A player who benefited from the Senior Bowl was Michigan’s Josh Uche, who the Jets snag here with the first of their added picks from the Denver trade.

Uche stole the spotlight in Mobile with his burst and bend around the edge and was a nearly unblockable the entire week of practice. The Jets need speed off the edge and Uche would be able to instantly provide it, granted that the Jets bring in an outside linebacker in free agency to compliment him.

Uche can be impactful in the passing game as well, but he’s best on the edge, where the Jets could definitely use the sack help.
