Draft Grade — Jets
Overall
D

NeedB-
TradesF
FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Jets to a D. Some picks age like wine; Joe Milton III at slot 140 will need to, sitting 60 spots clear of his grade. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 19th pick they get a cornerstone up front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ricky Pearsall. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in pick 72, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at No. 78 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick105
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
They did well to land Christian Mahogany in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in slot 110 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
The board had Jalen McMillan higher than pick No. 111, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at No. 125 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in slot 126, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Beau Brade
By-the-book stuff, Beau Brade at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in the 139th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at Round 5, Pick 4 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tommy Eichenberg in pick 152. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick154
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 154th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
A tidy little value on Kitan Oladapo in slot 158, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
Fair-plus on Dylan Laube, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at No. 163 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
No drama and no debate, Xavier Thomas went about where he belonged in pick 164. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in the 174th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in Round 6, Pick 6 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
No edge and no loss on Fabien Lovett in the 184th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tahj Washington in No. 216, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
They read the board right and Nathaniel Watson was the payoff at slot 222. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick225
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
Nothing to complain about; JD Bertrand went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick226
Rnd7
Trente Jones
Trente Jones in Round 7, Pick 6 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232
Rnd7
Trey Knox
A quiet steal in the 232nd overall pick: Trey Knox for less than the market said. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick257
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 257 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
