Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets bet the future on Sanders. The board says B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jets watched Devin Neal slide 76 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Robinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
No drama and no debate, Shedeur Sanders went about where he belonged in No. 7. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
A conviction pick on Elic Ayomanor at slot 42 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 92nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 8 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick146 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
They will replay Darius Alexander at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at No. 157 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson at pick 188 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in slot 209 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
