2020 NFL Draft: 4 edge rushers the Jets could target in later rounds

Jets Wire takes a look four edge rushers the Jets could potentially target in the later rounds of the 2020 NFL draft.

It’s safe to assume the Jets won’t be in the market for an edge rusher with the No. 11 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, but that does not mean Joe Douglas and company will not look to address the position later on in the draft.

New York has lacked an elite pass rusher since the days of John Abraham. This year’s draft class is not exactly stacked with pass rushers as it has been in the past, but there are still plenty of solid players available for the taking.

So, who could the Jets target in the later rounds of the draft? Let’s take a look.

Curtis Weaver is the kind of player Joe Douglas would love to have on his team.

Billed as a high character workhorse with an endless motor, Weaver has all of the intangibles Douglas is looking for as he reshapes the Jets’ roster. Factor in his elite levels of production (52 tackles, 13.5 sacks) and you have a player New York could select as early as the third round.
