The Jets selected CB Kyle Wilson out of Boise State with the 29th pick of the first round of the NFL Draft.  Wilson is a tad small at 5’10″, 190 pounds but he runs a 4.4 40 which makes up for his lack of size.  Wilson played in 14 games (all starts) with Boise State last season and he made 43 tackles, broke up 4 passes, he had 3 interceptions (98 return yards) and he forced 1 fumble.  Wilson can also help out on special teams as he returned three punts for TDs in his career at Boise State.  The great thing for Wilson is that he will not have to come in as a rookie and start with Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie as the starters.  He will be working in a lot of nickel and dime packages as a rookie.  Wilson played in 50 games (44 starts) in his four years in college and he had 160 tackles, broke up 27 passes, had 11 interceptions and he forced 2 fumbles.  Wilson will be a starter down the road for the Jets who got a nice value pick here.
