2016 New York Jets draft picks: Analysis for every selection

Rich Cimini breaks down the 2016 New York Jets draft class.

Round 1, Pick No. 20: Darron Lee, OLB, Ohio State | Highlights

My take: This was a mild surprise because, frankly, Lee doesn't seem like a great scheme fit. At 6-foot-1, 232 pounds, he's smallish for a 3-4 inside linebacker, but he can run like a safety, evidenced by his blazing 40 at the combine -- 4.47 seconds. Improving the speed on defense is one of the Jets' objectives; Lee definitely helps. They picked him over high-profile linebackers Myles Jack and Reggie Ragland, and quarterback Paxton Lynch.
