There's only two players I'm certain will be gone at 6, Myles Garrett and Solomon Thomas.
If what I read here is true, Jamal Adams is next on the Jets value board, but they don't anticipate he will be there for them.
Assuming thats correct, its pretty safe to assume Adams is the pick if he slides to 6, but lets say the Jets are right and that doesn't happen.
That means we're looking at a value board that goes three deep for the Jets, with two more ahead of them.
First, who might be on that value board, based purely on value, not on positions or needs?
I'm guessing its Malik Hooker, OJ Howard, Marshon Lattimore and Jonathan Allen ... with Mitchell Trubisky being a possible dark horse.
Thats four, five if you count Trubisky, but I think we can eliminate Allen based on position and need, so its three and possibly Trubisky.
Now its a matter of discerning HOW the Jets have these players stacked in terms of draft grades?
MY BEST GUESS ...
1. Malik Hooker, FS, Ohio State
2. Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
3. OJ Howard, TE, Alabama
Again, Trubisky is a possible dark horse based on his positional value as a QB and the fact that QB is still not settled for us.
Now here's the problem with that value board, it doesn't account for injuries, and since none of us are privy to the Jets medical reports, we don't know to what degree Hooker and/or Lattimore have been downgraded due to injuries, if at all?
What we do know is that Howard is the only one of the three who comes with a totally clean bill of health. So, based on that, its conceivable that Howard can sit at 1 or 2 on that value board simply because he is the healthiest of the three.
All I know is, if we stay at 6 I'm pretty sure we are taking someone from that short list, unless Adams falls, in which case it sounds like we would take Adams, and lastly, the QB (as usual) is the possible wild card or dark horse.
