Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Jets: C+.

For all the boxes ticked, the Jets skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.

The Higgins reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 7th pick they get a security blanket over the middle, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They paid a round early for Jayden Higgins in the 42nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A reasonable price with a little left over, Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 73. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick110 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick 145 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in No. 162 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A tidy little value on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 10, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
No edge and no loss on R.J. Mickens in slot 207; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
