The rumors have been heavy that the New York Jets are looking to move down in the first round, as Mike Maccagnan himself recently confirmed.
After giving up three second-round picks to move up to the third pick last year, the Jets are barren on draft ammunition, which isn’t ideal for a team with huge holes at a variety of positions.
Trading down makes a lot of sense. The Jets would have to say goodbye to the likely opportunity to choose the remaining available player between Nick Bosa and Quinnen Williams, but they would recoup the value they lost in last year’s Sam Darnold trade.
