Jets need a corner, but who can they get after the first round? Dan Leberfeld
If the Jets don’t pick a cornerback in the first round, who might they consider after round one?
Here are some names to consider courtesy of NFL Network draft analyst, and former scout, Daniel Jeremiah:
“A.J. Terrell from Clemson, who’s real tall, lean, real fluid. He’s somebody that plays a variety of techniques there. A really good blitzer coming off the boundary too. But he can be a little sticky when he has to work back downhill. But he’s a tall, long, athletic corner. I think he’s a late 1, early 2, could end up slipping a little bit in the second round, see what happens.
“I love Damon Arnette. He’s twitched up from Ohio State. He can find and play the ball. He’s a little bit tight, but you can play him in press. He’s somebody, I think, is going to go in the second round.
“Jeff Gladney from TCU, kind of he’s got some similarities to a Denzel Ward. Just undersized, real feisty. He plays off. He’s real fluid, very aware. I’ve watched the Iowa State game, one of the games I flipped on with him, it was a war watching him go up against that wide receiver.
“The one that I think is going to go in the second round that’s fascinating to me is the corner from Auburn, (Noah) Igbinoghene. He’s one that’s really explosive. A former wide receiver. He was a track guy. They moved him to corner. Really, really ultra twitched up. But he struggles to play the football. And that to me is my concern. He doesn’t have any interceptions. In the LSU and Alabama games, he just struggled to find and play the ball. So I think he’ll get drafted in the second round based off traits, but there’s still some development to take place there.
The question is just how is his deep speed and he’s just okay as a tackler.”
