Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets won the night they stopped Mitchell from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Quinyon Mitchell had no business being available in pick No. 147, and the Jets did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
The board had Marvin Harrison Jr. higher than Round 1, Pick 10, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in the 72nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
The board fumbled Spencer Rattler all the way to pick No. 111, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Quinyon Mitchell
Circle this one: Quinyon Mitchell at slot 147 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ainias Smith
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ainias Smith in pick 229, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They robbed the room for Blake Watson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry slid further than he should have, and the 256th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
