Teams believe New York Jets will take Josh Allen 3rd (Report)

The New York Jets failed to address the pass rush in free agency. They can’t afford to make that same mistake in the draft. As a result, Josh Allen of the University of Kentucky is an intriguing option for Gang Green with the No. 3 pick.

According to Rich Cimini of ESPN, there is a growing belief among NFL teams that the Jets are planning to take Allen if they go with a 3-4 scheme.

Allen is an EDGE rusher but he’s considered an outside linebacker who fits better into a 3-4 rather than defensive coordinator Gregg Williams’ preferred 4-3.
