It was another disappointing season for the New York Jets. Stop me if you've heard that before. The Jets finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the ninth straight season. That landed them with the No. 11 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and many upgrades to make.
With Pat Shurmur and Freddie Kitchens both fired, the Jets arguably now have the worst coach in football in Adam Gase. He has created a hostile relationship with Le'Veon Bell. Gase has shown no ability to be a good leader and is a poor in-game coach. Regardless, he will be the head man for the Jets in 2020. Gase will also have a say in who the Jets take with the 11th pick.
Here are three options for Gang Green.
3. Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
The Jets have three needs that stick out. They will all be covered on this list, but we begin at cornerback. New York has one of the best at the safety position in Jamal Adams and they could use another strong piece in their secondary. Trumaine Johnson was a tremendous let down. Fulton has No. 1 cornerback size at 6-foot-0 and 200 pounds. He is playing for the best team in college football against top competition in the SEC.
Ohio State's Jeff Okudah is the top rated cornerback, but it is highly unlikely that he falls to No. 11. If Fulton is on the board, the Jets will take a hard look at him.
2. Tristan Wirfs, OL, Iowa
The Jets have interest in luring Trent Williams to town, but with Bruce Allen done in D.C., the All-Pro might opt to stay in the nation's capital. Georgia's Andrew Thomas will not be around at pick No. 11, so Wirfs is the Jets' best option to help fix their putrid offensive line.
There is no guarantee that Wirfs will be available either. His value has skyrocketed because of his tremendous skillset and high ceiling. Wirfs would make an immediate impact for the Jets.
1. Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama
This draft is full of talent at receiver. Jeudy is just one of the options along with CeeDee Lamb, Tee Higgins, Henry Ruggs III, and Laviska Shenault. With Lamb's stock rising, Jeudy might fall right into the Jets' arms.
Sam Darnold needs a No. 1 option. Robby Anderson is a solid deep ball threat and Jamison Crowder is a slot receiver. Jeudy is a game changer. He was all season at Alabama and will be wherever he lands in the NFL.
Jeudy is the kind of player that would thrive in New York. This selection would take the Jets' offense to another level right away. Jeudy remains the best fit for the Jets in the 2020 NFL Draft.
