Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The search is over. The Jets handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

They are betting Birchmeier proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Brazzell II pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
They paid a round early for Fernando Mendoza in pick No. 2, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick33 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
They barely believed it either: Chris Brazzell II still on the board at Round 2, Pick 1. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
A wild overpay on Akheem Mesidor in the 102nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
A real head-scratcher, Lee Hunter in slot 178 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby at the 189th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Zuhn III. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Alex Birchmeier
They reached into another round for Alex Birchmeier, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Malik Hartford worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Smith Snowden
A tidy little value on Smith Snowden in Round 7, Pick 39, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dante Dowdell
Value said wait; Dante Dowdell in the 255th pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
