Draft Grade — Jets
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Jets let McGlothern fall and pounced. Final grade: D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Jets did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A quiet steal in the Round 1 slot: Olumuyiwa Fashanu for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
They took Jermaine Burton at par in Round 2, Pick 16, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard slipping to pick 70 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No drama and no debate, Sedrick Van Pran went about where he belonged in the 72nd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni slid further than he should have, and slot 107 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
They paid sticker price for Spencer Rattler in pick No. 113, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A tidy little value on Theo Johnson in pick No. 129, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in slot 141 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
By-the-book stuff, Trevor Keegan at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Circle this one: Tykee Smith at the 178th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dylan Laube
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Laube at pick 183 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Somehow Dwight McGlothern was still sitting there in No. 195, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at Round 6, Pick 37 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
They did well to land Tatum Bethune in the 232nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick257 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 39 is the definition of value, full stop. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
