No. 7: QB Cam Ward – Miami (FL)
With the Jets moving on from veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, selecting Ward gives them a new signal-caller and face of the franchise. He’ll step into a situation with a top wide receiver already in place, while new head coach Aaron Glenn will look to build a strong defense to support the young quarterback.

No. 7: Edge Jalon Walker – Georgia
New head coach Aaron Glenn knows well that a cornerback’s best friend is a good pass rush. Gang Green adds some versatility to its defense with Walker, who can play off-ball linebacker or get after opposing quarterbacks off the edge.

No. 7: DL Mason Graham – Michigan
“The Jets have a collection of free agents along the defensive line, and Graham is the premier interior three-down player in the class.”

33rd Team – Kyle Crabbs

No. 7: CB Will Johnson – Michigan
“Given the Jets’ commitment to a “new direction” at quarterback this offseason, the team would be wise to pursue something similar in other key spots this offseason. With CB Sauce Gardner in the prime of his career, the Jets could move on from DJ Reed as the other corner, avoid giving out a big contract at that position and pair Gardner with another big-bodied corner with elite skills. Will Johnson and Sauce Gardner would be a matchup win for the Jets against nearly any opponent in the league.”
