Kristian Dyer of SI Predicts Jets Move Down Twice in Round 1 With Latest Mock

Getting creative in putting together his latest mock draft, Jets beat writer Kristian Dyer of Sports Illustrated has Joe Douglas looking to move down not just once, but twice in the first round of this month’s draft. The Jets first move down from 11 to 21, and then 21 to 30 with the Eagles and Packers respectively.

What does he have the Jets adding for those picks? From the Eagles he’s getting picks 21, 53 and 169. In the swap with Green Bay, the Jets add picks 30 and 94. It’s the Jets dire need for talent up and down the roster that forces the deals, with the Jets addressing their top need with the 30th pick, grabbing Houston left tackle Josh Jones.
