I think most of us would be happy with this: sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl-draft-needs-jets-143500240--nfl.html
Round 1 (6): EDGE Dante Fowler Jr., Florida - If Marcus Mariota is available, expect the Jets to select him despite Woody Johnson's recent statements. I know the team added Brandon Marshall, but I still think there is a chance a receiver is Best grade Available at No. 6. Fowler makes sense from an edge rushing standpoint, as he uses his hands and length for counter moves and does not solely rely on athleticism to win. That put him ahead of the game at Florida. Fowler can be successful from a variety of alignments.
Round 2 (37): RB Jay Ajayi, Boise State - Ajayi has a real shot of being the second running back selected. In fact, Melvin Gordon Is listed there so often that T.J. Yeldon or Ajayi could surprise in that slot. The Boise State product is a very unique player for his size. Sometimes he uses it for power and toughness, but other times he fails to fall forward and is tackled behind the line. There are flashes of explosion to eat up yards and make the most of creases and Ajayi is a comfortable receiver in space, something Chan Gailey can use.
Round 3 (70): G Tre’ Jackson, FSU - Jackson is not a mauler up front, but Evan mentioned Gailey likely looking to improve the pass protectors on their roster. I was a fan of Dakota Dozier last year, but adding Jackson certainly won’t hurt. He was sandwiched by FSU’s worst linemen for most of the 2014 season (C and RT). The question here is if Jackson’s tendency to drop his head on contact leads to a lack of anchor against power.
Round 4 (104): WR Tre McBride, William & Mary - A personal favorite, I have McBride ranked much higher than this. McBride put together some outstanding catches during his career both isolated outside and when working in the slot. He was my top prospect entering Shrine week and kept that label exiting the event.
Round 7 (223): T/TE Cameron Clear, Texas A&M - A project, Clear’s career could go the way of former Alabama TE Michael Williams, who has spent time on the practice squad while converting to OL. Teams can invest in a few projects at one time, and buzz points to plenty of interest in Clear by multiple clubs.
Round 7 (224): ILB Jeff Luc, Cincinnati - A pick reportedly involved in the Brandon Marshall deal. Luc is more of a thumper between the tackles and flashed when asked to blitz the A gaps.
