Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Jets got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Richard Jibunor, 108 picks early at the 253rd pick.

That Baker pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
You do not let a wide receiver like Troy Franklin reach No. 55 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in pick 72 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at Round 5, Pick 8 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick156 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick No. 156 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the 187th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick 226 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Evan Anderson this early at Round 7, Pick 8. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
A wild overpay on Richard Jibunor in No. 253, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Amari Gainer
Amari Gainer at the 254th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257 Rnd7 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 257th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
