Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jets: B.

The Jets did not so much draft George Gumbs Jr. as overpay for him, 51 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The Harvey value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Rodriguez pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots still on the board. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In pick 2 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
Nothing to complain about; Jordyn Tyson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick33 Rnd2 CJ Allen
No edge and no loss on CJ Allen in the 33rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick44 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
The board had cheaper options than Akheem Mesidor at No. 44, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jacob Rodriguez adds a linebacker and leaves interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick178 Rnd5 Taylen Green
No drama and no debate, Taylen Green went about where he belonged in slot 178. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Bud Clark
They took Bud Clark at par in pick 206, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218 Rnd7 George Gumbs Jr.
A real head-scratcher, George Gumbs Jr. in Round 7, Pick 2 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick242 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey at No. 242 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
