New York Jets 2022 Mock Draft: Reloading the OLine and Secondary
Round 5, 148th Overall: Jalyn Armour-Davis, CB, Alabama
The New York Jets got their guy earlier in Booth to be a lock down guy, but adding more depth makes sense to the corner room. Like Ojabo, Jalyn Armour-Davis isn’t getting the attention on the Alabama defense, but he might be the most impressive Crimson Tide defensive back this season not named Jordan Battle.
Armour-Davis has the size and speed combo that many NFL teams look for in corners. He’s got improving technique and can time breakups well at the catch point. His skills in man coverage are improving as well and his best football could be ahead.
Round 6, 162nd Overall: Reggie Roberson Jr., WR, SMU
The Jets don’t have much in the receiver room sticking around after the 2021 season, so adding depth in the 2022 NFL Draft makes plenty of sense. Injuries have hurt him the past couple seasons, but Reggie Roberson Jr. is another impressive deep threat who has the short area burst and speed to excel down the field and after the catch.
Round 6, 206th Overall: Rashad Wisdom, S, UTSA
This Jets mock draft finishes up by adding a sleeper safety in the draft. Hill is best when working in the short-to-intermediate area, and while Davis can potentially do it all, there’s no reason to ignore reloading the position here.
Rashad Wisdom isn’t a well-known name yet, but he’s an excellent defender on a UTSA team that’s having a phenomenal season. He has impressive range and ball skills to be the last line of defense in single high or a two-deep shell, and his effort and motor run hot all game long.
