Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
The Jets fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B-.

The Jets did not so much draft Jordan Travis as overpay for him, 46 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

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

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 2 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They took Keon Coleman at par in pick 40, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A premium they did not need to pay, Brenden Rice a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Travis this early at Round 4, Pick 34. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kalen King
Kalen King at the 185th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jaylon Carlies
Jaylon Carlies in No. 256 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Solomon Byrd. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
