Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Jets fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The Jets bet big and early on Adam Randall, 34 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. With edge rusher and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They banked enough surplus on Campbell to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 16th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 28th overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sonny Styles at linebacker with edge rusher and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at pick No. 44 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing A.J. Haulcy in No. 59. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane in slot 103 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at No. 140 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick179 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
A wild overpay on Pat Coogan in pick 179, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
They read the board right and DJ Campbell was the payoff at the 194th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
No edge and no loss on Toriano Pride Jr. in pick No. 208; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd7 Josh Moten
They let Josh Moten come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Adam Randall
A real head-scratcher, Adam Randall in the 242nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
