Cornerback is a position of need that the Jets will have to address in the draft.

Joe Douglas filled two starting spots with Brian Poole and Pierre Desir, but the Jets will need to take an outside cornerback on Day 2 of the draft, assuming they take a tackle or receiver in the first round. That player will compete with Blessaun Austin for the open starting spot on the outside.

So, which top cornerbacks should the Jets target between picks Nos. 48, 68 and 79? Let’s take a look at the best players to keep an eye on.

Trevon Diggs, Alabama

The brother of Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs, Trevon Diggs lines up on the opposite side of the ball. If Gang Green elects to take Diggs with the 48th pick, he could be covering his brother two times a season.

Diggs started 12 games for the Crimson Tide as a senior, picking up third-team Associated Press All-American and second-team All-SEC accolades. On the season, Diggs had interceptions and tied for the team lead with eight pass breakups, along with 37 tackles and two fumble recoveries.

Diggs has the combination of size, standing 6-foot-1, strength and ball skills to be a more than capable press cover corner at the next level.
