Jets head coach Todd Bowles and general manager Mike Maccagnan spoke to the media after the Jets picked in the fourth round today. Here are some of the highlights.
Maccagnan on NC State CB Burris: "He fits kind of what we do in terms of the style of play." ...Bowles: "He has versatility to move inside"

Maccagnan: Jets will play Juston Burris at CB. Bowles says he has versatility to play inside. Big, long, great eyes & ball skills.

Bowles likes that Burris has long arms. That helps with press-man coverage, he said. "We see him as a press corner."

Maccagnan says Jets tried to move up and back in this draft. They didn't have a ton of options, though because they had just six picks.

Todd Bowles: "I'm comfortable right now (w/ the depth on O-line)." #jets

Bowles: Both Jenkins & Mauldin can play strong & weak, left & right.

Maccagnan says #Jets are NOT in discussions with any other teams about acquiring a QB.

Bowles said he likes Jenkins as an edge setter at OLB.

Maccagnan said the only private QB workout he attended personally was Christian Hackenberg's... #jets

Is Maccagnan worried Fitzpatrick might retire? No comment.

Bowles says he's not concerned about having Fitzpatrick back right now until it's "mandatory.". Not mini-camp.. "Training camp," Bowles said

RE: Fitz, Bowles said #Jets aren't "just waiting for him" to show up. Said they've got three guys here already (Geno, Bryce, Hackenberg)
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) April 30, 2016
Maccagnan won't comment on how it sure seems Jimmy Sexton hasn't held up his end of the "not negotiate through media" agreement.

Todd Bowles on Ryan Fitzpatrick: "If he comes back, he comes back. When he comes back & he comes back, we’ll be happy to have him back."
