After using their top pick in this mock draft scenario on Trevor Lawrence, my natural instinct was to pair him with a wide receiver.

The Jets, however, have one of the worst all-around rosters in the league right now and they have a desperate need at the cornerback position.

Derion Kendrick is a former wide receiver who played some quarterback in high school, and his raw talent has proven to be something NFL teams are very interested in.

There is a bit of a projection here, but if the Jets can be patient, they might have themselves a dynamic playmaker in the secondary.

Kendrick’s background as a wide receiver shows in the way that he plays the ball and he is aggressive attacking it.
