Mudski57 DRAFTING FOR THEJets
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Jets
Overall
B
ValueB

TradesB-
FutureB-
The Jets finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Jets committed. Fernando Mendoza is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.
The Aguilar value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In pick No. 2 they get a franchise quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
They read the board right and Kenyon Sadiq was the payoff at pick 33. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick44
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Good price on Anthony Hill Jr. in the 44th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick103
Rnd4
Kaytron Allen
Fair-plus on Kaytron Allen, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with DJ Campbell worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178
Rnd5
Sawyer Robertson
A clean, defensible pick in No. 178 with a little surplus value in Sawyer Robertson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192
Rnd6
Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at the 192nd pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206
Rnd6
Robert Spears-Jennings
No edge and no loss on Robert Spears-Jennings in Round 6, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209
Rnd6
Tristan Leigh
A straight-up fair deal on Tristan Leigh at the 209th pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218
Rnd7
J. Michael Sturdivant
No drama and no debate, J. Michael Sturdivant went about where he belonged in No. 218. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242
Rnd7
Joey Aguilar
Steal is underselling it; Joey Aguilar at pick No. 242 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
