We have moved from mock draft season to draft grade season. It’s hard to say which one is dumber.
If you want to know my grade for the 2026 Jets draft, ask me in three years.
That is the reality of this. No one knows if these picks will work out. I don’t. ESPN doesn’t. Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn don’t. No one. If you want proof, look at some old grades. You can find plenty of “A” grades for the 2021 Jets draft when they took Zach Wilson at No. 2 overall. How did that work out?
What I do grade on is logic and process. Do the picks make sense for the Jets? There is no way to know if the players will fulfill their potential, but we can ask whether the selections make sense. Do any of the picks feel like a reach? Did they take character risks?
