Denzel Boston: Jets' First-Round Target

0:00On April 2nd, in the NFL Draft, finding players who thriving your specific scheme is key to getting value and for the New York Jets, Washington-wide. Receiver Denzel Boston stands out as a prime first round target. Their offensive coordinator, Frank Reich, builds attacks around short and intermediate throws from 0-19 ariards, especially digs, and drags over the middle of the field. Reich's teams hit those zones more than average, dialing back deep shots and passes behind the line, so they need receivers who separate in traffic and haul in tough catches. Among the top wideouts on the bigboard, Boston ranks highest with a 95.8 pro football focus grade on those short to intermediate. Targets edging out guys like Omar Cooper and Carnell Tate, with 0 drops on 61 targets last year, including six of seven contested balls. His sure hands make him a lot to sustain drives in Reich's system, turning the Jets offense into a chain mover right away.
