Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Jets won the night they stopped Starks from sliding. Grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Malaki Starks, the Round 2 slot, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Jones reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Jets indulged a want in Ferguson while a need in quarterback stayed open.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 20 they get a security blanket over the middle. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They will replay Kenneth Grant at pick 42 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in the 45th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick No. 73 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Nothing to complain about; Ozzy Trapilo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went tight end with Terrance Ferguson while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick117 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
A real head-scratcher, Sai'vion Jones in Round 4, Pick 15 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, RJ Harvey at the 145th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A reasonable price with a little left over, O'Donnell Fortune in slot 162. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
No drama and no debate, Jack Kiser went about where he belonged in No. 186. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick191 Rnd6 CJ West
No edge and no loss on CJ West in the 191st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in pick 207 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
