Bucky Brooks has NY Jets picking unexpected OL at No. 13

Now that it’s fairly clear the New York Jets will retain their first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the question is which player they will select.

The consensus seems to be that they will go with a tackle. However, NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks chose a guard. No. 13 overall is the same spot that the Jets traded up to select Alijah Vera-Tucker as a guard two years ago.

Brooks opts for Florida guard O’Cyrus Torrence. Torrence was a popular pick for the Jets in pre-Super Bowl mock drafts but not since.
