Jamison Crowder, Breshad Perriman and Quincy Enunwa are a solid trio at wide receiver, but the Jets need more at the position. Well aware of this, Joe Douglas pegs USC wideout Michael Pittman Jr. as his second-round selection.

At 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, Pittman Jr. is the big-bodied receiver the Jets need on the outside. He is a sharp route runner for a player his size and has both the hands and ball skills to make plays in traffic down the field.

Pittman Jr. has played with Sam Darnold before. Both players are familiar with each other and have a solid rapport from their college days. If nothing else, this puts Pittman Jr. above any wideout on the board when it is New York’s turn to pick.
