Jets 2011 Mock Draft

Jets 2011 Mock Draft (1st three rounds)

Round 1 (No. 30 overall) – Akeem Ayers, OLB, UCLA
- The Jets need to add some youth to their defensive front seven and Ayers fits that bill. He’s athletic, can get to the quarterback, and has shown the capability to drop back into coverage. The only question is whether he will still be on the board when the Jets pick at No. 30. If he’s available, the Jets should pull the trigger.

If not him, then… Phil Taylor, DT, Baylor
- The Jets have a need on the defensive line and Taylor is a prototypical nose tackle in the 3-4 defense. He could be a great pick for the Jets at No. 30.

Other possibilities: 
Muhammad Wilkerson, DL, Temple
Cam Heyward, DE, Ohio State
Brooks Reed, OLB, Arizona

The Jets do not own a Round 2 pick (traded to San Diego for Antonio Cromartie)

Round 3 (No. 30, No. 94 overall) – DeAndre McDaniel, S, Clemson
- Safety is another one of the Jets’ several needs. They can add a playmaker here with McDaniel.

If not him, then… Randall Cobb, WR, Kentucky
- With question marks surrounding their receiving corps, it may behoove the Jets to select a receiver with this pick.

Other Possibilities:
Ahmad Black, S, Florida
Marcus Gilchrist, CB, Clemson
