Look for 1of these guys to be a Jets pick ... and here's why

Anyone can pick in the first few rounds and have a 50/50 shot at getting a productive player, but the key to a good draft is the later rounds.

These are guys you might know or might not, but for in a versatile defense where players blitz and drop back every other play guys like these can be a nice fit. No these are not tweeners, but rather guys that know football and can be employed is a wide range of positions.

1st - DT/DE Earl Mitchell from Arizona, 6-3, 315, 4.78
He is much more than a big man with speed; he can play DT, DE and also played two years in college at H-Back and TE. He can plug holes, make holes and has good hands for a DL player. The speed is just a bonus. Projected anywhere from 5th to 7th round.

2nd - DE/OLB Jason Worilds of Virginia Tech, 6-1, 255, 4.55
He lacks experience at OLB and is small for a 3-4 DE, but he is a production player who has proclaimed himself a day one draft prospect. So he said, but really a 4th round pick would be considered a steal on this guy. He has the speed and determination to be productive in the NFL and is nothing like Gholston.

3rd - CB/S Chris Cook from Virginia, 6-2, 212, 4.46
He has experience starting at both positions and can tackle as well as get interceptions. Injuries have been a concern, as well as intelligence, but he can play and is a poor man’s Taylor Mays in this draft. He needs to bulk up a bit of muscle and get stronger, but with his height and speed he would be a good nickel and maybe a decent NFL safety. As a CB/S tweener he could be used in a variety of schemes.

None of these are 1st round picks or even 2 thru 3, but finding a diamond in the rough is more fun. At least if these guys are a bust you having wasted much or lost any money.
