Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets let Simpson fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice cornerback is still a hole. The Jets never got to the one that mattered most.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Simpson. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 2 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In pick 16 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Ty Simpson
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Ty Simpson in Round 2, Pick 1, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44 Rnd2 KC Concepcion
KC Concepcion slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
