The Jets complete the Leonard Williams trade by drafting their future starting center at the top of the third round. In Matt Hennessy’s final collegiate season at Temple, he was named third-team Associated Press All-American, first-team All-American Athletic Conference and a finalist for the Remington Trophy as one of the nation’s best centers in 2019.

Adding Hennessy to the middle could allow the Jets interior offensive line to start taking shape. The addition of Hennesey would push Connor McGovern out to right guard, while Greg Van Roten can fill into his natural position at left guard. Alex Lewis would serve as the Jets’ primary interior depth piece, while New York can afford to part ways with Brian Winters.

The Jets did a good job of adding credible placeholders in free agency, but they need to continue to build up young depth inside. Adding two potential starters in the first two days of the draft certainly does that.
