New York Jets
Needing an offensive tackle or a wide receiver, the Jets had a perfect scenario at No. 11 overall. They opted for the left tackle in Louisville’s Mekhi Becton, giving Sam Darnold his blind-side protector and banking on the depth of this year’s receiver class.
That depth came through for the Jets in the second round, where they traded back 11 picks and still landed a borderline first-rounder in Baylor’s Denzel Mims. They landed a pair of great value picks for the defense in the third round with Cal safety Ashtyn Davis and Florida edge defender Jabari Zuniga.
This was a strong showing across the board from the Jets, who got great value at every spot, and filled some of their biggest needs with blue-chip prospects who will make an immediate impact at key positions.
