Jets can hit NFL draft ‘home run’ with Aliza Vera-Tucker

NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremia believes the Jets have several options next week with their second first round pick, No. 23, but one makes more sense than the other.

“For me, if you’re trying to get yourself into that position, this whole draft will be about Zach Wilson for me, at least quickly,” Jeremiah said on Wednesday. “We’re going to dedicate as many resources to him as Sam, because we can give him a chance [Darnold] No, which is for some good people in front of him and where there are a lot of options to go with football. “

Jeremiah pointed to three positions, as the Jets could address the offensive line, cornerback and edge razor at No. 23.

“You’ve got the corners you can see. Jeremiah said,” You can be in one place, so that the business gets a little back. “” You’ve got the edge razor, which I think if you This is a great place for an edge rusher if you are interested in one. I think between 15 and 25, I think through the teams that surround me when you are one of these edge rushers Bunch are going to see. They are going to be right in the mix of these torrent crowd what a man is like [Azeez] Ojulri, Greg Russo, see what happens [Jaelan] Philips. They will be opportunities.

If the Jets go with an offensive lineman, there is one that makes it 23.

“You look at 23, offensive line wise if there is any [Alijah] Vera-Tucker was supposed to go there, this is the home run of all the home-run pix, ”he said. “[Christian] Derisov is someone who is interesting. “

Cornerbacks probably can’t help Wilson, his presumed No. 2 pick, but there’s no doubt a major requirement for the Jets. Jeremiah pointed to a corner available in the 23rd, which is best suited to protect Robert Saleh.

“I think you could say that Greg Newsome makes some sense out of 23 in the Northwest,” he said. He said, “He is a tall and colorful player and can actually play football, which is very suitable for any scheme, but obviously Saleh is accustomed to those big guys. He would understand that.”

Jets GM Joe Douglas has options.

“They have a bunch of different ways they can go. This is good news / bad news, ”Jeremiah said. “The bad news is that you have a bunch of needs. The good news is that you have a bunch of pics. Going to be able to go in different directions depending on how they fall. “
