The New York Jets took care of their biggest need in the first round
Marshall Newhouse Jersey Bills , drafting USC quarterback Sam Darnold with the No. 3 overall pick.
They head into Day 2 with just one selection 鈥?a third-rounder 鈥?on Friday after trading their two second-rounders to Indianapolis last month as part of a deal to move up three spots from No. 6.
The Jets will likely focus on adding either a pass rusher or depth on the defensive or offensive lines with the 72nd overall pick. Outside linebackers Jeff Holland of Auburn, Ogbonnia Okoronkwo of Oklahoma and Mississippi's Marquis Haynes could be targets for New York.
A few days before the draft, general manager Mike Maccagnan wouldn't rule out trading to add more selections.
The Jets were very active in free agency this winter, signing 16 players, including cornerback Trumaine Johnson
Jim Kelly Jersey , running back Isaiah Crowell, linebacker Avery Williamson and wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (one year, $4.5 million). They also re-signed seven of their unrestricted free agents.
New York still has plenty of holes to fill on the roster, but the largest was taken care of with the selection of Darnold. After Cleveland took Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield with the No. 1 pick and the Giants selected Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, the Jets were in position to take the quarterback who had been in the running to go first in the last several months leading up to the draft.
The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles bolstered their formidable pass rush with another top-level defensive lineman.
The Eagles acquired three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Bennett from the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday
Custom Chicago Bears Jersey , three people familiar with the trade told The Associated Press. The deal won't be officially announced until the NFL's league year opens next Wednesday. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the trade information.
Seattle gets wide receiver Marcus Johnson and a fifth-round pick, while Philadelphia also receives a seventh-round pick.
Bennett had 8 陆 sacks last season and 54 in his nine-year career. The 32-year-old Bennett has three years remaining on his contract, with a base salary of just $1.65 million in 2018. That number jumps to $6 million in 2019 and $7.5 million in 2020.
The Eagles will have to make roster moves to accommodate Bennett because they already are over the salary cap. Defensive end Vinny Curry is a likely candidate to be traded or released. Curry started 19 games this season, including playoffs, had three sacks and has three years left on a five-year
Authentic Nathan Shepherd Jersey , $47 million deal.
Bennett joins a deep front unit that includes Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, Derek Barnett, Chris Long and Tim Jernigan. He probably won't face double-teaming as much and could thrive in defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz's aggressive system.
The outspoken Bennett has been heavily involved in social activism and fits in nicely in Philadelphia's locker room with Long and safety Malcolm Jenkins, who are leaders in those areas.
Seattle could be moving on from another defensive star. Cornerback Richard Sherman also is on the trading block.
Johnson has five catches for 45 yards in 10 career games.
