We're three weeks away from the NFL draft. Time to mock. In our ultimate mock draft final 12 months, we had 4 of the Jets picks appropriate — Zach Wilson, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Elijah Moore and Michael Carter (the operating again). We’ll see if we are able to get that shut once more. That is our first crack on the Jets’ draft. We’ll be again every week to strive once more main as much as the draft on April 28.
We used the Professional Soccer Focus mock draft simulator to assist us out and here's what we got here up with for the Jets’ 2022 draft:
Spherical 1 (No. 4 general) — Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati
I believe Robert Saleh would like to take an edge rusher right here, however Kavon Thibodeaux comes with a whole lot of questions and Travon Walker’s lack of manufacturing in school is frightening. Sauce Gardner is a lock-down nook and offers the protection a pleasant tandem with D.J. Reed.
Spherical 1 (No. 10 general) — George Karlaftis, DE/OLB, Purdue
Broad receiver is tempting right here, however there are going to be receivers accessible within the second spherical who can have an effect. Karlaftis is the most effective edge rusher accessible at this level and can give the Jets a complement to Carl Lawson on the opposite facet. Saleh’s protection is all about pressuring the quarterback. Karlaftis can do this.
Spherical 2 (No. 35 general) — Skyy Moore, WR, Western Michigan
The Jets have to preserve including at vast receiver. It could not be a shock if Joe Douglas pulls off a commerce for a confirmed receiver earlier than or through the draft. If he doesn’t, count on him to draft one. Moore was extremely productive in school. He had 95 catches fro 1,292 yards and 10 touchdowns final 12 months for Western Michigan.
Spherical 2 (No. 38 general) — Leo Chenal, LB, Wisconsin
Linebacker is an underrated want for the Jets. After C.J. Mosley, they don't have a whole lot of confirmed gamers. Chenal may add to the depth on the place and develop into a starter in some unspecified time in the future. He led the nation’s top-rated protection final 12 months. He had 18.5 tackles for loss, eight sacks, 115 tackles and two pressured fumbles in 11 video games. He was named second-team All-American and was the Linebacker of the Yr within the Massive 10.
Spherical 3 (No. 69 general) — Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State
The Jets have a strong beginning offensive line, however they should deal with depth. Lucas is a 6-foot-6 former basketball participant who can again up George Fant and Mekhi Becton.
Spherical 4 (No. 111 general) — Dohnovan West, C, Arizona State
Douglas goes offensive line on back-to-back picks. West was a three-year starter for the Solar Devils and may again up Connor McGovern for a 12 months then presumably develop into a starter in Yr 2.
Spherical 4 (No. 117 general) — Matthew Butler, DL, Tennessee
The Jets misplaced Folorunso Fatukasi in free company and now they should discover somebody to develop on the place like they developed Fatukasi. Butler had 47 tackles, 8.5 for loss and 5 sacks final 12 months for the Volunteers. Saleh loves defensive linemen and the Jets want so as to add on the place.
Spherical 5 (No. 146 general) — ZaQuandre White, HB, South Carolina
White started his profession at Florida State and frolicked at outdoors linebacker in addition to operating again. He could be an instantaneous particular groups contributor then potential piece of the operating again rotation.
Spherical 5 (No. 163 general) — Sterling Weatherford, S, Miami (Ohio)
The Jets received to see Weatherford up shut on the Senior Bowl, the place he impressed. The 6-foot-3 Weatherford may slide right into a linebacker position as a substitute of taking part in security, because the Jets did final 12 months with Jamien Sherwood and Hamsah Nasirildeen.
