Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Jets, and a B to prove it.

For all the boxes ticked, the Jets skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Cephus. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 15 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens slid further than he should have, and slot 46 is lovely value for the safety. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ricky Pearsall. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in pick 112 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in the 144th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick187 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at pick No. 187 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick226 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Myles Jones in the 226th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
The board had Joshua Cephus higher than Round 7, Pick 33, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Carson Steele
By-the-book stuff, Carson Steele at the 254th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at slot 257 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
