30. <p>Once again I consider Vic Beasley, but once again I opt for a wide receiver. New head coach Todd Bowles was named assistant coach of the year in large part for his ability to squeeze quality play out of a rag tag group of linebackers. Off season additions have ensured that the secondary and defensive line in New York are just as strong as what he hand in Arizona, allowing gang green to focus on offense with their first pick.</p> <p>Yes, the Jets traded for Brandon Marshall, but at age 31 coming of a season that saw him hampered by injury I think the Jets could seek out reinforcements. West Virginia’s Kevin White exploded onto the college football scene in 2014 after a relatively quiet 2013 as a first year transfer.  White ran a variety of routes and lined up both inside and outside, but his one-year production creates a potential learning curve, making him an ideal candidate to be groomed behind Marshall and last year’s free agent addition Eric Decker.</p> <p>The 6’3, 215 pound White was considered a physical possession receiver who could box out and out jump corners on contested throws. Then he blazed a 4.35 in the 40 yard dash at the combine showing off his potential as a deep threat. The key for White will be getting that speed to show up on the field as he didn’t exactly blow past opponents at West Virginia.</p> <p>The Jets willingness to sign three of the market’s top cornerbacks, (Revis, Cromartie and Skirne) shows that they understand that two quality starters isn’t enough in the pass happy NFL. They’ve got the defensive side locked down, and with White, they secure the offensive side of the ball and give Geno Smith the best chance to succeed. </p>. WR. West Virginia. Kevin White. 6. player
