Cornerback is one of the Jets’ biggest needs. At the moment, Darryl Roberts is penciled in as the starter opposite Trumaine Johnson. Though the Jets won’t be selecting a cornerback at No. 3, they could take one early if they end up trading back in this draft. Greedy Williams or Byron Murphy could be the pick depending on how far back they would go in the first round. If they acquire a second-round pick, they also could go cornerback there.
If they remain at No. 3, cornerback could be a target for them in the third or fourth round, but those players are far less likely to be able to break into the starting lineup.
