My Mock Draft of the Jets

1st LB Ruben Foster

Our linebacker position could use another 1st rounder, and Foster is the BPA at this point in the draft.

2nd C Pat Elflein

Likely we cut Mangold, and Elflein is the BPA at this point in the draft.

3rd OT Antonio Garica

The Jets will need another OT to develop for the future, and Garica looks like could be paired with Shell in the future.

3rd FS Tedric Thompson

Was a great coverage safety and part of the number one pass defense in college football. Health concerns are there, but Thompson is NFL ready and was very successful against pac 12 teams.

5th RB James Conner

Conner is the power running back that the Jets are missing from their offense. Conner is a success story overcoming cancer.

6th OG Sean Harlow

Carpenter is not going to be here forever, and Harlow would have been pick in the earlier rounds except that Harlow broke his leg in 2015. Harlow can play anywhere as a back-up, and develop as Carpenter's replacement.

7th K Jake Elliott

Jets cut Folk, and Elliott can fill the void. Elliott's strength 50+ yard field goals which the Jets have had trouble with recent years with Folk. Elliott brings better kickoffs, which means more touchbacks.
