Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB-
The Jets did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Jets did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Greg Johnson fell into the 68th pick.

The cost of the Landino reach is exactly the players who went right after him. It is not that Brown is a bad player; it is that the Jets had louder needs to answer first.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Colin Simmons
In the 4th overall pick they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick10 Rnd1 Ellis Robinson IV
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16 Rnd1 Chris Cole
In the 16th pick they get a three-down second-level presence. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kade Pieper
No edge and no loss on Kade Pieper in pick No. 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Sammy Brown
A curious use of slot 50. Quarterback, safety and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Sammy Brown did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Greg Johnson reach the 68th overall pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107 Rnd4 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at pick 107 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
A real head-scratcher, Earnest Greene III in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Mario Landino
They talked themselves into Mario Landino at No. 185, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Drew Bobo
Drew Bobo at Round 6, Pick 23 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
