2019 New York Jets Draft:

1-3: Quinnen Williams, DT (Alabama)
3-68: Jachai Polite, LB (Florida)
3-92: Chuma Edoga, T (USC)
4-121: Trevon Wesco, TE (West Virginia)
5-157: Blake Cashman, LB (Minnesota)
6-196: Blessuan Austin. CB (Rutgers)

Draft Grade: Handcuffed, but Solid

The Jets probably would have loved to have gotten a haul for the third overall pick, but if Williams plays like he looks like he could, that will be forgotten in a few years. They are a bit restricted because of moves they had to make to get their QB, but did a nice job drafting good players where they could find them.

Williams and Polite should be looked at together, as the two will provide a huge boost to their ability to pressure opposing QBs. Polite had a bad draft process, but if he gets his head on straight, could be one of the great values of this draft.

Wesco is a very versatile prospect that will be used as a FB/TE hybrid.

Edoga is a nice prospect that looked very good at the Senior Bowl and should be their right tackle soon. However, they need to quickly make that offensive line a priority.
