Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Jets let Mitchell fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

When a board-topper like Adonai Mitchell slides to the Round 3 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Jets did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

Steele has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 31 they get a true top target at fair value.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
No drama and no debate, Tyler Guyton went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 3. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 72 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Davis. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at pick 94 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick111 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They paid sticker price for Jordan Travis in No. 131, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They reached a country mile for Carson Steele at the 225th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy at pick No. 227 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at Round 7, Pick 9 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Zakhari Franklin in pick 252, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Value with a capital V on Nathaniel Watson in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They did well to land Eric Gentry in the 256th pick, just ahead of his grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
