NFL Draft 2020: Complete first-round mock, post-free agency
The New York Jets have finally found a franchise quarterback in Sam Darnold. The next step for them is to find some reliable targets for him.
Jamison Crowder is a great receiver but is considered a No. 2 potential target. Their other top wide receiver from the past season in Robby Anderson is now with the Carolina Panthers.
This past season, CeeDee Lamb caught 62 receptions for 1,327 yards and 14 touchdowns. He will be a completely reliable receiver for Darnold and the Jets.
Last season, the Jets were 29th in the league in passing yards per game (194.4). Lamb’s elite speed and reliability as a wide receiver make him a great receiver to be the star in New York.
They also gave up 52 sacks last season, which is fourth-highest among all teams in the league. The Jets might go for offensive tackle Andrew Thomas if they feel that tackle is an absolute necessity.
