Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA FutureA
The Jets let Pearsall fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ricky Pearsall got past him. The Jets do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Nelson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Adding Trey Smith by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 25th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They did well to land Patrick Paul in slot 57, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 71, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 89th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in pick 107, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
They talked themselves into Jack Nelson at No. 144, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at Round 7, Pick 8 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in No. 255 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at pick No. 256 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
