Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Jets spent real capital to be 45 picks early on Cody Simon, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wilson. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 10 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in pick 72 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 112 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Value with a capital V on Cedric Gray in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
No drama and no debate, Jordan Jefferson went about where he belonged in the 187th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
A straight-up fair deal on Ryan Watts at No. 226, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Value said wait; Xavier Thomas in the 253rd overall pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Cody Simon
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cody Simon well ahead of where he belonged. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
They robbed the room for Kenny Logan Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
