Jets go offense, offense and more offense around Aaron Rodgers throughout the NFL draft
The New York Jets traded down and got a protector. General manager Joe Douglas kept wheeling and dealing throughout the three days of the NFL draft as the Jets focused mostly on the offense to improve a unit that was among the league's worst with quarterback Aaron Rodgers missing all but four snaps last season. Rodgers is back from a torn left Achilles tendon and Douglas used free agency and then the draft to solidify things around the four-time NFL MVP. The Jets took Penn State offensive tackle Olu Fashanu at No. 11 overall after trading down one spot with Minnesota on Thursday night.

Expert Commentary
Fashanu is an extremely talented, high-upside prospect that gets to come into a situation where he gets to work with Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses. When healthy, Fashanu is clearly one of the most talented players in the draft and has a chance to be a fixture on the offensive line in New York for years to come.

Corley has a chance to be a monster after the catch in the NFL. He’s a great addition to a room that already has Mike Williams and budding superstar Garrett Wilson. Wilson and Corley are a good duo to build around for the future.
