Draft Grade — Jets
Overall
D+
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Jets to a D+. The Jets went off the board in a big way for Sam Hartman, 63 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That Thomas Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Taking Brian Thomas Jr. in slot 62 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jordan Morgan
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jordan Morgan in the 72nd pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
A tidy little value on Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 78, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
They did well to land Cooper Beebe in No. 81, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 26 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at slot 112 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in the 117th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They paid sticker price for Cedric Gray in No. 124, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick128
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
A tidy bit of business in the 128th overall pick, where Tyler Davis graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick129
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams slipping to Round 4, Pick 29 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A quiet steal in pick 131: Jarvis Brownlee Jr. for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tykee Smith in the Round 5 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jalyx Hunt
They read the board right and Jalyx Hunt was the payoff at pick No. 184. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick200
Rnd6
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at the 200th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
The board fumbled Tahj Washington all the way to slot 218, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
Value said wait; Sam Hartman in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246
Rnd7
Rasheen Ali
They will replay Rasheen Ali at Round 7, Pick 26 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 256 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
Circle this one: Trevin Wallace at No. 257 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
