Singh DRAFTING FOR THEJets

Draft Grade — Jets

FutureB-
The Jets bet the future on Simpson. The board says B-. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Jets spent their marquee pick on Ty Simpson, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.
That Leavitt pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If Collins pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Ty Simpson
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
Chris Brazzell II at the 18th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick38
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in No. 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick47
Rnd2
Romello Height
They jumped the gun on Romello Height, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt in the 104th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177
Rnd5
Darius Taylor
No edge and no loss on Darius Taylor in pick 177; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak at pick No. 203 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick212
Rnd6
DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey in the 212th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218
Rnd7
Trebor Pena
They paid sticker price for Trebor Pena in No. 218, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the Round 7 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254
Rnd7
Kelby Collins
Kelby Collins at the 254th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at slot 256 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
