Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C-
ValueC NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Jets this weekend: C-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Dont'e Thornton Jr., 38 picks early at pick No. 145. It washes out to a C-, no better and no worse.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at Round 2, Pick 10 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in No. 73 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A conviction pick on Jeffrey Bassa at slot 110 that the board grades a round light. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jonas Sanker
They talked themselves into Jonas Sanker at pick 113, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd4 Logan Brown
They took Logan Brown at par in pick No. 138, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They paid a round early for Jonah Monheim in slot 162, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
Value said wait; R.J. Mickens in pick No. 186 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Desmond Watson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tonka Hemingway in the 227th overall pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
