I like the first two picks, both were solid, not spectacular, but I think our biggest need was at CB and WR and we failed to land a stud at either position. Time will tell if the lower round guys will pan out and produce at either position. Because of this C+, B- draft.
B Stocked up the roster, created good competition at several areas. Only thing I would have liked is a better pass rushing prospect, but all things considered I feel the Jets did well.
I liked the draft a lot. I'll grade it in 2 years. Before that we just don't know. The Seahawks 2011 draft got D- and F from a lot of people and 2 years later they won the Super Bowl with people like Malcolm Smith, Richard Sherman, K.J. Wright and Byron Maxwell making big contributions.
There's no way I can grade a draft in which I have no real knowledge of over half the picks we made. I like Pryor a lot and Amaro (although his selection surprised me), and I like how we added depth and competition. I think people expect way too much out of the draft every year.
I went C I like the first two picks, felt McDougle was a reach, WRs we Drafted are underwhelming and the rest is a mix of special teams guys and backups so nothing particularly exciting there either. If McDougle doesn't end up a complete waste of a pick it could go up to a B or B+
I like that we got Trevor Reilly in the 7th, didn't think he'd be there. I wonder why he fell, I think he could be a starter in a year or two.
Overall, I gave them a B. 1. Calvin Pryor - A 2. Jace Amaro - C+ 3. Dexter McDougle - C 4. Jalen Saunders - C 4. Shaquelle Evans - B 4. Dakota Dozier - B 5. Jeremiah George - C 6. Brandon Dixon - B 6. Quincy Enunwa - F 6. IK Enempkpala - F 6. Tajh Boyd - A+ 7. Trevor Reilly - A+ Overall, an up and down draft, but other than Pryor and maybe Amaro, few impact players. Could have given them a C, but went optimistic with B.
I think his athleticism was limited by playing through an ACL injury, and he is a bit older because he spent two years in Sweden on a LDS mission. He is a pretty impactful player, I mean not a first round talent but I think he's an excellent value in the middle of the 7th.
