Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Jets, and a B- to prove it.

The Jets did not so much draft Jackson Hawes as overpay for him, 92 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyleik Williams in the 42nd pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
By-the-book stuff, Mason Taylor at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
They paid up for Kyle McCord at pick 110 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in pick No. 145 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jackson Hawes
Value said wait; Jackson Hawes in No. 162 says they were not listening. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick186 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
A wild overpay on R.J. Mickens in pick 186, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at No. 207 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
