Jets select CB Kyle Wilson

With the 29th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select Boise State cornerback Kyle Wilson.

Wilson is the fourth cornerback off the board after Florida's Joe Haden, Alabama's Kareem Jackson and Rutgers' Devin McCourty. But

This is a case of the rich getting richer.

The Jets, who had the league's top-rated defense, already have Darrelle Revis, who is the league's best cornerback in my opinion, and Antonio Cromartie.

Now the Minnesota Vikings are the on the clock with the 30th overall pick.

Chargers select RB Ryan Mathews

With the 12th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers select Fresno State running back Ryan Mathews.

In 2009, Mathews rushed for 1,808 yards and 19 touchdowns. Mathews ranked second in the country in rushing yards behind Stanford's Toby Gerhart, who rushed for 1,871 yards.

While Mathews was the second running back drafted so far in 2010, his situation is more favorable than that of C.J. Spiller, who was drafted by Buffalo.

The Chargers have an explosive passing offense, which means defenses won't be able to load the box. Meanwhile, Darren Sproles is better suited for a third-down back role, which should mean that Mathews gets the bulk of carries.

Now the Philadelphia Eagles, who traded with the Denver Broncos, are the on the clock with the 13th overall pick.
