The New York Jets hold the No. 10 overall selection in this week's Draft. Will they use it to bolster their offensive line depth or opt for an offensive playmaker that promises to make an immediate impact?
In fact, one year ago, the Jets used the No. 15 overall pick to bolster what was a position of depth on the defense. Iowa State edge rusher Will McDonald, who played, spent his rookie season sitting behind the likes of John Franklin-Myers, Jermaine Johnson and Bryce Huff.
"I think it's a positive thing if you have enough depth on your team, so that a draft pick doesn't have to come in and play right away," said New York general manager Joe Douglas during last week's pre-draft press conference in Florham Park. In 2022, the Jets made three first-round selections. Cornerback Sauce Gardner and receiver Garrett Wilson immediately established themselves as starter en-route to NFL Rookie of the Year awards, but the aforementioned Johnson spent his first NFL campaign as a fringe rotational edge rusher.If New York opts for an offensive tackle at No. 10 overall, that player likely, initially, fits in asTyron Smith and Morgan Moses.
"I would say that just about anyone we draft, it's going to be a dog fight to break into the starting lineup. I think there's a lot of good players. Warriors like Conk and Ruck , they're not going to go quietly into the night if we took a tight end," said Douglas.
