The New York Jets biggest need was Edge rusher prior to the draft. The Jets used the 68th overall pick in the 3rd round to select Jachai Polite, linebacker from Florida. Polite should project well into Gregg Williams’ new aggressive scheme.
Rapid Reaction
Apparently, the Jets front office had Polite very high on their boards:
The #Jets take #Florida pass-rusher Jachai Polite, who they believe is the 2nd best pass-rusher in the draft.

Polite has the numbers to warrant the praise as well.
