These queries and more will find resolution throughout the 2024 NFL Draft, spanning from April 25 to April 27.
Jets’ general manager Joe Douglas expressed confidence about their position, citing anticipation for the upcoming selections. The team eyes ten prospective players they’re eager to acquire.
Commencing with the 10th overall pick on Thursday, the Jets are slated to make seven picks across the 257-pick event. Following the first-round selection on Thursday, their next pick won’t be until the 72nd spot overall on Friday, as they relinquished their second-round selection in last year’s trade for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The Jets hold five picks on Day 3, including the final pick (No. 257 overall), securing the distinction of drafting “Mr. Irrelevant” through a compensatory selection.
