Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jets: B-.

The tape said wait; the Jets did not. Garrett Nussmeier went at the 33rd pick, a good 46 picks before the board was ready. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 16 they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
They reached into another round for Garrett Nussmeier, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44 Rnd2 Zion Young
Zion Young at slot 44 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Taurean York
No drama and no debate, Taurean York went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick140 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
Hezekiah Masses slid further than he should have, and the 140th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Steal is underselling it; Nate Boerkircher at slot 179 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jalen Huskey
Fair-plus on Jalen Huskey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Nothing to complain about; Cole Payton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
