Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Simpson is the plan now, and the Jets grade out a B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Jets committed. Ty Simpson is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In No. 2 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In pick No. 16 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at Round 2, Pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick44 Rnd2 Zion Young
By-the-book stuff, Zion Young at the 44th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
