Round 3 (via NYG):

68. Darrell Taylor | EDGE | Tennessee

As part of the Leonard Williams trade, the Jets take Darrell Taylor hoping that he can have more of an impact as a pure pass-rusher.

Here’s the explanation for this selection:

Rather than force the issue at CB, or double-dip at WR now knowing there will be value at the position with their next pick, the Jets grab an EDGE who threatens to be their most athletic pass rusher right away. With the right coaching, he can soon evolve into New York’s best player off the edge.

Taylor led the Volunteers with 10 tackles for loss while adding 8.5 sacks, 46 total tackles and four pass breakups in 2019. He has the ability to explode off the edge but needs additional development to refine his technique at the next level. Taylor’s certainly an edge rusher New York can groom to be the sack artist they’ve been searching for, but it will take some teaching from Gregg Williams.
