Draft Grade — Jets
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Jets lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Jets took Zion Logue a full 43 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Still steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick8 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 8th overall pick they get a true top target, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Good price on Blake Fisher in pick No. 72, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 87 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They talked themselves into Luke McCaffrey at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the 121st pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
No edge and no loss on Tyler Davis in pick 134; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
They will replay Tarheeb Still at the 256th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick257 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in slot 257 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
