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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Khordae Sydnor at pick 242, a reach of 205 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

However the rest shakes out, Davis at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 2 they get a green-dot type in the middle. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In pick 16 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Carson Beck
Carson Beck at the 33rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They did well to land Jalon Kilgore in No. 103, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Steal is underselling it; Tacario Davis at the 140th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
They talked themselves into Vincent Anthony Jr. at the 179th pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dalton Johnson
Dalton Johnson at the 228th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick242 Rnd7 Khordae Sydnor
A wild overpay on Khordae Sydnor in slot 242, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
