11. New York Jets
Mekhi Becton | OT | Louisville
The Jets have some solid veterans at both tackle spots, but they needed a long-term solution, particularly on the left side to protect their investment in Sam Darnold.
Becton is a massive mountain of a man who destroys his opponents and tosses them out of the club on a regular basis. Questions about a flagged drug test at the NFL Scouting Combine clearly didn’t keep the Jets from spending a premium pick on him.
Becton has some boom-or-bust to him, but the upside is massive. He’s Darnold’s franchise left tackle. Tristan Wirfs was higher on my board, but Becton may be a better fit on the left side.
