Jets trade down a spot and then take Penn State offensive tackle Olu Fashanu at No. 11 in NFL draft
The New York Jets went with protection over a pass catcher with their first-round pick in the NFL Draft. Penn State offensive tackle Olu Fashanu was selected at No. 11 overall by New York after the Jets traded down one spot Thursday night. “I'm just excited about Olu,” general manager Joe Douglas said. The pick came after the Jets dealt the No. 10 overall selection to the Minnesota Vikings — who took Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy.

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.
