Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Jets.

The Jets put a flag in the ground for Carson Beck, 68 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

However the rest shakes out, Wheatley at that price is a win they earned. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Rueben Bain Jr. at the 2nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Value with a capital V on Sonny Styles in pick No. 33, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick44 Rnd2 Carson Beck
Carson Beck at pick 44 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at the 103rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun is a better player than No. 140 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
