Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Manning headlines a B weekend for the Jets.

The Jets spent the pick that matters most on Arch Manning, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If McCullough pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If one pick saves this weekend, it is King. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Arch Manning
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nyck Harbor. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
They paid sticker price for Whit Weeks in No. 68, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
They paid up for Evan Stewart at slot 104 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
The board had cheaper options than DJ McKinney at the 139th pick, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick 143 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
By-the-book stuff, Pat Coogan at Round 6, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Dasan McCullough
They reached a country mile for Dasan McCullough at pick No. 197, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jamari Lyons
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamari Lyons this early at pick 210. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King at pick No. 251 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Riley Williams
Riley Williams is a better player than the 253rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
