Eric Edholm's Commentary
It feels like the Jets knew the Texans were taking Stingley, so they knew if they wanted a top corner, they could not wait with the Giants coming up next. Gardner’s career production has been wild the past three years: 9 INTs, 0 TDs allowed. He’s a great fit as a zone corner in Robert Saleh’s defense, so it’s hard to gripe with the pick at all.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
It’s no shock they went receiver here, having struck out on Tyreek Hill and other potential upgrades. Wilson should step in as part of a four-WR group that includes Corey Davis, Elijah Moore and Braxton Berrios. Now Zach Wilson feels more like he did at BYU: with receiving options all over the field. I’d be shocked if Wilson isn’t at least a very respectable pass catcher.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
We’re stunned at Johnson’s fall. He was the best EDGE at the Senior Bowl, consistently bringing the energy and terror for two impressive days. He’s not an elite pass rusher, but he attacks the ball very well, has a big motor and an alpha personality. With three first-rounders, the Jets have improved in three critical areas. Impressive stuff, Joe Douglas.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Well, the Jets have made four picks, and we don't hate a single one. This one might be our favorite. Hall is Jonathan Taylor Lite — not quite as big or fast, but the same type of tackle-breaking and home-run hitting ability. He's a top-25 prospect. Michael Carter is the third-down back, Hall the early-down guy.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
The Long Island native comes home to join a Jets offense that has added firepower. Ruckert is an easy-moving seam threat who was underused in a loaded Buckeyes offense. But all you need to do is watch the 2020 college football playoffs to know he can make plays in the passing game. As a blocker, he's competitive but hot and cold in his effectiveness.
