Why the New York Jets should draft Montez Sweat

One could call a pass rusher an essential component of today’s NFL game, as Sweat has emerged into one of the best in this year’s draft. The edge rusher, a position that has evolved over time, has become one that must exhibit versatility. With that, Sweat’s wide array of skills that include strength, speed, and agility, along with the ability to drop into coverage and read the eyes of the quarterback separate him from his contemporaries. The Jets will have the third selection and are projected to take a pass rusher, as Sweat’s multitude of weapons should fill the void.
