Burton steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 12th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at Round 3, Pick 8 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They paid sticker price for Calen Bullock in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
They talked themselves into Michael Pratt at pick 111, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They liked Tommy Eichenberg enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 135. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick145 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trevor Keegan. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A conviction pick on Jase McClellan at pick 185 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Bub Means
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bub Means at the 256th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
A reach for Richard Jibunor in No. 257; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
