His one great quality last season was his YAC production, which was best in class. He has good speed, good hands, runs good routes, and is strong and tough. He projects instantly as WR2 opposite Garret Wilson as WR1. The Jets have now transformed their passing attack in a single night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">With the trade the Jets now have made three first round picks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Their remaining picks in this draft are now as follows:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That is a long, long stretch between pick #140 and pick #228. I hope this works out well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What do you think?
