Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jets won the night they stopped Price from sliding. Grade: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jets watched Jadarian Price slide 33 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Wagner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese is a better player than pick 16 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick28 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In slot 28 they get an enforcer at safety. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
They paid sticker price for Brandon Cisse in the 33rd pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
No edge and no loss on Christen Miller in pick No. 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in No. 103 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd4 Aamil Wagner
A big swing on Aamil Wagner at the 140th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Value with a capital V on Ar'maj Reed-Adams in Round 5, Pick 39, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Zane Durant
Zane Durant slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
They read the board right and Oscar Delp was the payoff at pick No. 208. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick218 Rnd7 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott in slot 218 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
