Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A franchise passer in Mendoza headlines a C+ weekend for the Jets.

The Hykeem Williams selection is the head-turner. The Jets reached 108 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Whatever Fernando Mendoza becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Love falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In slot 12 they get a franchise quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 16th pick they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
Value said wait; Gennings Dunker in pick 33 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44 Rnd2 Zachariah Branch
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zachariah Branch well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick48 Rnd2 Chris Bell
Nothing to complain about; Chris Bell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 CJ Daniels
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ Daniels in Round 3, Pick 13, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in the 103rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry at slot 114 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Keagen Trost
They reached into another round for Keagen Trost, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at Round 5, Pick 37 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd5 Hykeem Williams
They reached a country mile for Hykeem Williams at the 178th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
They took Oscar Delp at par in pick No. 192, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
