By Glenn Naughton Posted On April 25, 2019

With a dearth of picks after giving up multiple second-round choices to grab Sam Darnold last season, countless experts, fans and analysts predicted a trade down.

Not wanting to pass on a player of Williams’ caliber for what they viewed as undesirable offers, the Jets didn’t trade down for the sake of trading down, and they hope to have snagged an immediate impact player in doing so.
