The New York Jets moved up in the NFL draft again and added another speedy playmaker to their offense, taking Iowa State RB Breece Hall with the 36th overall pick after the team acquired it in a trade the Giants
After doing a Zoom interview with reporters, Hall made his way to the draft site. Wearing a Jets cap, Hall was allowed to walk on to the stage — both arms raised as fans in attendance cheered — and received a celebratory hug from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The Wichita, Kansas, native could form a potentially potent 1-2 combination in the Jets' backfield with Michael Carter, a fourth-rounder last year who led the team in rushing. New York also has veteran Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson, La'Mical Perine and Austin Walter on the roster. General manager Joe Douglas has made it his mission this offseason to surround second-year quarterback Zach Wilson with more playmakers to help boost his development — and the offense's production. Hall fits the bill, as does Ohio State wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who was the No. 10 overall pick Thursday night.
When asked Thursday night if the Jets had a high grade on a player who hadn't yet been drafted, Douglas replied: “Absolutely, yes. Absolutely.” Judged by Hall of Famers, All-Pro and Pro-Bowl honors, star power and depth of class, here is a look at the greatest NFL draft classes of all time.
