The Jets are out to put an end to their playoff drought, and with a healthy Aaron Rodgers for 2024 it only makes sense for Gang Green to bolster the offense around him.
With the No. 10 pick in the NFL Draft, the Jets have a couple of different options they can turn to, but there appears to be an overwhelming consensus on who the team will select once they are on the clock. However, there may be some ways they could get creative.
