Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureC
The Jets did enough to get by: C+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Jets took Joe Milton III at pick No. 147, roughly 28 spots before his name belonged.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

So much rides on Taliese Fuaga that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 20th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 52nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They reached into another round for McKinnley Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Ainias Smith a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They jumped the gun on Josh Proctor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for J.C. Davis. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
A straight-up fair deal on Trevor Keegan at No. 255, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson in Round 7, Pick 36 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
