Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Jets.

There is reaching, and then there is Easton Gibbs at slot 257. The Jets jumped the board by 64 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 10 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in pick No. 72. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in Round 4, Pick 14 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at the 187th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They paid up for Garret Greenfield at pick 253 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
A conviction pick on Trey Taylor at No. 254 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257 Rnd7 Easton Gibbs
A big swing on Easton Gibbs at pick 257, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
