New York Jets NFL draft picks 2024: Full list of team's round-by-round selections
Here is a 2024 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the New York Jets:
Round 1 (No. 11 overall, from Vikings) — Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State: GM Joe Douglas picks up a fourth- and fifth-rounder to move back one spot in the Minnesota deal. Then, rather than add more weaponry for QB Aaron Rodgers, 40, Douglas, who's always valued O-linemen, takes the Nittany Lions’ 2023 All-American. An especially good pass blocker, Fashanu (6-6, 312) should be this team's left tackle of the future ... and maybe even the present if free agent addition Tyron Smith, 33, who hasn't played a full season since 2015, breaks down again. Fashanu was a high school teammate of Caleb Williams. Draft tracker
Round 3 (65, from Panthers) — Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky: The Jets trade up to the top of Round 3 for the two-time All-Conference USA star, who has been widely compared to Deebo Samuel – both due to his size (5-11, 215) and ability to make huge plays after the catch. Corley averaged 90 receptions, 11 TDs and more than 1,100 yards as a receiver over the past two seasons and, like Samuel, occasionally takes direct handoffs. Corley will probably have to expand his route-running prowess, but little question he can make things happen right away, especially between WRs Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams. Draft tracker
Round 4 (134, compensatory selection from Ravens) — Braelon Allen, RB, Wisconsin: Allen's one of the biggest running backs in the class at 235 pounds and one of the youngest (he'll turn 21 in January). He's a bruising back who thrives in short yardage but has the speed to make a quick cut and go. He's not as elusive but, paired with Breece Hall with the Jets, offers a different skill set and the pass blocking to stay on the field on third down. Draft tracker
Round 5 (171, compensatory selection from Eagles) — Jordan Travis, QB, Florida State: Travis suffered a left leg injury in 2023 that cut his standout season short. He led a turnaround at Florida State and became one of the most prolific passers in program history. His size is a concern, even with his dual-threat ability, as is his ball placement and consistency. Draft tracker
Round 5 (173, compensatory selection from Chiefs through 49ers) — Isaiah Davis, RB, South Dakota State: One round after taking one of the best backs in the class, the Jets double down with selecting Davis. The former Jackrabbits standout has plenty of college production behind a line featuring multiple future NFL players. But there's little need for a running back with limited special teams value as a rookie at this spot considering the board. Draft tracker
Round 5 (176, compensatory selection from 49ers) — Qwan'tez Stiggers, CB, Toronto Argonauts: Stiggers is an incredible story who's now made it to the NFL. But as far as a talent goes, this is a massive reach for someone who played semi-pro football in 2022 before joining the CFL in 2023. He has solid size and great athleticism but will need a lot of development. Considering the other more ready-made corners on the board, this was a rough way to end Round 5. Draft tracker
Round 7 (257, compensatory selection) — Jaylen Key, S, Alabama: Brock Purdy has made the title of "Mr. Irrelevant" a little more relevant recently. The Jets hope they've found another unheralded prospect with the draft's final pick. Key, 24, spent the first four years of his collegiate career at UAB. Draft tracker
