Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jets: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Dominic Zvada at pick No. 242 is 62 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. With quarterback, cornerback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Styles. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 2nd pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. More want than need.
Pick16 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate in pick 16 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick33 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sonny Styles at linebacker with quarterback, cornerback and other spots open.
Pick44 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
They took A.J. Haulcy at par in No. 44, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
Value with a capital V on Ja'Kobi Lane in slot 103, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
They talked themselves into DJ Campbell at the 140th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein is a better player than the 179th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick228 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at Round 7, Pick 12 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Value said wait; Dominic Zvada in pick No. 242 says they were not listening. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
