Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jets robbed the room for Beck. Final grade: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jets watched Carson Beck slide 35 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In slot 11 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Carson Beck
Carson Beck at the 42nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 75th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons in No. 86 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Rod Moore
The board fumbled Rod Moore all the way to pick 106, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in Round 4, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick118 Rnd4 Denver Harris
Fair-plus on Denver Harris, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick170 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at pick No. 170 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II at the 186th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
