Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets did enough to get by: C.

The Jets looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took KJ Jefferson at Round 2, Pick 8 regardless, 264 picks early.

On value alone, Paul Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In No. 8 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 KJ Jefferson
They talked themselves into KJ Jefferson at Round 2, Pick 8, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 JJ Pegues
They left a pile of value on the table to take JJ Pegues this early at pick No. 95. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach the 109th pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in pick 145 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Taking Mason Taylor in slot 161 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick184 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at the Round 6 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick208 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for J.C. Davis. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at the 224th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
