Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 145th pick lands the Jets a B-, Bowman Jr. and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jets watched Billy Bowman Jr. slide 33 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Colston Loveland at slot 42 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Fair-plus on Jack Bech, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Phillips at No. 110 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
You do not let a safety like Billy Bowman Jr. reach Round 5, Pick 7 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick162 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown is a better player than the 162nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 186. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II slipping to the 207th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
