With the 68th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select… Ashtyn Davis, Safety, Cal. This was the first shock pick of Joe Douglas‘ short career as a general manager. It’s strange to think about the Jets selecting a safety with a premium pick.
With Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye already on the roster, there’s no place for a safety to play immediately. It’s a good thing that Davis isn’t a traditional safety. He’s a defensive weapon that has been moved all over the field.
