UntouchableCrew Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2022/insider/story/_/id/33227214/nfl-mock-draft-2022-jordan-reid-new-two-round-predictions-top-64-picks-featuring-six-quarterbacks-senior-bowl-risers Two round mock from Jordan Reid at ESPN. 4. New York Jets Ikem Ekwonu, OT, NC State General manager Joe Douglas values the trenches, and the Jets need to protect their investment in quarterback Zach Wilson. Ekwonu is a physical tone-setter who could play either guard or tackle. Coach Robert Saleh has already said that 2020 first-round pick Mekhi Becton will have to "come in and reassert himself into the starting lineup," with George Fant competing with him to play left tackle. Ekwonu would make this team better and give it an insurance policy at either tackle spot in case Becton is unable to return to form following knee surgery. Biggest needs: CB, EDGE, WR 10. New York Jets (via SEA) Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State With another top-10 pick, the Jets could add a playmaker for Zach Wilson and form a Wilson-to-Wilson connection. The former Buckeye stands as my top-ranked wideout in this class, and he reminds me of Stefon Diggs as a prospect. At 6-foot and 188 pounds, Wilson has strong hands and unique body control and could give the team a go-to target who pairs well with Elijah Moore and Corey Davis. Biggest needs: CB, EDGE, WR 35. New York Jets Myjai Sanders, EDGE, Cincinnati The Jets' defense was historically bad in multiple categories last season, and it could use depth at every position. Getting back Carl Lawson from injury could be a big addition to its pass rush, but Sanders is the exact type of weakside defensive end who could thrive in Robert Saleh's defense. Sanders' ability to consistently generate pressure as well as being an underrated run defender could give the franchise a boost. The Jets haven't had a player record a double-digit sack season since Muhammad Wilkerson in 2015. Biggest needs: CB, EDGE, WR 38. New York Jets (via CAR) Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State With their fourth pick in the top 38, the Jets add another target for Zach Wilson in McBride, who can be a security blanket in the passing game. He has strong hands and can run any route; he's one of the best yards-after-catch tight ends in this class. At 6-foot-3, 250 pounds, McBride is also a serviceable blocker who can be an asset in the run game when lined up in attached sets. He could flex out wide, though, creating a mismatch for Wilson to target. In this scenario, New York ends up with a two pass-catchers, a stellar offensive lineman and an edge rusher with upside. Biggest needs: CB, EDGE, WR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claymation Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Funny that you would say that, because as of today I prefer London as well. Not that I dislike Wilson, I love him, but London gives the Jets a big WR that can win contested catches consistently. Sanders is really being overlooked by many.

JohnnyLV Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Would love the draft. Best mock I have seen but not because he picked players I like but because he really looked at the Jets, and what JD and the coaches have said and made a reasoned set of pics that align super well with what could likely be what the Jets do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think JD is taking an OL at 4. He has picked OL in first round 2 years in a row and traded down last year. There’s talent there now it’s time to draft edge or WR in first.

I know stats aren’t everything but just looking at those, is this guy a top 10 pick? Anyone know a little about him? Drafttek also has us taking Wilson at 10 as well.

BigRy56 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 This would be a great draft. The Jets would have a top 10 OL and an improved receiver corp, especially assuming this includes a guy like Njoku in free agency. Free agency would have to fill in the gap at S and LB and high end pass rusher. Which shouldn’t be hard to do with the money the Jets have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see Douglas taking Garret Wilson at #10. I would think he sticks in the trenches and goes EDGE or doubles down on OLINE. If we go Ekwanu at #4, I'm thinking a trade out at #10 if possible, then best available EDGE, OL Linderbaum/Penning or if we go Wr either Burks/London/Watson. If we cant trade out at #10 then I'm thinking Linderbaum. If McBride is available at #35 Im running to the podium and if we dont go EDGE in the 1st (or maybe even if we do) Im thinking Arnold Ebeketie at #38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry McCockinner Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I think Ekwonu is projected to play G or T so he could play RG immediately improving that position and give us flexibility/depth at tackle. JD does seem to like those versatile o-linemen so seems to fit. I'm not really excited a bout taking a T in the first round for reasons already mentioned, but if he can be a plus RG that would be a big deal. Taking a G at #4 seems kind of cray but he's more than a G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claymation Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Someone I would consider at 38 is Zion Johnson, especially if the Jets went edge with their #4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
