The Jets get to formally interview 60 of the more than 300 players scheduled to participate in the combine for 15 minutes. But they'll also talk to a number of prospects informally. Here is a list of players confirmed for talks with the Jets. It will be updated throughout the week as more names are added. Credit to NFL.com and to NFL Draft Scout for scotuing details on each player.
• Jameis Winston, Florida State, QB
Winston could be the top pick overall.
• Marcus Mariota, Oregon, QB
Mariota, like Winston, is the only quarterback projected to go in the first round. He could also be a trade chip.
• Kenny Bell, Nebraska, WR
The 6-foot-1, 197-pound Bell is a projected late-round pick. He also has an outstanding Afro.
• Devin Funchess, Michigan, WR
Funchess is big (6-4, 232) and can be dangerous after the catch, but drops are an issue. Projected first or second rounder.
• Keith Mumphrey, Michigan State, WR
Mumphrey is considered a hard worker, but he sometimes struggles to get open.
• Brandon Bridge, South Alabama, QB
The Ontario, Canada, native is a late-round prospect. He said he met with Jets quarterbacks coach Kevin Patullo on Wednesday night.
• Tre McBridge, William & Mary, WR
Has drawn comparisons to the Patriots' Brandon LaFell, but also said to lack acceleration.
• Brandon Scherff, Iowa, OL
A likely top 10 pick capable of playing inside and outside.
• Cedric Ogbuehi, Texas A&M, OT
CBSSports.com's NFL Draft scout has a third-round grade on him.
• Michael Burton, Rutgers, FB
Per NFL.com, Burton lacks the size and blocking ability to be a full-time fullback, but he can catch passes and could have value as a special teamer.
• Bud Dupree, Kentucky, OLB
One of the top edge rushers in the draft. Projected first rounder.
• Jamison Crowder, Duke, WR
Crowder clocked an (unofficial) time of 4.56 in the 40. Projected second rounder.
• Leon Orr, Florida, DT
Orr once left the team after being told he wouldn't start a game. Considered an athletic interior D-lineman who could go in the late rounds.
• Marcus Peters, Washington, CB
Projected first- or second-rounder who plays with physicality but was kicked off the team at Washington after frequently butting heads with coaches.
• Landon Collins, Alabama, SS
The top safety prospect in the draft, Collins is a possible top 10 pick.
• Shaq Thompson, Washington, OLB
Thompson is considered to be one of the top three outside linebackers in the draft.
• Shane Ray, Missouri, DE
