Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
Grand theft in No. 162: the Jets steal Bowman Jr. and grade out a A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Billy Bowman Jr. got past him. The Jets do not have to explain a thing at pick 162.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Marshall Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Maliek Collins pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slipping to Round 2, Pick 1 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick42 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks is a better player than the 42nd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
No drama and no debate, Elijah Arroyo went about where he belonged in the 73rd overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick 104 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Steal is underselling it; Deone Walker at No. 110 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
You do not let a quarterback like Kyle McCord reach pick No. 145 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at slot 162 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 186 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in No. 207 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
