The New York Jets select Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, Temple. At this stage there little doubt in my mind that the Jets have traded down to get themselves in the second round because there isn't a sure-fire pick here that would bring them more impact then having a volume of picks and trying to get a player like Marvin Austin or Jabaal Sheard or hoping Phil Hughes from Baylor slips. And Rex Reed is the DE/OLB a guy like Rex Ryan would love because he'll fly all over the field and he has the size and versatility to play with his hand in the ground if necessary. But Wilkerson is a big dude, nearly 6'5, 315 and could play the end or the tackle in situations. It's hard to pass up a lineman like this that had higher value.
