If Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach didn’t trade up to No. 56 overall to select wide receiver Mecole Hardman, he would have likely went to the New York Jets at No. 57, per a new report from Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News.
MEHTA: The Jets, meanwhile, were positioning themselves to trade into the second round for [Mecole Hardman], according to sources. Gang Green, who didn’t have a second-round pick, specifically targeted and coveted the speedy 5-10, 187-pound wideout.
