Overall F

ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureD

Quarterback settled, Mendoza in the fold, and a F for the Jets.

The Jets lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. There is no dressing it up: a F.

Fernando Mendoza is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Anderson. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left edge rusher open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza

In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick18 Rnd1 Makai Lemon

No edge and no loss on Makai Lemon in Round 1, Pick 18; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.

Pick35 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald

Kayden McDonald at pick No. 35 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.

Pick105 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen

Kaytron Allen at the 105th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick176 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.

Nothing to complain about; Jermaine Mathews Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.

Pick178 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson

Aaron Anderson at No. 178 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.

Pick196 Rnd6 Bud Clark

Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bud Clark at slot 196 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

Pick205 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson

They did well to land Raylen Wilson in pick 205, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.

Pick212 Rnd6 Amare Campbell

By-the-book stuff, Amare Campbell at pick 212 squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.

Pick220 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci

Nolan Rucci at the 220th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.

Pick240 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie

Lawson Luckie in No. 240 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
