New York Jets Select CB Kyle Wilson 29th Overall

facebooktwitterreddit

Three cornerbacks, Joe Haden, Kareem Jackson, and Devin McCourty, have all been taken before Kyle Wilson at 29th overall to the New York Jets, but only one (Haden) is justified.

Wilson was arguably the best corner in this draft, so the Jets get a real steal here by snagging him this late. They already have arguably the best corner in the league in Darrelle Revis, and recently traded for Antonio Cromartie, so adding Wilson to that mix should scare the hell out of all the receivers in the AFC East.

Revis is clearly going to be one of the starters, so there will most likely be a training camp battle between Wilson and Cromartie to see who will start across from him. I believe it should be Wilson, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see Rex Ryan allow Wilson to be a backup for a season.
