After signing Uzomah & Conklin, on a team with a plethora of holes, it seemed a little odd that the Jets would draft a TE. But the draft is about fit, upside, and overall potential, and Jeremy seems to have it. Ruckert, May have slid a half round in the draft, because of a foot injury Ruckert sustained during the Senior Bowl. Very wary, about foot injuries, but the Jets have already signed him, so it’s not a big deal. The foot injury , may have helped the Jets. In order to trade back up into the first round to obtain JJ, the Jets gave up a fifth round pick and swapped third round picks.. That third round swap was significant, the Jets sent 69 to the Titans, and got 101 in exchange, lost 32 spots in a premiere round. But some would argue that Ruckert was a second round value. I would have chosen Ruckert at 69 in a heartbeat, In a couple of years Ruckert could be deemed the best value pick in this draft. Jets got a very good player.
