Myles Garrett, DL/OLB

By far the No. 1 option for the Jets with their first round pick should be Texas A&M’s versatile DL/OLB Myles Garrett. In a class with good pass rushers, Garrett is the best of them all.

The Jets haven’t had a legit pass rushing threat since John Abraham. The problem is he could go as high as number one overall.

If he’s available when the Jets pick they should sprint to the podium. Outside of that, the Jets may want to consider moving up.

But as we elicited earlier that might not be wise considering the many holes on this roster. Every year outside of this season he’s reached the double-digit sack plateau. He could change the dynamic of this Jets defense from day one.
