Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets found their guy under center in Sanders: B.

Start where it matters. The Jets took Shedeur Sanders to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They are betting Pegues proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Simon. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick 7 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the 42nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in Round 4, Pick 8 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They left a pile of value on the table to take JJ Pegues this early at pick No. 146. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at No. 157 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the 188th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai slipping to slot 209 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
