The pros and cons of Jets trading for Khalil Mack

Surely, trading for Khalil Mack finally gives the New York Jets a bona fide pass rusher, including one of the top run defenders in the NFL. In 2015, the fifth overall pick by the Oakland Raiders in the 2014 NFL Draft made the first team, All-Pro team.

Uniquely, the very first player ever to be named as a first-team All-Pro while playing two different positions, defensive end and outside linebacker. In his four years, Mack has earned three Pro Bowls, two All-Pro awards as well as being named 2016 Defensive Player of the Year.

Adding Mack would without question catapult Gang Green as one of the top defenses in the league, which clearly makes acquiring Mack via trade a huge pro.
