If Marcus Mariota is not available by No. 6 overall, many expect the Jets to take a pass rusher. However, it's been rumored that New York could take Amari Cooper as well. Considering Brandon Marshall is 31 years old, Cooper makes sense for the Jets despite the addition of Marshall over the offseason.

If New York does elect to take a pass rusher, it's likely going to be Shane Ray out of Missouri. The Jets' defensive line would be be a marauding unit with Ray added, but this pick will not go over well unless the QB is off the board.

T.J. Clemmings has been expected to go somewhere in the middle of the first round for the most part, but reports now indicate there's a few teams that could reach down into the top 10 in order to obtain his services. If the Jets take an offensive lineman with this pick, prepare for the apocalypse in Florham Park, the Meadowlands, Cortland, Hofstra and even Flushing. Pretty much anywhere the Jets have ever played will be in turmoil, no matter if the pick is warranted or not.
