After adding a premier edge rusher on defense, general manager Darren Mougey made a major addition on offense. The New York Jets second pick in the first round, the team gives quarterback Geno Smith a big-time playmaker. New York needed someone to pair with Garrett Wilson<\/a> as a pass catcher. Acquired from the Sauce Gardner trade with the Indianapolis Colts, the 16th overall pick has given New York some intriguing versatility in their passing game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While many expected the pick to be used on a wide receiver, this tight end operates more like a big-bodied wide receiver. Now, working with an offensive coordinator like Frank Reich<\/a>, this tight end could be explosive with the right quarterback. Especially when paired with their 2025 second-round pick, Mason Taylor, the Jets tight end room got better<\/a>.<\/p>\n
