After finishing up their draft on Saturday, the Jets continued to add via the undrafted free agent market.
The Jets’ undrafted free agent tracker includes 18 players as of now and could grow as they invite players to participate in their rookie orientation this offseason. Two of the Jets undrafted free agents had draftable grades by many evaluators, while the rest are more underdogs when it comes to sticking.
Here are five undrafted free agents with the best chance to make the roster.
WR Greg Dortch, Wake Forrest
Of all the Jets’ undrafted free agents, Greg Dortch has the best chance of making the team.
Dortch was one of the most electric players in college football during his time at Wake Forrest. He is a natural fit in the slot; his lack of size, standing at 5-foot-7, is made up for by his toughness over the middle.
He has the hands and speed to become a future NFL starter in the slot. Dortch compares to current Jet Jamison Crowder. Learning from him and adding some electricity to the return game should be Dortch’s role in 2019 and beyond.
RB Jalin Moore, Appalachian State
Jalin Moore seems to be a natural fit in the Jets backfield and certainly has a chance to fight for a roster spot this summer.
Moore had a fifth-round pre-draft projection due to his physicality in the running game. He is a hard-nosed runner and a bruiser after contact. Moore excels in the passing game but needs to become a better pass-catcher at the next level.
He presents the perfect complement to both Trenton Cannon and Elijah McGuire, which will make for an interesting battle come camp.
EDGE Jabril Frazier, Boise State
The Jets added their edge of the future in Jachai Polite on Day 2 of the draft, but that doesn’t mean they’re done adding at the position.
Jabril Frazier has the size, standing at 6-foot-4, athleticism and versatility. He may need to add 20-25 pounds to move up to defensive end in a 3-4, but he certainly has the toughness to man the trenches at the pro-level.
Over the past two seasons, Fraizer compiled 138 tackles, 24.5 tackles for a loss and 18 sacks. His stats and talent make him an intriguing prospect, but the odds may not be in his favor due to surgeries to repair his knee, shoulder and ankle following his 2016 season.
OT Wyatt Miller, Central Florida
With 47 career starts, Wyatt Miller is an experienced, proven leader on one of college football’s better teams in UCF.
Miller, at 6-foot-4, has the size, speed and technique to be an asset in the NFL. He is a developmental right-tackle prospect who will also get consideration at guard. Considering the Jets are still looking for depth on the line, Miller certainly stands a chance.
OL Tyler Jones, North Carolina State
Tyler Jones was a projected sixth-round pick, so it was surprising to see him go undrafted.
Jones possesses the athleticism to keep up with ACC level edge rushers, as well as the versatility to play both left tackle and guard at the college level. If he is able to add some weight, he should be in the mix to be a depth piece due to his versatility.
