Mel Kiper Jr. has the New York Jets selecting Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams with the seventh overall pick in his latest mock draft. But this pick has raised some eyebrows, as Williams is considered a raw prospect with a lot of development ahead of him.
Williams has the physical tools to be a dominant pass rusher in the NFL. He’s got good size and athleticism, and he plays with physicality. But he’s still raw as a pass rusher, and he needs to develop a more consistent repertoire of moves.
Taking Williams at pick seven might be a reach for the Jets. They have other needs on their roster, and they could be better served by selecting a more polished player who can make an immediate impact.
Kiper’s pick has sparked debate among Jets fans. Some believe that Williams has the potential to be a star, while others think the Jets should go with a safer pick. Only time will tell if Kiper’s prediction will come to fruition.
