It's clear the Jets need a quarterback. But Mike Mayock has a simple solution if Marcus Mariota isn't available when the Jets are on the clock at No. 6 on draft night April 30.
"If there's not a quarterback available or if they decide one of those two quarterbacks doesn't make sense for them, I think they've got to get the No. 1 corner in the draft," Mayock, the NFL Network's lead draft analyst, said Monday during a media conference call.
"To me, whether they think it's [Michigan State's Trae] Waynes, whether they're OK with the kid from Washington, [Marcus] Peters, Jalen Collins [of LSU]. You've got to weigh that a little bit against an edge guy like Dante Fowler . But from my perspective, you've got to get a difference maker and a great football player at No. 6."
The Jets thought they were getting a difference maker in 2013 when they drafted Alabama cornerback Dee Milliner ninth overall. But he's largely been a disappointment with his inconsistent play and propensity for being injured. Milliner has played in only 16 games in his first two seasons
The Jets tried to add depth to their secondary last year by selecting cornerback Dexter McDougle in the third round. But he never made it to Week 1, tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during training camp.
But even with the prospect of a healthy Milliner and McDougle returning -- and the possibility of snagging a veteran free-agent (former Jet Antonio Cromartie is a possibility) -- Mayock still thinks the Jets are better off drafting a cornerback if the quarterback options don't excite them.
