Round 5

158. Jacob Breeland | TE | Oregon

Tight end is not a position of need for the Jets, but with Chris Herndon’s injury history and Ryan Griffin’s age, it’s a good bet they will probably end up with one when the draft commences.

That brings us to Jacob Breeland, who has received a clean bill of health after a knee injury cut his senior season at Oregon short. Before his injury, Breeland started his senior campaign strong, catching 26 passes for 405 yards and six touchdowns in six games.

Breeland is an average pass-catcher and isn’t a very good run blocker. It’s hard envisioning him beating out Daniel Brown or Trevon Wesco, both primarily blocking tight ends, which is why the Jets would be better suited to find more wide receiver or cornerback depth with this pick.
