3 years agoThe New York Jets selected Florida State defensive end Jermaine Johnson II with the No. 26 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft on Thursday. The Jets traded picks No. 35, 69 and 163 to the Tennessee Titans in order to bring in Johnson. The Titans gave them picks No. 26 and 101 in exchange. Johnson was a late riser up draft boards leading up to Thursday's first round, and some people thought he might even sneak into the top five. The Jets have had a really good first round of the draft, taking cornerback Sauce Gardner at No. 4 and wide receiver Garrett Wilson at No. 10. Johnson is scary athletic at 6-foot-5, 254 pounds, as evidenced by his 4.58-second 40-yard dash. The 23-year-old should be a candidate to start right away for Gang Green and could wind up being a steal.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
