LSU: WR Justin Jefferson

Few players have done more to improve their draft stock over the past month than LSU WR Justin Jefferson. He caught a career-high four touchdowns during LSU’s 63-28 dismantling of Oklahoma in the semi-final. Catching passes from the future No. 1 overall pick and reigning Heisman winner, Joe Burrow, Jefferson had nine receptions for 106 yards in LSU’s 42-25 win over Clemson.

Taking someone of Jefferson’s caliber is an idealistic scenario on Day 2 of the draft for Joe Douglas. Waiting for the second round to take a wideout indicates that the Jets would be able to start fixing the patchwork offensive line, which is New York’s top priority.
