The NFL draft combine has allowed the Jets to meet and get a better feeling for some of the top prospects on their big board — a key part of the pre-draft process. - New York is in a prime position to land two of the top talents in this year’s draft with the fourth and 10th overall picks. Joe Douglas has a ton of holes to fill and having two top 10 picks will allow him to address them with potentially elite talent. - Cornerback has been a need for the Jets for what feels like forever. Bryce Hall came along nicely in 2021, but it’s going to take more than one rising player at the position for Jeff Ulbrich’s defense to come around. Fortunately for New York, there are at least two cornerbacks who have a case to be top 10 worthy. - Cincinnati’s Ahmad Gardner and LSU’s Derek Stingley Jr. are both in play for the Jets in the first round. Taking either at No. 4 would be a reach, but there is a real chance Douglas writes one of their names down on his draft card when he’s on the clock at No. 10. - Would Gardner or Stingley Jr. be a better fit in New York’s secondary? Let’s take a deeper look at the answer to that question.
