New York Jets: Top 3 options in round 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft

The New York Jets own a pair of third-round picks in the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft thanks to an in-season trade with the New York Giants for Leonard Williams. On top of the team’s original third-round pick (No. 79 overall) the team has a top-70 selection as well to play with on draft day.

When you look historically at the Jets they’ve been pretty hit or miss on their third-round picks (mostly miss):

2019: Jachai Polite (68th overall), Chuma Edoga (92nd overall)

2018: Nathan Shepherd (72nd overall)

2017: ArDarius Stewart (79th overall)

2016: Jordan Jenkins (83rd overall)

2015: Lorenzo Mauldin (82nd overall)

2014: Dexter McDougle (80th overall)

2013: Brian Winters (72nd overall)

2012: Demario Davis (77th overall)

Polite was one of the worst selections in New York Jets’ draft history.
