Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Jets for Hurst: A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ted Hurst at the Round 6 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 12th pick they get a green-dot type in the middle. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
They did well to land Carnell Tate in slot 16, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 20 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. More want than need.
Pick33 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the 33rd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on A.J. Haulcy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at pick 103 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
They robbed the room for Sam Hecht here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at No. 140 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd5 Taylen Green
They took Taylen Green at par in No. 179, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson at Round 6, Pick 13 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at slot 208 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd7 Josh Moten
A quiet steal in the 218th overall pick: Josh Moten for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall in pick 242 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
