Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Jets, and a B to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with James Williams at No. 135, a reach of 38 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

However the rest shakes out, Sainristil at that price is a win they earned. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 17 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at pick 48 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Mike Sainristil in the 72nd overall pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They paid a round early for Patrick Paul in No. 77, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They liked Johnny Wilson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
They reached a country mile for James Williams at the 135th pick, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick185 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 10 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A tidy little value on Nathaniel Watson in No. 212, a step better than break-even. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick256 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Carson Steele at pick No. 256. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257 Rnd7 Deantre Prince
No drama and no debate, Deantre Prince went about where he belonged in slot 257. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
