2022 NFL draft: Jets get leapfrogged for potential WR target in Peter King mock

Peter King has the Texans leapfrogging the Jets and stealing a way a potential receiver target with the ninth pick in the 2022 NFL draft.

The 2022 NFL draft is less than 48 hours away, placing the Jets on the precipice of landing two potentially elite players with their pair of top 10 picks.

Armed with picks No. 4 and No. 10, Joe Douglas is once again in a position to make a splash early in the first round. Will New York emerge with a pass rusher at No. 4? Could a cornerback be in play with that pick? Will a wide receiver get the nod at No. 10? All of these questions are on the verge of being answered.

Peter King’s most recent mock draft has the Jets focusing on their secondary with the fourth pick before a bit of a twist in the decision making process with the 10th pick. King projects the Texans to trade up from No. 13 to No. 9 to leapfrog the Jets for a wide receiver who could very well be their top target at the position.

Let’s take a closer look at who King has the Jets picking in the first round and a glimpse at the wideout he has the Texans stealing away with the ninth pick.
