2020 NFL Draft: 4 prospects the Jets should avoid

Jets Wire takes a look at four 2020 NFL draft prospects the Jets should steer clear of.

Joe Douglas is going to have to make the most of the 2020 NFL Draft is the Jets want to have any chance at contending next season.

New York’s roster has multiple holes that need to be filled. In his first draft running the show as a general manager, Douglas will be tasked with accomplishing this feat by putting together a class that features multiple players that can make an impact early in their professional career.

Fortunately for Douglas and the Jets, this year’s draft is loaded with talent at positions where New York has needs. There are also numerous prospects worth staying away from at those positions. With that being said, let’s take a look at some prospects Douglas should be wary of selecting.

The Jets need to add some depth at cornerback, but there are certain corners available in this year’s draft that could only compound New York’s issues at the position.

A.J. Terrell is not a bad player by any means. However, he is not a fit in Gregg Williams’ defensive scheme. Terrell comes from a Cover 2 background and does not have a skill set that indicates he could thrive in a more man-heavy scheme. He also got torched by LSU underclassman Ja’Marr Chase in the College Football Playoff title game, causing his draft stock to endure a hit.

Odds are Terrell will wind up with a team that runs a defense that plays more to his strengths. He’s just not the answer to New York’s problems at cornerback.
