Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Jets bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Roman Hemby at pick 218. The Jets jumped the board by 61 and dared it to prove them wrong. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Getting Allar where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. It is not that Allen is a bad player; it is that the Jets had louder needs to answer first.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 15 they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick16 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In slot 16 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Avieon Terrell
Avieon Terrell is a better player than No. 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman to take CJ Allen, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick45 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A slide stopped in pick 45, with Dillon Thieneman worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 16 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at the 103rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sam Roush
Sam Roush at No. 116 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick175 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in pick No. 175 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
Eric O'Neill in pick 178 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kalil Alexander. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
By-the-book stuff, Trey Zuhn III at Round 6, Pick 30 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at slot 218 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada in slot 242 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
