Jets, Giants take necessary risks at NFL Draft

he New York Giants and New York Jets each entered the 2019 NFL Draft with glaring concerns. The teams made their respective selections with confidence over the course of the few days, but it remains to be seen how it will all pan out.

For starters, general manager Mike Maccagnan and the Jets have prided themselves on taking the best player available when presented with options. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the Jets chose to select Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams with the third overall pick. While Williams has the potential to be a devastating presence on the interior of their defensive line, Maccagnan elected to pass up the opportunity to draft at a much-needed position at edge.
