This is subjective and is only my opinion. But in the last 4 years, not only has the Jets not have many picks in the top rounds, they've also missed. I graded this year's picks on the conservative side. For example, Chandler Jones could be a stud but he has slowed down a bit. All 3 other AFCE franchises are on a more steeper upward slope than the Jets imo.

Buffalo and New England have at least 1 above average player in each draft. However Buffalo's problem is the QB and coaching. This is not the whole picture. For example there are many lower round draft picks and free agent signings that turn out well. But you almost always want to get the impact player in the 1st 2 rounds.
