Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesD+ FutureA
The Jets checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Jets spent the 157th pick on CJ West, a name the board had a full 60 spots lower.

Wells Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a seam-stretching tight end. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick81 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in No. 81 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Billy Bowman Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Billy Bowman Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They took Jordan Phillips at par in the 109th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 118. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kobe King
Kobe King at slot 146 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick157 Rnd5 CJ West
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ West in pick No. 157, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Dont'e Thornton Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. is a better player than Round 6, Pick 31 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
