- Looking into Kiper’s crystal ball
The Jets have picked a defensive player with their last three first-round draft choices. ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper suspects they’ll do it again this year with the ninth overall pick.
“I still think the front seven on the defensive side is the way to go,” Kiper said Wednesday on a media conference call.
Obvious follow-up question: The Jets had one of the worst offenses last season, so why would they draft defense? The reason is, the draft is top-heavy with defensive linemen and linebackers, with no offensive skill players worthy of a top-10 pick, according to many pundits.
