Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jets robbed the room for Restrepo. Final grade: A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Xavier Restrepo, Round 6, Pick 10, roughly 116 picks past where he belonged. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, with Travis Hunter leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 11 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
Taking Quinn Ewers in slot 42 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Steal is underselling it; Colston Loveland at No. 74 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in the 75th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
They barely believed it either: Ajani Cornelius still on the board at the Round 4 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Kaimon Rucker
They will replay Kaimon Rucker at the 138th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Circle this one: Sebastian Castro at Round 5, Pick 20 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd6 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in pick 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at the 186th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
You do not let a linebacker like Jack Kiser reach pick No. 203 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
