Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets let Gould fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Jets spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Anthony Gould, the No. 166 name on the board, in Round 7, Pick 34.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 10 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick72 Rnd3 Troy Fautanu
They barely believed it either: Troy Fautanu still on the board at the 72nd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jordan Morgan
They will replay Jordan Morgan at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 114 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at slot 187 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Joe Milton III
Taking Joe Milton III in Round 7, Pick 33 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Anthony Gould
Somehow Anthony Gould was still sitting there in the 254th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards at pick 257 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
