The Jets have the No. 13 pick in the upcoming NFL draft and they are hoping that 13 will be very lucky for them, as it has been for a few teams over the years. One of those picks turned out to be a certain defensive tackle for the Los Angeles Rams that was deemed too small.
The Jets have had the 13th pick in recent memory when they selected Sheldon Richardson in 2013.
