NFL Draft 2017: Jets take RB Elijah McGuire, CB Jeremy Clark and CB Derrick Jones

FLORHAM PARK -- It's not easy to find studs late in the NFL Draft.

But Mike Maccagnan did his best to increase his odds.

The third-year Jets general manager executed three separate trades on Saturday which netted, in part, three sixth-round picks. He used them to selected Louisiana-Lafayette running back Elijia McGuire (No. 188), Michigan cornerback Jeremy Clark (No. 197), and Ole Miss cornerback Derrick Jones (No. 204).

McGuire, 22, has pretty good size for a running back. He's 5-10 and 214. At the NFL Combine, he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.
