Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureA
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jets: B.

The Logan Fano selection is the head-turner. The Jets reached 94 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Haulcy value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 12th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the 16th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
By-the-book stuff, Kenyon Sadiq at Round 1, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick33 Rnd2 Colton Hood
A tidy bit of business in slot 33, where Colton Hood graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at pick No. 49 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
The board fumbled A.J. Haulcy all the way to No. 92, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
They robbed the room for Mike Washington Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
You do not let an offensive lineman like Chase Bisontis reach the 103rd pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112 Rnd4 Malachi Fields
They will replay Malachi Fields at pick 112 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140 Rnd4 Drew Allar
A conviction pick on Drew Allar at pick No. 140 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Logan Fano
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Fano in the Round 5 slot, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin in slot 179 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
The board had Thaddeus Dixon higher than No. 228, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 26 is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
