EDGE Jabari Zuniga – No. 79 overall

The Jets needed pass rush help, and Zuniga will provide that from anywhere along the defensive front. He only played five games in 2019 but still managed to put up three sacks and tallied 18.5 during his career at Florida. Zuniga is incredibly fast off the snap and proved it with the highest athleticism score – 93 – of all edge rushers at the NFL combine. 

Zuniga likely won’t be an every-down rusher for the Jets early on but could turn into a nice player for Williams in sub-packages where he’ll be mismatched against tight ends or inferior linemen.

Grade: B-
