Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets won the night they stopped Shough from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Jets did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tyler Shough fell into Round 6, Pick 31. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Mickens has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 7th pick they get a red-zone target to build around, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They liked Marcus Mbow enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 42. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Nothing to complain about; Jayden Higgins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They let Darius Alexander come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in Round 5, Pick 7 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 R.J. Mickens
They reached a country mile for R.J. Mickens at No. 162, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 186th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in slot 207 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
