When the New York Jets acquired quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers, part of the deal included the teams swapping picks in the first round. Green Bay moved up to No. 13, New York dropped to No. 15.
Initially, it didn’t seem like a big deal. As we got deeper into the situation and the draft, the opposite became true. The Jets wanting a top offensive tackle in this draft was one of the worst-kept secrets in the NFL. Had one of Paris Johnson, Peter Skoronski or Broderick Jones been available at No. 15, the Jets were grabbing him.
