The 2022 NFL draft has solid running back depth, as most classes do. It would be ideal for the New York Jets to continue to acquire more youth at the position in less than two weeks.
In each of his first two drafts with the Jets, general manager Joe Douglas spent a fourth-round selection on a running back, taking La’Mical Perine in 2020 and Michael Carter in 2021. With the way this draft’s talent pool is shaping up, there is a good possibility the Jets will select another running back on the draft’s third day.
