Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dani Dennis-Sutton at pick No. 44, a reach of 39 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Cooper Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. It is not that Styles is a bad player; it is that the Jets had louder needs to answer first.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 2 they get a green-dot type in the middle. More want than need.
Pick16 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
A curious use of pick No. 16. Running back needed the pick; a linebacker in Sonny Styles did not.
Pick33 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in No. 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
A real head-scratcher, Dani Dennis-Sutton in pick 44 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Somehow Omar Cooper Jr. was still sitting there in the 103rd pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in the 175th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd5 Sawyer Robertson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sawyer Robertson this early at the Round 5 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick192 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
They reached a country mile for Zxavian Harris at Round 6, Pick 13, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A premium they did not need to pay, Jeff Caldwell a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Josh Moten
By-the-book stuff, Josh Moten at the 209th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Miles Kitselman. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick242 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
No drama and no debate, Trey Zuhn III went about where he belonged in the 242nd pick. The roster fit checks out.
