Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets cashed the board's mistake on Sanker: B-.

Call it larceny. Jonas Sanker sat on the board until No. 162, and the Jets did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Fannin Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Johnson
No drama and no debate, Will Johnson went about where he belonged in Round 1, Pick 7. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick42 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Harold Fannin Jr. a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 110th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick145 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Logan Brown. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Somehow Jonas Sanker was still sitting there in the 162nd pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A reach for KeAndre Lambert-Smith in slot 186; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
They paid sticker price for R.J. Mickens in pick 207, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
