When the New York Jets defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars by a score of 26-21 the day after Christmas, it was a bittersweet moment.
On one hand, a win is a win, and those are especially important for a young, developing quarterback like Zach Wilson.
But on the other hand, New York seemingly kissed goodbye any chances of landing either of the 2022 NFL draft’s two elite EDGE prospects.
Oregon’s Kayvon Thibodeaux and Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson are widely expected to be the first two picks of April’s draft. Both are seen as elite prospects with incredibly high ceilings.
