The Jets signed McKinley on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The 2017 first-round pick out of UCLA has struggled to find his place in the NFL, but he's been given a new opportunity by the Jets. McKinley most recently played for the Rams in 2022, recording just one total tackle across four contests (23 total snaps). Now that McKinley has inked a deal with New York, he'll likely be competing for a depth role on the Jets' defensive line as the offseason progresses.

John McKechnie drops his final mock with the draft set to get underway. The intrigue starts with the 49ers at No.3 on Thursday, where San Francisco could have something up its sleeve.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
2018
2017
The UCLA product appeared on his way to a prolific career after posting six sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery as a rookie, but a lingering shoulder injury and overall floundering production in two seasons since resulted in Atlanta passing on
McKinley's fifth-year option. He accounted for only 3.5 sacks across 14 appearances during 2019, while his skills in defending the ground game remained far from elite. He has never registered 30 tackles in a season despite playing nearly 1,200 defensive snaps the past two years, leaving the Falcons to wonder if he's enough of a difference maker to command a
lucrative long-term deal. If there's sign of a potential breakout campaign, it's that McKinley generated 13 QB hits last year and only came down with 3.5 sacks. Should he prove capable of
closing more opportunities in 2020, he may find himself possessing excellent leverage.

Making push for roster spot
McKinley is making a strong push to make the Jets' 53-man roster with his strong play this preseason, Michael Nania of JetsXFactor.com observes.
ANALYSIS
McKinley ranks sixth among edge rushers in both get-off time and pass-rush win rate during the preseason and has also been stout against the run. The 2017 first-round pick has impressed with his new team after signing with the Jets in June, and he has a path to meaningful playing time if Haason Reddick continues to hold out.
