New York Jets trade down from 48, draft WR Denzel Mims at 59

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the New York Jets have traded the 48th pick of the 2020 NFL Draft to the Seattle Seahawks. In return, the Jets will receive the 59th and 101st selections. The former pick thus became the Jets’ first Friday night selection.

With the newly acquired pick from the Seahawks, the Jets chose Denzel Mims, a receiver out of Baylor.

Mims departs Baylor with 2,925 yards on 186 receptions, 28 of which went for touchdowns. He earned 66 receptions for 1,020 yards and a career-high 12 touchdowns, which were good for fourth in the Big 12.
