The Jets added two presumptive starters in Round 1, drafting Zach Wilson and trading up for Alijah Vera-Tucker. They have a prime opportunity to add a third 2021 first-stringer to this mix at No. 34 overall.
However, significant interest has developed for that selection, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport (on Twitter). The Jets will be tempted to move down and accumulate additional draft choices, a prospect the team is considering, per ESPN.com’s Rich Cimini (on Twitter).
The Jaguars hold the No. 33 pick and are not expected to trade out of that position, Rapoport adds, giving the Jets some additional leverage at 34. The Jets have two third-round picks — Nos. 66 and 86, the latter choice coming in last year’s Jamal Adams trade — and certainly have needs additional selections would help them address.
Teams at the top of Round 2 have the luxury of taking calls to move down, with other franchises interested in players who unexpectedly were not chosen in Round 1. Players like linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, safety Trevon Moehrig and wide receiver Elijah Moore each ranked in Scouts Inc.’s top 25 players; Owusu-Koramoah resided as a top-15 player going into the draft. They figure to be off the board early tonight, and the Jets may opt to benefit from other teams’ interest.
They traded their third rounders
Yes, they no longer have those and could be tempted to acquire picks back, but I think Owusu-Koramoah is exactly the kind of player that would fit Saleh’s defensive scheme. If the Jaguars take him, I think the Jets will trade down. If the Jaguars don’t, Jets will take him.
Yeah that’s a huge error by this writer. Not a mistake that can happen.
Yeah jets traded both those 3rd rd picks moving up for AVT.
Jets should trade back, there will be a lot of demand w/ teams wanting to pick their guy they thought wouldn’t be there after round 1. If they can move back to the 45-50 ish range and pick up a 3rd that would be a nice win.
that’s too far 40 max drop You need to get a starter in the 2nd round The 34 is valuable
