The New York Jets reportedly hoped to find a trade partner at No. 3 overall in the 2019 .
They didn't find one, but Gang Green did unearth a stellar defensive line prospect in Alabama tackle Quinnen Williams.
The mammoth 6-foot-3, 299-pound behemoth immediately adds power and might to a strong Jets front boasting quarterback-wrecker Leonard Williams, Henry Anderson and Steve McLendon.
"He's both strength and quickness," another scout told McGinn. "Plays with leverage and can pass rush. He gets a shoulder, man, I'll tell you what, you're going to take a ride with him because he's taking you right back to the quarterback."
Said a third scout of Williams: "He's so slippery. You can't ever get your hands on him. He's a sneaky quick guy for his size. Is he going to be Aaron Donald? No. Is he going to be a really good pass rusher and run-down player? Yes."
Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan was overt about wanting to shop the pick for extra selections, but consider this a blessing in disguise. What's not to like about adding a talent many considered the finest defender in the draft?
With Sam Darnold under center and Le'Veon Bell behind him -- and an increasingly rugged defensive lineup -- the Jets are hoping eons will pass before they again pick at No. 3.
