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.
