Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Jets: B.

The pick that carries the class is Drew Allar, a quarterback the Jets were happy to stop sliding in the 175th overall pick. Patience, rewarded. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Spears-Jennings to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick No. 16 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They paid sticker price for Sonny Styles in Round 2, Pick 1, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick44 Rnd2 Romello Height
The board had cheaper options than Romello Height at No. 44, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell is a better player than pick 103 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Value with a capital V on Drew Allar in slot 175, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd5 Albert Regis
Albert Regis at slot 178 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels slipping to the 194th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in the 205th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212 Rnd6 Bud Clark
No drama and no debate, Bud Clark went about where he belonged in pick 212. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
They went early on Raylen Wilson in Round 7, Pick 2, and the value did not follow. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in No. 240 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
