Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Jets. For now, C+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Jets spent the 186th pick on Jackson Hawes, a name most had 68 spots down the list. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Felton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

If Tyler Warren and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

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 Josh Conerly Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 42nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Josh Conerly Jr.. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They paid up for Ozzy Trapilo at slot 73 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Value with a capital V on Tai Felton in Round 4, Pick 8, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 CJ West
They reached a country mile for CJ West at pick No. 145, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
A real head-scratcher, Jalen McLeod in No. 162 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
They talked themselves into Jackson Hawes at No. 186, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick207 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
No drama and no debate, R.J. Mickens went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 31. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
