I was tempted to leave this another week, after the combine dust had settled. Then I thought it would be interesting to see who changed their selection post workouts. So just as we have done before, here are some expert selections for the Jets at #16 this year:
Don Banks: Sports Illustrated. Jets Select Melvin Ingram, OLB South Carolina: (Previous selection Mark Barron)
The Jets could really use Stanford guard David DeCastro, and Alabama safety Mark Barron would fill another position of need. But they couldn't afford to pass on Ingram, who some consider the draft's top-rated defensive end, ahead of the riskier Quinton Coples of North Carolina. Ingram might wind up at outside linebacker in the NFL, but he'd improve the New York pass rush wherever he'd line up.
