Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 253 lands the Jets a B-, Devonshire and all.

When a board-topper like M.J. Devonshire slides to pick 253, you do not overthink it, and the Jets did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 10 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes is a better player than pick 72 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114 Rnd4 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick187 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at the 187th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in the 253rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They will replay Tyler Owens at pick No. 254 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at No. 257 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
