Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets let Fannin Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Harold Fannin Jr. at the Round 3 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 7th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
No drama and no debate, T.J. Sanders went about where he belonged in slot 42. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
The board fumbled Harold Fannin Jr. all the way to pick 92, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A clean, defensible pick in No. 109 with a little surplus value in Malachi Moore. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They paid sticker price for Logan Brown in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kobe King
Circle this one: Kobe King at pick No. 157 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
The board had Cobee Bryant higher than Round 6, Pick 10, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Taking Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 209th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
