Mel Kiper has eyes on Brock Bowers for Jets with No. 10 pick
NY Post
Jets general manager Joe Douglas has a difficult decision to make with the No. 10 pick on April 25 at the 2024 NFL Draft.
ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has the Jets taking Georgia tight end Brock Bowers in his latest mock draft, but Kiper acknowledges the Jets could take an offensive tackle instead … but not at 10.
“I could take either one — Bowers or the lineman,” Kiper said in a Zoom call with reporters Thursday.
“If I’m going to take the lineman, I’m going to trade off of 10. If I’m taking Bowers, I’ll take him at 10. If I really want Bowers, you take him there. If you want a lineman, I think you can move off of 10. The key there is getting a second-round pick back. Right now, the Jets don’t have one. They could move down and get that second-round pick back and still get a really good offensive lineman as the sixth man. That would bet the thought process for me.”
It is a fascinating debate.
Do the Jets need to get Aaron Rodgers more protection or more playmakers?
