1st round: Calvin Pryor | S | Lousiville

The Jets’ drafted a hard-hitting safety known as the “Louisville Slugger” in a league that started to penalize more flagrant hits. Drafting Calvin Pryor was a surprise at the time and seemed more like a Rex Ryan pick than anything.

Pryor often struggled in coverage and New York found that out the hard way. The Jets traded Pryor for Demario Davis after drafting Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye to replace him.

Pryor was cut by the Browns after getting in a fight with a teammate. He was then signed by Idzik’s Jaguars but was cut in early December 2017. Pryor is currently a free agent.

2nd round: Jace Amaro | TE | Texas Tech

Jace Amaro appeared to be a steal in the second round but never developed into the dual-threat tight end New York thought it was getting.

Amaro had a disappointing rookie season and had a habit of dropping passes. He tore his labrum and missed all of the 2015 season. The Jets then waived Amaro before final roster cuts in 2016.

Amaro was claimed off waivers by the Titans and was buried on the depth chart as the third tight end, barely seeing the field. Tennessee cut him after one season. He later spent 2018 with the Kansas City Chiefs organization.

Most recently, Amaro was drafted in the fourth round of the 2020 XFL Draft by the Seattle Dragons. He is currently a free agent.
