Round 3 of Jets mock draft

Round 3, Pick No. 60: Tylan Wallace (WR, Oklahoma State)

The Oklahoma State wide receiver has tremendous production (59 catches, 922 receiving yards, six touchdowns) in 2020. He’s not the biggest of wide receivers at a shade under six feet. But he brings good speed and the ability to stretch a secondary whether in motion or the outside.

Round 3, Pick No. 70: Michael Carter (RB, North Carolina)

With over 1,200 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, Carter has good production to complement the Jets backfield.  There are concerns about his college workload (333 carries the last two seasons) but Carter is a strong, physical run who thrives on contact. He will find a role with the Jets from the get-go.

Round 3, Pick No. 73: Rashad Weaver (DE, Pittsburgh)

The Jets have had issues generating a pass rush the past three years and while Weaver isn’t an instant starter, he does add something to the rotation and could be a starter opposite Williams off the edge. Weaver had 7.5 sacks last season as a junior and impressed at the Senior Bowl.

Round 3, Pick No. 74: Chaz Surratt (LB, North Carolina)

A bit of a project, Surratt is a converted quarterback who has impressed on the defensive side of the ball. He’s a sharp and instinctive player to the ball who had 91 tackles with six sacks last year. He’s also proven adept in coverage. He’s a bit undersized but is an intriguing developmental piece who should crack the two-deep and make an impact on special teams.

Round 3, Pick No. 84: Sage Surratt (WR, Wake Forest)

The brother of Chazz, this Surratt is a good route runner who is shifty with impressive speed. The Jets need contributors and depth in the wide receiver room. In the former Demon Deacon, they had an athlete with outstanding production (66 catches, 1,011 yards, and 11 touchdowns) on what was a pretty poor offense.

Round 3, Pick No. 86: TRADE

Last year, Joe Douglas made a trade with the New England Patriots and he does it again this year. He sends this picking, moving back 13 spots (No. 99), and gets a fourth round selection next year. Need to continue to build depth.

Round 3, Pick No. 99: Jordan Smith (DE/LB, UAB)

The run on pass rushers continues with Smith, who had an impressive Senior Bowl to back up an impressive season in Conference USA (42 tackles, 4.5 sacks). Can play with his hand down or standing up, adding another versatile piece to Saleh’s rotation of pass rushers. He also has great length as 6-foot-7.
