NFL Draft 2019 rumors: 'Good chance' Jets trade down from No. 3 image

The Jets must feel pretty good about the depth of defensive talent in this draft class.

There is a 'good chance' the Jets are going to trade down from the No. 3 pick, according to a report from ESPN.

The report says there is one team already under the impression the team has a deal worked out to trade down if defensive lineman Quinnen Williams is available at No. 3.

The Bills are apparently a team interested in moving up to get the pick.

New York has made some pretty big moves this offseason, including signing middle linebacker C.J. Mosley to a five-year, $85 million deal.

With the addition of a player like that, the Jets have a solid man in the middle of the defense to build around and there appears to be plenty of talent in the draft to add this year.

While there has been talk about the Jets taking Williams themselves, Ed Oliver is another player who would be very disruptive rushing from the middle of the defensive line.

There are also several pass rushers who figure to be near the bottom of the top 10 like Montez Sweat, Brian Burns and Christian Wilkins.

The draft starts at 8 p.m. ET.
