Round 3
79. Bradlee Anae | EDGE | Utah
Bradlee Anae has been a popular projection to the Jets, specifically in the third round.
The Utah product is not going to solve New York’s pass-rushing woes, but he certainly can come in and be a complement to Jordan Jenkins on the outside. He has the size at 6-foot-3, 257-pounds, strength, hands and flexibility to play standing up or with his hand in the dirt. Anae is not a natural bull-rusher, but he certainly has the motor to play as a rush linebacker in Gregg Williams’ defensive scheme.
Anae repeated as a first-team All-Pac 12 selection in 2019, leading the Utes with 14 tackles for loss, among his 41 tackles. He also added 13 sacks in 14 total starts, which was good enough to be recognized as a third-team Associated Press-All American.
