Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Jets got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

The Jets torched the value chart for Karson Sharar, taking him 91 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C- in the wash.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Hill Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and safety still on the board.

That Roush pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 2nd overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value.
Pick16 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 16 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A surprising call. With edge rusher and safety still to address, they spent slot 33 on Anthony Hill Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Omar Cooper Jr. at Round 2, Pick 12, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Sam Roush
A slide stopped in the 97th pick, with Sam Roush worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalon Kilgore a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
They reached a country mile for Zxavian Harris at pick 179, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
A straight-up fair deal on Pat Coogan at the 194th pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Josh Moten
They took Josh Moten at par in the 208th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cole Payton this early at Round 7, Pick 2. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick242 Rnd7 Karson Sharar
Karson Sharar at No. 242 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
