Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Ward, and a B, for the Jets.

The Jets went off the board in a big way for Tim Smith, 148 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The King value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Cam Ward
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Ward at the 7th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They took Jack Bech at par in No. 92, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick No. 108 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tim Smith
Value said wait; Tim Smith in the 144th pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
This one needs a full-page explanation: Miles Frazier in the 184th pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kobe King
Somehow Kobe King was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
