Grading the Jets' draft

New York Jets
Grade: B
Best Pick: OT Armand Membou, No. 7 Overall
What We Liked: The Jets hit home runs with their first three selections. Membou can bring his athleticism to an offensive line that really needed only one more piece and create a rushing powerhouse for quarterback Justin Fields and running back Breece Hall. Tight end Mason Taylor (No. 42) sets Fields up with a quick dump-off weapon and with with good run-after-catch ability. Cornerback Azareye'h Thomas (No. 73) does great work in both zone and man and should quickly become part of the rotation. It's now up to the free agent class to make it work.
Not Sure About: The day three selections were nothing to write home about. Wide receiver Arian Smith (No. 110) is very fast, but when it's not game-breaking and it's your main trait, it's hard to be too impressed. Safety Malachi Moore is also a good athlete, but he doesn't quite have the mental finesse to keep pass-catchers in his view consistently. Linebacker Francisco Mauigoa (No. 162) is good, but where will he play?
