Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Jets treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 255 on Taulia Tagovailoa a full 130 spots early.

That Fautanu pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 7th pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Troy Fautanu
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 107 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in Round 5, Pick 8 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
They reached a country mile for Isaiah Williams at the 185th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Value said wait; Frank Gore Jr. in slot 228 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They reached into another round for Taulia Tagovailoa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A straight-up fair deal on Sam Hartman at Round 7, Pick 36, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
