2020 NFL Draft: The 6 best wide receivers the Jets should target

Jets Wire takes a look at six of the top wide receivers in the 2020 NFL draft that the Jets should target with picks No. 11 or No. 48.

The wide receiver position has been the talk of the draft thus far.

Even though it’s increasingly likely that there will be no wideouts taken within the top 10 picks, the group of receivers is the deepest position in this draft class. Everyone has a favorite to pick, but fortunately for Gang Green’s sake, there are many receiving threats to be had. It’s likely that there could be over 20 receivers gone by the time Day 2 of the draft is completed.

So, which top wide receivers should the Jets target between picks Nos. 11 and 48? Let’s take a look at the best players to keep an eye on.

CeeDee Lamb played in a fast-pace offense at Oklahoma that allowed him to light the college football world on fire. In 2019, Lamb was named a first-team Associated Press All-American and a Biletnikoff Award finalist. He also earned first-team All-Big 12 honors. In 13 starts, he led the Sooners with 62 receptions for 1,327 yards and 14 touchdowns.

A playmaker, Lamb’s ball skills and explosiveness after the catch should enable him to become a dominant No. 1 option at wide receiver for years to come.
