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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Jets shredded theirs for Garrett Nussmeier. He came off 48 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lew. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In No. 16 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Value said wait; Garrett Nussmeier in pick 33 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They did well to land Anthony Hill Jr. in pick No. 44, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick103 Rnd4 Connor Lew
They robbed the room for Connor Lew here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd4 Will Lee III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Will Lee III in the 140th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nate Boerkircher at the 179th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick228 Rnd7 Chase Roberts
Fair-plus on Chase Roberts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Nwokobia at Round 7, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
