The New York Jets "prefer to take a tackle" in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft but might look at another position based on their available options, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini.

The Jets have the No. 11 overall pick, a point by which any combination of Iowa's Tristan Wirfs, Alabama's Jedrick Wills and Georgia's Andrew Thomas could be off the board. Bleacher Report's Matt Miller had the three going No. 8, 10 and 14, respectively, in his most recent mock draft.

Cimini questioned whether New York would take Louisville's Mekhi Becton after his drug test was flagged at the NFL Scouting Combine.
