New York Jets: The 2018 NFL Draft Report Card

6th Round:  Parry Nickerson (CB, Tulane) – B+

It’s beyond puzzling how Nickerson fell so far to the 6th round. After a great combine performance that included a 4.32 in the 40-yard dash, it looked like his stock was up. He may be undersized but his athletic prowess along with some high-quality ball skills means the Jets may have added a nice piece to their secondary for pennies.

6th Round:  Foley Fatukasi (DT, UConn) – B

The defensive line gets another jolt of help late with Fatukasi. He too is another of those bigger defensive tackles who boast a good mix of strength and quickness. Like Shepherd though he hasn’t put his game together completely and his upside is a little less. That said he provides instant depth and if he accepts the proper coaching he can be a contributor quickly.

6th Round:  Trenton Cannon (RB, Virginia State) – C+

This new NFL is less about complete backs and more about complete backfields. Teams look to manage with a set of backs who do different things well rather than trying to get one back who does it all. Cannon is one of those undersized but highly agile types who are quick and dangerous with the ball in his hands. He needs to put on weight but he’s scat option with return ability.
