Did the New York Jets make the best choice?
Considering the team’s cursed history, the answer to that question is more often than not “no.” In this case, though, the question refers to selecting Jermaine Johnson at No. 26 in the 2022 draft.
During that season’s draft wars among Jets fans, mock drafts were filled with edge rusher selections at both No. 4 and No. 10. Johnson’s name appeared in either spot for many prognosticators. His slide to No. 26 surprised many.
No one will argue that the Jets made the right choices with Sauce Gardner at No.
