Report: Jets expected to draft EDGE Josh Allen in the first round

After failing to secure an edge rusher in free agency, the New York Jets will undoubtedly be looking to address the position in the upcoming 2019 NFL Draft. One of the most frequent names that has been tied to the team over the past few months has been Kentucky edge rusher Josh Allen.

Based on a recent report from Rich Cimini of ESPN, the speculation from around the league is that the Jets will be heavily targeting the talented edge rusher in this year’s draft. This comes as no surprise as he would fill a direct need for the Jets and should, in all likelihood, be available with the Jets first-round selection.
