The NY Jets have been linked to a number of different prospects with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. But recently, a new name joined the list in Alabama defensive tackle Christian Barmore.

Ben Volin of the Boston Globe released a full 32-team mock draft on Monday and after mocking the Jets Zach Wilson with the No. 2 overall pick, he decided to make a puzzling decision at 23.

Rather than address one of the Jets’ biggest needs, he instead had the Jets selecting an interior defensive lineman with their second first-round pick.
