Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Jets, and a B- to prove it.

The Jets treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 134 on Joe Milton III a full 82 spots early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Edwards falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A premium they did not need to pay, Patrick Paul a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They paid up for Brenden Rice at the 111th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at the Round 4 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
They reached into another round for Tanner McLachlan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick256 Rnd7 Daijun Edwards
They let Daijun Edwards come to them and pounced at pick 256. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257 Rnd7 Isaac Rex
They reached a country mile for Isaac Rex at slot 257, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
