Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA
Grand theft in pick No. 92: the Jets steal Mbow and grade out a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Marcus Mbow, No. 92, roughly 40 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

Milroe has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Tank Dell gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, and a steal at that.
Pick42 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in No. 42, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Value said wait; Jalen Milroe in pick No. 58 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Taking Marcus Mbow in pick 92 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A reach on Joshua Farmer in the 109th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cody Simon
A straight-up fair deal on Cody Simon at slot 127, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick146 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the 157th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Circle this one: Nohl Williams at the 209th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
