Certain holes are less pressing than they were a week ago, while others are even more pressing.<\/p>\n<p>One position where the Jets are less desperate for help is defensive tackle. After the trade acquisition of T\u2019Vondre Sweat and the free agent signing of David Onyemata, the Jets are in a nice position at defensive tackle. Sweat and Onyemata join a unit that already had Jowon Briggs and Harrison Phillips.<\/p>\n<p>However, you know how the saying goes: \u201cTake the best player available.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Could Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods be the best player available for New York with the 16th overall pick?<\/p>\n<p>Woods, who measured at 6-foot-2\u00bd and 298 pounds at the combine, played three years for the Tigers. He carved out a key rotational role as a true freshman and was starting by his sophomore year. For his career, Woods collected 84 total tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, and two forced fumbles.<\/p>\n<p>Numbers aside, does Woods\u2019 film show a player with enough upside to justify the 16th overall pick despite playing what has now become a position of strength for the Jets?<\/p>\n<p>On the latest episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/film\/blewett-blitz\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Blewett\u2019s Blitz<\/a>, we break down the All-22 film of Woods\u2019 2025 performances against LSU, Boston College, Duke, Florida State, and South Carolina. We will analyze his scouting report, project where he should be drafted, and determine whether he makes sense for New York in the mid-first round.<\/p>\n<p>Below is the full Peter Woods scouting report (strengths and weaknesses) and film review.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, this section of the page\/article contains premium content and requires a Jet X Membership.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/jet-x-membership\/membership-levels\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-65261 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Jet X Membership Button\" width=\"965\" height=\"209\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/jet-x-membership-button.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/jet-x-membership\/membership-levels\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Get Started<\/a> by checking out the Jet X Membership options, which include a 30-Day Free Trial, a Monthly Option, and a Yearly Option.<\/p>\n<p>Jet X Members receive unlocked access to all premium content on the site, a completely ad-free experience, and the ability to use Jet X Simulators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The bulk of the New York Jets\u2019 free agency pickups are signed, sealed, and delivered, which means it\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":525650,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[236654,1607,399,398,396,397,5702,349,17351,231523,227651,214451,3151,99,615],"class_list":["post-525649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-blewetts-blitz","tag-college-football","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-new-york-jets","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-draft","tag-ny-jets-film","tag-ny-jets-image","tag-ny-jets-videos-highlights","tag-premium","tag-sports","tag-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525649\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
