Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Jets.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with R.J. Mickens at pick No. 162, a reach of 50 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They banked enough surplus on Nolen to cover a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 7 they get a mismatch in the passing game, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to Round 2, Pick 10, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tre Harris
A tidy bit of business in pick 73, where Tre Harris graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
They liked Dillon Gabriel enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 145 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 R.J. Mickens
They reached into another round for R.J. Mickens, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at Round 6, Pick 10 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at pick 207 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
