Draft Grade — Jets
Overall F
ValueC NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
A weekend the Jets spent ahead of the board, for worse: F.

The war room fell hard for Tony Grimes, and it showed at the 242nd pick: 63 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The warnings were there, and the F is the bill.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Pride Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
A straight-up fair deal on Francis Mauigoa at Round 1, Pick 2, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick16 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
Good price on Makai Lemon in No. 16, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick26 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
They reached into another round for Jake Slaughter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nicholas Singleton
They reached a country mile for Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 44, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries in the 103rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick140 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
No edge and no loss on Beau Stephens in pick 140; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein at Round 5, Pick 39 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick194 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at the 194th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick208 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
A big swing on Bryce Foster at slot 208, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Toriano Pride Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Toriano Pride Jr. at pick No. 218. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tony Grimes in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
