Good corners are hard to find, so the top prospects at that position often come off the board pretty fast, usually in the first couple of rounds.
So for the Jets to get Qwan’tez Stiggers in the fifth round could turn out to be a steal.
NFL.com draft analyst Chad Reuter did a story on Tuesday about his three favorite picks in each round.
Stiggers was one of his three favorite fifth-round picks.
Reuter made a salient point about Stiggers’ value:
“A senior at a major college program with his ability likely would have been a late Day 2 pick, but the Jets snagged him with the last selection in Round 5,” Reuter wrote.
