Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets cashed the board's mistake on Williams: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Jets were there to profit. Isaiah Williams, the No. 209 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will need Hall to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 10th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in pick No. 72. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 112th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke McCaffrey. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A wild overpay on Gabe Hall in slot 187, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony in Round 7, Pick 6 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
They robbed the room for Isaiah Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hunter Nourzad
By-the-book stuff, Hunter Nourzad at No. 254 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa slipping to pick 257 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
