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

Nobody had Ozzy Trapilo this high, and it is not close. The Jets reached 40 spots to get him at pick 42. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Felton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Hit on Tyler Warren and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, even if it was a touch early.
Pick42 Rnd2 Ozzy Trapilo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ozzy Trapilo. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 73rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tai Felton at No. 110 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
No edge and no loss on Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at pick 162. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at slot 186 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
They paid a round early for R.J. Mickens in Round 6, Pick 31, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
