1 (18) – Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville; 2 (49) – Jace Amaro, TE, Texas A&M; 3 (80) – Dexter McDougle, CB, Maryland; 4 (104) – Jalen Saunders, WR, Oklahoma; 4 (115) – Shaq Evans, WR, UCLA; 4 (137) – Dakota Dozier, OT, Furman; 5 (154) – Jeremiah George, ILB, Iowa State; 6 (195) – Brandon Dixon, CB, Northwest Missouri State; 6 (209) – Quincy Enunwa, WR, Nebraska; 6 (210) – IK Enemkpali, DE, Louisiana Tech; 6 (213) – Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson; 7 (233) – Trevor Riley, OLB, Utah<\/p>\n
Top Picks Analysis: Cornerback seemed like the bigger need for the Jets but John Idzik and Rex Ryan couldn’t pass up Louisville safety Calvin Pryor with the 18th overall pick.<\/p>\n
An old school, seek-and-destroy safety, Pryor is a little bit better in coverage than he gets credit for and a lot of scouts have described him as a bigger Bob Sanders.<\/p>\n
If the second round New York added to its improved playmaking unit on offense by selecting Texas A&M tight end Jace Amaro, who is more of a glorified slot receiver in the mold of Aaron Hernandez than a traditional “Y.”<\/p>\n
“I like this pick a lot for the Jets as they try to fortify their offensive firepower,” NFL Network draft analyst Charles Davis said. “(Amaro) is a physical route runner. He gets into seams very well. Once he catches the ball, he becomes an excellent ball carrier.”<\/p>\n
Rex finally got his corner in the third round when Idzik tabbed Maryland’s Dexter McDougle, who isn’t very big but runs pretty well.<\/p>\n
Best Value Pick: Shaq Evans, a fourth-round wide receiver out of UCLA, has impressive size and solid hands. He could develop into a solid possession receiver who can work the middle of the field and prove to be a chain-mover.<\/p>\n
Questionable Calls: McDougle has a shoulder problem and was rated as a late- round pick by most. His ceiling as a player is likely a sub-package slot option.<\/p>\n
Summary: The top two picks were very good and things tapered off a bit from there.<\/p>\n
FINAL GRADE: B<\/p>\n
