Well, who the heck knows. Last year linebacker Oscar Lua out of USC was taken with that same pick by the Patriots, and we all know how that worked out -- no Super Bowl title for New England! Maybe the 211th spot is jinxed?
As things stand today, the Jets will have that 211th pick at the end of April, a seventh rounder. As the NFL announced the compensatory picks (of which the Jets have none), their assigned picks have come into focus. The Jets currently have six selections.
They have one in the first round (6th overall), one in the second (36th), two in the fourth (102 and 113, the later of which they received from the Saints for Vilma), one in the sixth (171) and one in the seventh (211). They traded their third and fifth rounders (67 and 141) to the Panthers in the Kris Jenkins deal.
Just a late-round ray of hope: The Jets found Chansi Stuckey with the 235th overall pick last year and while he spent the season on IR he had a pretty impressive training camp and would seem to have a good shot at making the team this year.
Anyone who wants to mock through 211 can feel free to do so in the comments section below.
