I was a little surprised when the New York Jets called Micheal Clemons‘s number on day three of the draft. After already signing Jacob Martin, drafting Jermaine Johnson, and welcoming Carl Lawson back into the fold I was almost certain that they’d opt for a defensive tackle instead.
After all, the Jets struggled to get consistent production from anyone inside other than Quinnen Williams, and the Jets’ inability to stop the run was a big contributing factor in their defensive struggles.
New York had good options available to fix their DT problem.
