FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) The New York Jets head into the third day of the NFL draft with three more picks and plenty of needs to fill.

After going with Ohio State linebacker Darron Lee as the team's first-round selection with the 20th overall pick Thursday night, the Jets surprised some by drafting Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg in the second round Friday night.

It appeared New York might try to add a pass rusher at that spot, which they did in the third round with Georgia's Jordan Jenkins. But with Ryan Fitzpatrick still a free agent and in a contract stalemate, the Jets took Hackenberg, who set the school marks for career passing yards, completions and touchdowns.

On Day 3, New York is likely to look to add depth on the offensive line, at cornerback and perhaps at tight end.
