“Alright, already, the show goes on…”
The New York Jets shift back to defense with their single Fifth Round selection(154th Overall). Jeremiah George is an inside linebacker, who many projected as a sixth-to-priority free agent candidate.

The Jets can afford to move towards need in the later part of the draft, and find a player to help backup an aging veteran in David Harris or even play some time on the outside, in relief of Calvin Pace.
Thoughts:
I like that George runs with purpose—great motor to the ball. He needs to learn to take better angles, though. He’s built more like a defensive back, perhaps gaining the call because of versatility. Good football IQ; you notice his instincts on tape.
