Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Jets for Evans: B.

Somebody in slot 209 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Jets sat still while Mitchell Evans, the No. 154 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. No fireworks, but a solid B.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 7 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
You do not let a wide receiver like Luther Burden III reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at pick 92 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 109 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Will Howard
Will Howard at the 146th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick157 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 157 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick188 Rnd6 Logan Brown
Somehow Logan Brown was still sitting there in the 188th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Taking Mitchell Evans in Round 6, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
