Jets Trade Down, Snag Small but Skilled CB
Description
The New York Jets selected Indiana cornerback DAngelo Ponds in the second round of the draft, trading down from pick forty-four to fifty. Ponds, a five-foot-eight, one-hundred-eighty-two-pound defender, showcased impressive ball skills with thirty-three passes defended and seven interceptions. He held his own against top talent in the Big Ten and demonstrated speed and tackling ability. However, his smaller size raises questions about his ability to compete with taller, more dominant corners. The Jets passed on other options, including Clemsons Avieon Terrell and six-foot-two Davison Igbinosun, setting up potential debates about the pick.
