Yes, I know, the NFL draft was in April, but something came to mind when thinking back on the Jets taking Will McDonald IV in the first round.
I had reservations about the pick, not from a talent standpoint–he reminds me of Robert Mathis, with Dwight Freeney’s spin move–but from a standpoint of he wasn’t what the team needed. They have a plethora of pass rushers.
While I think you can never have enough pass rushers, however, they had needs in other areas such as offensive lineman, defensive tackle–they were thin in that area after losing Sheldon Rankins and Nathan Shepherd–and linebacker that needed to be addressed.
