New York Jets: Final 7-Round 2019 NFL mock draft continues quick rebuild
By Randy Gurzi
Round 4, Pick 105: Iman Marshall, CB, USC
Currently, the Jets have Trumaine Johnson and Brian Poole as their starting corners, which isn’t terrible. They could do much worse, but they could also use more depth behind them — and possibly someone to push Poole who has been better as the third corner throughout his career.
Still, their duo is good enough to keep New York from reaching earlier in the draft. They finally do add someone here though in Iman Marshall out of USC. Marshall started all four seasons he was at USC and finished his career with 218 tackles and six interceptions.

All six of his picks came in his first two seasons which may have hurt his stock seeing as how his ability to make a play on the ball started to wane some. He did still prove to be around the ball as he recorded 19 pass breakups in those two years.
Marshall boasts the perfect size for playing corner at 6-1 and 207 pounds but there were whispers about him moving to safety at the next level mainly due to questions about his speed. He did what he could to quiet that noise, putting up a respectable 4.53-second time in the 40-yard dash, which shows his wheels may not be the issue some believed them to be.
