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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dillon Gabriel, slot 186, roughly 58 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Lambert-Smith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 7th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in Round 3, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick110 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Jackson at the 110th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at No. 145 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for KeAndre Lambert-Smith. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
They robbed the room for Dillon Gabriel here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They barely believed it either: Jack Nelson still on the board at pick No. 207. A need, and now a little less of one.
