DT Quinnen Williams – No. 3, Jets

The Jets had multiple options with the third overall pick, including Josh Allen and Ed Olver, but opted for the versatile interior defensive lineman in Williams. Injuries plagued the rookie’s season as he only played 46 percent of the Jets’ defensive snaps in the 13 games he saw action.

Williams finished with a disappointing 2.5 sacks and six quarterback hits but was instrumental in Gregg Williams’ high-ranking run defense. Williams is still raw and will need a healthy offseason to build on his mediocre rookie season.
