Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Jets drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: A-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Jets were there to profit. Wyatt Milum, the No. 23 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 221st overall pick. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

Whatever Cam Ward becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Andru Phillips gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Cam Ward and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 12th pick they get a franchise quarterback, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in pick No. 43 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44 Rnd2 Will Campbell
You do not let an offensive lineman like Will Campbell reach slot 44 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 75th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Circle this one: Quinn Ewers at pick 92 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Colston Loveland
They barely believed it either: Colston Loveland still on the board at No. 147. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kyle Kennard
The board fumbled Kyle Kennard all the way to Round 5, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
They robbed the room for Malachi Moore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Xavier Restrepo
They will replay Xavier Restrepo at the 206th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in No. 221 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
