New York Jets First Round Selections Since 2000

by Josef Schaetzle (@Schaetz23)

Here are the New York Jets first round draft picks since 2000. It is obvious to see that the Jets have been looking for that devensive end that will be able to get to the quarterback on a consistent basis, but are yet to find him. Quinton Coples is still a young raw defensive end who might be able to turn into that dominant end, but only time will tell. The Jets have not had a dominant pass rusher since they drafted John Abraham in 2000.

This just shows who the Jets decided to draft and any Pro Bowl selections or other awards they received while with the Jets. There is no detail on how the Jets acquired the picks or got rid of their picks.
