This is the first in a series of features on the 2016 NFL Draft, position by position. Today's position: Running backs. The Jets' RB roster synopsis is followed by five players considered top candidates at the position, plus two "sleeper" picks who could be available when the Jets select in Rounds 3-7.
Anything is possible in the NFL Draft, of course, but running back doesn't appear to be a need position for the Green & White. The Jets responded quickly after Chris Ivory left via free agency to sign with the Jaguars, bringing in 30-years-young "Work Horse" Matt Forté, late of the Bears and still a danger to rack up 1,000 rushing yards and plenty of receptions.
