NFL Draft History: Ranking the Jets’ last 15 1st-round picks

The 2021 NFL Draft is finally arriving on Thursday night, and thanks to the Jets‘ putrid 2020 season and last summer’s trade of Jamal Adams to Seattle, New York owns the No. 2 and 23 overall selections in the first round. What they will do with the second pick is obvious; what they will do at No. 23 isn’t and remains a mystery.

There’s additionally a chance the Jets trade their 23rd pick and move up in the draft.

But regardless, the organization will attempt to hit the nail on the head with its opening-round selections, something that hasn’t been all too common in recent years.
