Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Jets a B-.

The tape said wait; the Jets did not. Jackson Hawes went at the Round 6 slot, a good 68 picks before the board was ready.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On value alone, Harmon makes the weekend a net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A tidy bit of business in the 42nd overall pick, where Derrick Harmon graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in slot 73 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Value with a capital V on Tai Felton in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
They talked themselves into Jaylen Reed at the 145th pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They liked Ajani Cornelius enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 162. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
A big swing on Jackson Hawes at Round 6, Pick 10, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Good price on Jay Higgins in No. 207, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
