Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Jets bet the future on Dart. The board says B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Jets took Jaxson Dart a full 105 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Skattebo at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Whatever Jaxson Dart becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
They reached into another round for Jaxson Dart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 44 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at pick 92 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick108 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at No. 108 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in pick No. 144 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They reached a country mile for Seth McLaughlin at No. 168, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick184 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 6, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the 206th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
