With their only fifth round pick the Jets drafted inside linebacker, Jeremiah George, from Iowa State. George is 5’11 1/4″, 234 lbs, and ran an average (for linebackers) 40 of 4.91. He has 33 1/4″ arm length, put up an impressive 28 reps in the bench (worst for linebackers was 18, 30 was the most),…
The Jets have a busy day today with nine total picks on the day. They started off with three fourth round picks where they finally drafted a receiver and chased that pick down with a second receiver and a guard to close out the round for them. The first receiver they took was Jalen Saunders…
With their third round pick the Jets selected cornerback Dexter McDougle from Maryland. McDougle is a fast, (4.49 40), potential play-making/ballhawking corner, but missed a large chunk of playing time in college due to a variety of injuries. McDougle suffered a season-ending shoulder injury last year and broke his collarbone in a scooter accident in…
After going defense in the first round, again, the Jets finally decided it was time to draft a weapon for their quarterback(s) and that’s exactly what they got with Jace Amaro. Amaro is much more of a wide receiver than a tight end, he spent the heavy majority of his time lined up as a…
The Jets hold the 17th pick in round two and they will certainly have an interesting assortment of players to choose from, including plenty of receivers and tight ends for you fans starving for offensive players.

Assuming the Jets don’t trade up or trade down there are four players I think the Jets are targeting, hoping will fall to 18. Because I’m only guessing at what the Jets board will look like and how the board will fall I have a three-way tie for who I think the Jets covet the…
Finally draft day is here, just under eight more hours of speculation and smokescreens left. Speaking of speculation and smokescreens, according to multiple reports the Jets are considering trading up in the first round with the assumption being the target is LSU wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. I know many of you are screaming ‘smokescreen’…
This article got delayed for a few reasons, but only one reason as it relates to this article. Throughout the college season I had Michigan State’s Darqueze Dennard and Virginia Tech’s Kyle Fuller as my number one and two ranked corners and I gave Dennard the edge simply because of how physical he is. Fuller…
For part two of this draft series we’ll focus on possible tight end options for the Jets in the first round. You can find part one of the series, on receivers, here. Originally I planned to group the tight ends and receivers together, but the receiver class is too deep to not have it’s own…
