The New York Jets are better than they were a few days ago. But how much better?
Jets offensive tackle Olu Fashanu, the No. 11 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, is introduced in Florham Park, N.J. on Friday, April 26, 2024.is about to reach its conclusion with the final round of the NFL Draft on Saturday. And while there’s still a significant amount of work to be done — the Jets are scheduled to make five more picks on Day 3 — we largely know who the main contributors will be to the 2024 team after they made two big picks on the first two days of the NFL Draft.
There’s an argument to be made that Douglas shouldn’t have had to pick a tackle here after drafting one in 2020 in Mekhi Becton and another last year in Carter Warren. But it’s better to get it right now than never. Plus, Douglas once again proved that he knows how to work the trade market during the draft, extracting multiple picks out of Minnesota to move down a pick i n the draft from No. 10 to 11.
But he didn’t until the start of the third round, when he moved up seven picks to grab Corley who was projected by The Athletic as the 11th-best receiver in this pass-catching-rich draft. Plus, in an offense where yards after the catch have been an unrealized priority, snagging one of the best in college football in doing just that — there’s a reason he’s known as the “YAC King” — should give this offense a much-needed boost.
