Jets 2024 Mock Draft Roundup: Penn State OT becoming favorite among experts

After a disappointing, injury-riddled season, the Jets are in a great position to grab an impact player for the 2024 season with the No. 10 overall pick.

General manager Joe Douglas could look to improve the protection around 40-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers, or could decide to draft a playmaker to give the QB another weapon on offense.

Here’s who the experts believe the Jets will select in their latest mock drafts…
