The New York Jets exchanged draft picks again, as they traded their #63 overall (2nd round), #89 overall (3rd round) and #191 overall (6th rounf) for Green Bay's #47 overall (2nd round) and #235 overall (7th round). Then, with their #47 overall pick, the Gang Green selected LB David Harris from Michigan.
According to ESPN's Draft Guide, David Harris, 6'2", 239 lbs, is the third best inside linebacker in the draft. He has good instincts and great motor. He, however, lacks in pass coverage skills and speed (ran 40 yards in 4.59 seconds at the Scouting Combine).
In 33 games at Michigan, Harris started 25 times. He closed out his career with 196 tackles (136 solos), 4.0 sacks for minus-29 yards and 20 stops for losses of 68 yards. He caused 3 fumbles and recovered another. He gained 8 yards on an interception return and also deflected 4 passes.
Overall, this is a solid pick, as the Jets chose a quality player and someone who can play inside in their 3-4 defense.
This trade left the Gang Green with only two selections in this Draft. They will be picking again tomorrow in the 6th (#177 overall) and 7th (#235 overall) rounds.
