Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jets: B.

Some picks age like wine; CJ West at No. 162 will need to, sitting 25 spots clear of his grade.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They banked enough surplus on Fannin Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 7 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Josh Conerly Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They will replay Harold Fannin Jr. at the 73rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tai Felton
They let Tai Felton come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
They read the board right and Jonas Sanker was the payoff at pick No. 145. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 CJ West
A real head-scratcher, CJ West in No. 162 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A tidy little value on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
No edge and no loss on R.J. Mickens in No. 207; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
