Draft Grade — Jets
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC-
The Jets jumped the board for Milton III and paid for it: F.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Jets spent pick 134 on Joe Milton III, a name the board had a full 82 spots lower.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

The Edwards steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
They took Joe Alt at par in the 4th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
No drama and no debate, Troy Franklin went about where he belonged in No. 35. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 111 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
A wild overpay on Joe Milton III in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
They paid sticker price for Dominique Hampton in Round 6, Pick 10, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256 Rnd7 Daijun Edwards
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Daijun Edwards at slot 256 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257 Rnd7 McCallan Castles
They reached into another round for McCallan Castles, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
