With the 2019 NFL Draft’s third overall pick, the New York Jets were previously looking at sloppy seconds after some blend of Nick Bosa, Quinnen Williams or Josh Allen flew off the board. Now, thanks to the Arizona Cardinals’ love affair with Kyler Murray, Gang Green will have their choice of generational game-wrecking defensive linemen to pair with Leonard Williams.
There are glaring holes in this roster that must be addressed and general manager Mike Maccagnan, in his fourth year, is running out of excuses. To be fair, the NFL Draft is a crapshoot with far less than a 50/50 probability, and this GM’s last haul included franchise QB Sam Darnold, top-notch TE Chris Herndon, and promising question marks like Trenton Cannon and Nathan Shepherd.
