Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Jets to a C-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Jets, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Delp reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the 19th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Booker in pick No. 51. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at No. 83 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dasan McCullough
Good price on Dasan McCullough in slot 93, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
Nothing to complain about; Bear Alexander went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
They went early on Oscar Delp in the 115th pick, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147 Rnd5 Dane Key
Dane Key at Round 5, Pick 19 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Truss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jalon Daniels
No edge and no loss on Jalon Daniels in slot 192; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A straight-up fair deal on J.J. Weaver at Round 7, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
