Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
The Jets won the night they stopped Ewers from sliding. Grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Quinn Ewers slide, and the Jets were the ones holding the card at the Round 5 slot. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 17th overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer in pick 42 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 9 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A tidy little value on Isaiah Bond in No. 81, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A safety of that caliber at slot 110 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Quinn Ewers
Somehow Quinn Ewers was still sitting there in the 145th pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
They will replay Anthony Belton at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jack Kiser at pick No. 186 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in No. 207 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
