New York Jets draft LaMical Perine with the 120th pick

Error 0:

The New York Jets dip into Florida once again. This time for Lamical Perine, a backup running back option for Adam Gase and Le’Veon Bell.

Joe Douglas and the New York Jets are adding another running back to their roster. This was a necessity and likely to come at some point on day three, but Lamical Perine seems like a reach.

Perine is a redshirt-senior, though still 22-years-old. He never reached 850 yards at Florida, and he ran a 4.62 40-yard dash. The Jets were in desperate need of a change of pace back, and Perine isn’t that.
