Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Burke should have been long gone. The Jets pounced, and earned a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Denzel Burke got past him. The Jets do not have to explain a thing at the 145th pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will need Conner to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 7th pick they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jihaad Campbell. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
They read the board right and Jalen Royals was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A reasonable price with a little left over, Lathan Ransom in slot 110. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 145th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in Round 5, Pick 24 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in No. 186 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Nice patience on Karene Reid, who had no business lasting to pick No. 207. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
