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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Jets would have aced it. Jackson Hawes at No. 186 is 68 spots clear of where he belonged. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Hit on Tyler Warren and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
A reach on Tyler Warren in slot 7; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They went early on Jayden Higgins in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at pick 73 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in No. 110 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ajani Cornelius. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Reed this early at pick No. 162. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at the 186th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick207 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
