Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Jets.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Jets shredded theirs for Joe Milton III. He came off 81 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Simpson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 10 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They jumped the gun on Brenden Rice, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joe Milton III in the 135th pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
The board fumbled Jaylin Simpson all the way to the 185th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They went early on Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 256, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick257 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at pick No. 257 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
