Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Jets: B-.

The war room fell hard for Phil Jurkovec, and it showed at the 256th overall pick: 27 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. The Wease pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 8th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Nothing to complain about; Byron Murphy II went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalen McMillan a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Theo Wease
A quiet steal in the 145th pick: Theo Wease for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 186 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick229 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
They paid a round early for Joshua Gray in No. 229, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
A reach for Kenny Logan Jr. in Round 7, Pick 35; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
Phil Jurkovec at the 256th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
