Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Jets.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Jets took Dayon Hayes at the 209th overall pick, roughly 97 spots before his name belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Hairston pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 25 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
No edge and no loss on Jonah Savaiinaea in Round 2, Pick 10; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick 58 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Nice patience on Maxwell Hairston, who had no business lasting to the 89th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Good price on Donovan Jackson in No. 92, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They did well to land Kevin Winston Jr. in the 109th pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Fair-plus on Oronde Gadsden II, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
No drama and no debate, Cobee Bryant went about where he belonged in pick No. 188. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Dayon Hayes
They talked themselves into Dayon Hayes at the 209th pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
