NEW YORK JETS
The back seven got meaner this offseason — the safety import alone moved that room into the top third, and the linebackers were already honest. The rest is a 41-41 offense-defense file with a history column reading 4, which my ring-counter considers a rounding error. The receiver and the back are both 7s: real, not rabid. This is what a team grades like when nobody's embarrassing and nobody's terrifying.
The Four Factors
Each factor is normalized 0–100 across the league — 100 is first, 0 is dead last — then weighted into the 32.1. Weights are the same for all 32 teams: defense 35, offense 30, history 20, coaching 15.
DEFENSE
× 35%Bottom third. The unit grades below name the rooms responsible.
OFFENSE
× 30%Bottom third. The blind grades below explain it: honest players, house-pet numbers.
HISTORY
× 20%Bottom third. January depth is the only thing the table pays for, and the table barely opened its wallet.
COACHING
× 15%Mid-pack. The chart shows convention with occasional courage.
The Unit Room
The raw grades behind the factors — my dawg read on each unit group, 1 to 10, with its weight inside the defense factor and where it ranks among the 32. Defense is graded by unit group this season, not player-by-player — per-player cap-hit weighting arrives when the final 2026 cap tables settle. Said loudly on the main board, said loudly here.
The Roster Sheet
Every Jet on the frozen ADP board — the market's price next to my dawg read. The two numbers were never allowed to meet: I scored the player blind, then ADP told me how much of the offense rides on him. That firewall is the whole method. Every name links to that player's dawg file; the PROP FILE chip goes to his page in the prop room. Anyone rated after the board froze sits at the bottom as UNPRICED — same blind grade, no market number.
| ADP | PLAYER | POS | DAWG |

| 162.5 | Kenyon Sadiq | TE | 6.0 / 10 |

Geno Smith (9.0/10) is the alpha grade on this sheet.
Where the Paper Rides
The season-long ledger lives on the main board and grades itself all year. Here is the Jets' part in it, breed against breed.
JETS VS THE LADDER
| OPPONENT'S BREED | ROTTWEILER | GOLDEN RETR. | GREYHOUND | COCKER SPAN. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| THE PLAY | 3 UNITS · OPPONENT | 2 UNITS · OPPONENT | 1 UNIT · OPPONENT | NO PLAY |
The arithmetic is unkind: whenever the Jets meet a bigger breed, the paper is on the other side — one, two, or three units by the size of the gap. Spaniel-on-Spaniel, nobody plays. The rating is locked; if this team has more fight than I graded, the ledger will be the first to admit it. I'll be the second.
