3. New York Jets 2020 NFL Draft
– There’s nothing to quibble over – the Jets checked a box with almost every pick. I’m not the biggest fan of Mekhi Becton, but there’s no arguing with giving Sam Darnold a big blocker to keep him upright. The QB also got a flash of a deep threat in Denzel Mims to play with. Don’t be shocked if Texas A&M P Braden Mann in the sixth turns out to be the team’s sneaky-strongest pick.

– LOVE the defensive back picks. They nailed the call on Cal safety Ashtyn Davis in the third and the injured – but talented – corner Bryce Hall in the fifth. Those two are value ballers who slid.
– The James Morgan pick makes a little sense, but over Jake Fromm and Jacob Eason? Darnold is the franchise, and Morgan is a big-arm bomber with the smarts to step in right away and help the cause, but that was a big call in the fourth.
Best Value Pick: CB Bryce Hall, Virginia (5th)
Biggest Reach: QB James Morgan, FIU (4th)
Late Flier That Could Work: P Braden Mann, Texas A&M (6th)
