Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Bryant should have been long gone. The Jets pounced, and earned a B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Cobee Bryant slide, and the Jets were the ones holding the card at the 209th pick. Highway robbery. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a three-down second-level presence. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach the 42nd pick and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Nice patience on Malaki Starks, who had no business lasting to No. 44. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
No drama and no debate, Jonah Savaiinaea went about where he belonged in slot 49. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They took Azareye'h Thomas at par in pick 58, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Bond in pick No. 73, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A straight-up fair deal on Hollin Pierce at the 109th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They read the board right and Jordan Phillips was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
They will replay Shemar Turner at slot 146 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick No. 157 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value with a capital V on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 188th pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 31 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
