Jets 2024 NFL Mock Draft: Talented tackle taken at No. 10; Aaron Rodgers backup selected in 7-round mock
The New York Jets had high hopes for the 2023 season, but unfortunately, they finished with a record of 7-10 for the second year in a row. Their aspirations of winning the Super Bowl were cut short early in the season due to an Achilles injury that veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers sustained in the first game. This marks the fourth consecutive year the team ended the season with ten losses.
The Jets are now looking ahead to the NFL Draft in April as they plan for the team's future.
The team finished with 268 point score while allowing 355 points, they finished 31st in yards per game at 268.6, and struggled at home and on the road, going 4-5 at home and 3-5 on the road.
New York Jets look to build up on offense in 2024 Draft
For the 2024 NFL Draft, the Jets should look into offensive tackles, a backup quarterback, wide receivers, guards, and defensive tackles. New York holds five draft picks this year. There will be no trades in this Mock Draft.
Jets Mock 10. . OT. Taliese Fuaga. Oregon State. Taliese Fuaga. 10. player. 516. Scouting Report
Taliese Fuaga had a phenomenal 2023 year at Oregon State. He stands at an impressive 6'6 and 334 pounds. When he erupts off the snap, he does so with unhinged tenacity. He constantly seeks to bury defenders, making him an excellent space blocker. New York could benefit from his skills, especially since Aaron Rodgers is returning from a season-ending injury.
