Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Jets a A-.

The Jets looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kamran James at the 209th overall pick regardless, 55 picks early.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Roush.

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

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 18th overall pick they get a featured back, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Avieon Terrell
They read the board right and Avieon Terrell was the payoff at pick 33. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey at No. 44 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
No drama and no debate, D'Angelo Ponds went about where he belonged in pick No. 103. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the 112th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd5 Sam Roush
Sam Roush at the 178th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick192 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at pick No. 192 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
No edge and no loss on Peyton Bowen in pick 206; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kamran James
Value said wait; Kamran James in Round 6, Pick 30 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
They took Fernando Carmona at par in slot 218, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
They went early on Jamari Lyons in No. 242, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
