Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Jets this weekend: B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Jets came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

However the rest shakes out, Williams at that price is a win they earned. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Guyton at No. 48 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick96 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
A slide stopped in the 96th pick, with McKinnley Jackson worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Malik Washington
The board had cheaper options than Malik Washington at the 111th overall pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at slot 129 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 James Williams
They read the board right and James Williams was the payoff at pick No. 147. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at pick 187 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A reach on Nathaniel Watson in Round 7, Pick 9; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick230 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Fair-plus on Daequan Hardy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones is a better player than the 255th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Myles Cole
They took Myles Cole at par in slot 256, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
