CB Derek Stingley, Jr., LSU

He's been someone widely pinned on the Jets in early mock drafts thus far, as Robert Saleh's defense could certainly use another corner who can grow in this rebuild.

Stingley was a five-star recruit and the top high school player in the 2019 class, and arguably the top corner in this defense-heavy draft. He's physical yet refined in his technique that yields production, as his six interceptions showed in 2019.

Injuries and coaching changes didn't help solidify his case the past two seasons, but Stingley is someone believed to be a solid press corner who hasn't reached his full potential.

S Kyle Hamilton, Notre Dame

There are Swiss Army knives and then there's Hamilton, a "unicorn-caliber player" as The Draft Network's Kyle Crabbs called him.

The Fighting Irish truly used Hamilton in any way they could, and no that wasn't a detriment to his growth through college. He is just that talented and instinctual on the field that he can play from the line of scrimmage to the very back as the last line of defense.

At 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, Hamilton has the ability to do whatever he wants in Saleh's defense. And that's what this unit needs: An overall playmaker who can wear different hats and make plays all over the field. In seven games this year, Hamilton had 34 combined tackles, three interceptions, and four passes defended.

OT Evan Neal, Alabama

The Houston Texans at No. 3 overall (at least right now) could use some offensive line help, and Neal could be their target. If he falls to the Jets, though, it'll be hard for Douglas not to want to solidify his tackle positions for at least the next five years in front of Wilson.

Neal is a freak of nature athletically, and standing at 6-foot-6, 360 pounds, he's played both tackle positions for the Crimson Tide. Like Mekhi Becton, don't let the size fool you. He's fast with his hands and legs, and insanely powerful in run blocking.

Imagine having Becton, Alijah Vera-Tucker, and Neal on the same line -- three young players who can develop as a unit together. You win the game in the trenches and Douglas knows that. Neal is arguably the best tackle in this draft, so he has to be considered.
