Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Jets.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Jets started one anyway for Jordan Travis, 44 picks ahead of schedule.

Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 26 they get a cornerstone up front, and a steal at that.
Pick57 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at pick 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
They paid sticker price for Jaylen Wright in No. 72, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 89th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Travis well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick No. 114 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in pick No. 187 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick253 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They will replay Sheridan Jones at No. 253 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jalen Green
Jalen Green at Round 7, Pick 34 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
They paid a round early for Solomon Byrd in the 257th pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
