2022 NFL draft: Jets trade pick to Steelers in latest CBS Sports mock

Robert Saleh’s first season as Jets head coach featured some steps in the right direction, but New York still finished dead last in the AFC East and concluded 2021 without a single win in divisional play.

The good news for the Jets is that hope always springs eternal during the offseason. Free agency and the draft are prime opportunities to add talent and New York is positioned to do just that in this year’s draft. Gang Green currently owns two top 10 picks at Nos. 4 and 10, giving Joe Douglas the chance to land two potentially elite talents to serve as centerpieces for his rebuild.

In its latest mock draft, CBS Sports has Douglas sending the 10th pick to the Steelers, who in turn select Liberty quarterback Malik Willis. The hypothetical trade leaves the Jets to draft a wide receiver who likely would have gone higher if not for an injury at No. 20.

Let’s take a closer look at who CBS Sports has New York picking in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft.
