Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 157th pick lands the Jets a B, Gabriel and all.

The Jets did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dillon Gabriel fell into slot 157. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at Round 1, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick42 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Nice patience on Malaki Starks, who had no business lasting to pick 42. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in slot 92 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They read the board right and Savion Williams was the payoff at No. 109. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the 146th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in the 157th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
They let Dorian Strong come to them and pounced at pick No. 188. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Upton Stout
They robbed the room for Upton Stout here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
