The Jets made their second trade of the offseason involving 2024 draft picks on Monday, sending QB Zach Wilson and a seventh-round pick (No. 256) to the Broncos in exchange for a sixth-rounder (No. 203). Earlier this spring, the Jets acquired T Morgan Moses and a fourth-round pick (No. 134) from the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for a fourth-round pick (No. 111) and a sixth-rounder (No. 185).
Here is a review of the seven selections the Jets hold at the moment:
Round 1 – 10th overall
The Green & White have selected 10th three times in their history highlighted by the additions of Wisconsin WR Al Toon, a Ring of Honor member, in 1985 and Ohio State WR Garrett Wilson, the 2022 Offensive Rookie of the Year, two years ago.
Round 3 – 72nd overall
Without a second-round pick, the Jets won't pick again after the first round until early in round three. The team has selected 72nd twice since 2010. In 2018, the Green & White picked DT Nathan Shepherd from Fort Hays State, and in 2013, they selected Kent State G Brian Winters.
Round 4 – 111th overall & 134th overall (via BAL)
The Jets have a busy Day 3, starting with making their own pick in the fourth round (No. 110 overall).
As a part of Wednesday's trade, the Jets swapped Denver's fourth-round pick (No. 113), which was acquired by New York via trade for DE Jacob Martin, for Baltimore's fourth round selection (No. 135). The Jets will pick 135th overall, which they haven't done since 1998.
Round 6 – 185th overall & 203rd overall
Following a trade with Denver, the Jets will now have two picks in the third round. The Green & White retained their own selection (No. 185) and added pick No. 211 from the Broncos. The pick received from Denver was also held by Houston and Cleveland. The Green & White have drafted 211th three times before in franchise history.
Round 7 – 257th overall
The Jets will make the final pick in the draft – one of the three compensatory picks they were awarded and the only one the team still currently controls. The only other time the Jets had the last pick in the draft was 1969 when they picked DT Fred Zirkle out of Duke. In 2022, the 49ers took Iowa State QB Brock Purdy with the "Mr. Irrelevant" selection which is the moniker given to the last pick of the draft.
