The 2024 NFL Draft was a big one for the Jets.
New York added key pieces to the offensive line, wide receiver room, running back room and secondary. The Jets added rookies to the team after the conclusion of the draft, though, when the team signed 10 undrafted free agents and invited two players to their rookie camps.
When compared with the 2024 NFL Draft consensus big board (compiled by Arif Hasan of “Wide Left”), the Jets have 5,494 points of value with their UDFA additions. Hasan explained his method for valuation, but it’s effectively assigning a number to each prospect for where they and on the big board. So Marvin Harrison Jr., who ranked No. 1, earned 999 points of value.

Where does Jets UDFA class rank on 2024 NFL Draft consensus board?
Compared with the rest of the NFL, the Jets ranked 14th. New York also had two players on the board’s top-300 list, meaning they very well could have been drafted.
However, the Jets’ top five UDFAs ranked fifth among the rest of the NFL’s top five. The only teams with better value were the Chiefs, Vikings, Seahawks and Eagles.
