Should Jets Prioritize Premium Position With Pick 48?

The Jets came away from round 1 of the NFL draft by adding an elite prospect at a premium position in left tackle Mekhi Becton. While they have a glaring need at wide receiver, should Jets GM Joe Douglas hold off on a pass catcher and try to add another player at a premium position as it looks like there’s a chance one could fall to them?

For years the Jets have been without a truly dominant left tackle or edge rusher, and the cornerback spot has some promise but plenty of question marks. And while interior offensive line isn’t considered a premium position, it would be silly to rule it out given Douglas’ background and the players at that spot that could be available at 48.
