Draft Grade — Jets
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a D+ weekend for the Jets.

The Jets clearly saw something nobody else did in Tyler Batty, taking him 105 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

The Mondon Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick 3 they get a franchise quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick8 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 8th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at pick No. 34 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 40th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick66 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Zy Alexander at slot 66, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in Round 3, Pick 6 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
The board had Dylan Fairchild higher than slot 72, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They took Jake Majors at par in No. 95, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jack Bech
They did well to land Jack Bech in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Taking Malachi Moore in the 109th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick 112 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 139 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at the 141st pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 Evan Stewart
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Evan Stewart in the 145th pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick 161 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick178 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to pick No. 178, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick184 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tonka Hemingway in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Value said wait; Tyler Batty in No. 208 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 DJ Uiagalelei
DJ Uiagalelei at the 212th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd7 Antonio Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Antonio Williams a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd7 PJ Williams
A big swing on PJ Williams at slot 218, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in pick 224 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
