Jets pick Ohio State linebacker Darron Lee

The Jets selected former Ohio State linebacker Darron Lee with the No. 20 pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday night.

The speedy pass-rushing threat joins a fearsome Todd Bowles-coached Jets defensive front.

Lee was the fifth Buckeyes player taken in the top 20.

The Jets picked Lee in lieu of outside linebacker Myles Jack (who has major red flags concerning the condition of his knee) or quarterback Paxton Lynch.
