Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Jets get a C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: CJ West, 40 picks early at the 145th overall pick. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Harris at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 11 they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
A tidy little value on Josh Conerly Jr. in pick 42, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They let Tre Harris come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 100. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at slot 138 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 CJ West
Value said wait; CJ West in Round 5, Pick 7 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They paid up for Jonah Monheim at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen McLeod this early at Round 6, Pick 10. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
No drama and no debate, R.J. Mickens went about where he belonged in No. 207. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick No. 227 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
