New York Times  

The NFL Draft has ended. School 1 11 Olu Fashanu OT Penn State 3 65 Malachi Corley WR Western Kentucky 4 134 Braelon Allen RB Wisconsin 5 171 Jordan Travis QB Florida State 5 173 Isaiah Davis RB South Dakota St. 5 176 Qwan'tez Stiggers CB CFL 7 257 Jaylen Key DB Alabama GO DEEPER Jets NFL Draft picks 2024: Grades, fits and scouting reports If everything goes perfectly for the offensive line in 2024, Fashanu won’t even need to see the field. That’s not to say anything about Davis’ talent or potential, just that the Jets already drafted a backup running back one round earlier in Allen and had other depth-related needs they probably should’ve addressed here.

GO DEEPER Beat writers’ favorite 2024 NFL Draft picks: One player for every team S Jaylen Key: Backup safety competition It was mildly surprising the Jets waited until the last pick of the draft to address the safety position, but clearly they believe in the Chuck Clark–Tony Adams–Ashtyn Davis trio.
