Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Jets turned the phones into found money: A-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Trinidad Chambliss in slot 44, a good 75 spots before the room expected him.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 16th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick18 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In No. 18 they get a red-zone target to build around. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
Value said wait; Akheem Mesidor in slot 33 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44 Rnd2 Trinidad Chambliss
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trinidad Chambliss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
A premium they did not need to pay, Bishop Fitzgerald a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 Keyshaun Elliott
They paid up for Keyshaun Elliott at pick No. 175 when waiting would have done the job. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick178 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at Round 5, Pick 40 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Fair-plus on Josh Moten, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Diego Pavia
They took Diego Pavia at par in pick 206, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Alex Harkey
They reached a country mile for Alex Harkey at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris in slot 218 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242 Rnd7 Mitchell Melton
A big swing on Mitchell Melton at the 242nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
