When Joe Douglas and the Jets are on the clock with their first pick in the upcoming NFL draft, they’ll have plenty of flexibility due to the recent additions of wide receiver Mike Williams and offensive tackles Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses.
Taking an offensive tackle looked to be the most likely route Joe Douglas would pursue on draft day with wide receiver sitting at a distant second. But now such a move would present a tremendous risk.
Can the Jets afford to repeat what they did in 2023 and draft a player who may not see more than a few snaps all season? And can they do so with several veteran tackles still available to back up the likes of Moses and Smith?
JetNation radio asked that question and brought in Scott Mason of Play Like a Jet to chime in with his opinion.
