The New York Jets have been making moves this offseason in preparation for the 2024 NFL Draft.
While they may not have made as big of a splash as they did last year with the trade for Aaron Rodgers, the Jets have been active in addressing key positions of need.
They have taken risks on talented players like left tackle Tyron Smith and wide receiver Mike Williams, who have had injury concerns in the past.
The upcoming draft is touted as deep in talent at positions where the Jets need help the most. With the No. 10 overall pick, the Jets are in a good position to add a foundational player to their roster. Although they do not need a quarterback, they are keeping an eye on the top signal-callers expected to go in the early picks.
One option the Jets are exploring is the possibility of trading down in the draft to acquire more assets.
ESPN’s Rich Cimini reported that the Jets are open to receiving trade proposals from teams looking to move up for a quarterback. Teams like the Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, and Las Vegas Raiders could be potential trade partners.
With only two picks in the top 100 selections, the Jets are eager to add more picks to increase their chances of finding impact players.
The pressure is on for the Jets to perform in the 2024 season, as they have invested heavily in building a competitive team around Rodgers. Acquiring young talent in the draft is crucial for their short- and long-term success.
The Jets are aware that they will face competition in acquiring more picks, as many teams are looking to bolster their roster through the draft.
However, they are ready to make deals and are hopeful that luck will be on their side come draft day.
