The New York Jets started day three of the 2022 NFL draft by using a fourth-round pick (111th overall) to select Max Mitchell, an offensive tackle from Louisiana.
It was fair to anticipate an offensive tackle being added by the Jets at some point in the draft. The team lost a key 16-game starter from a year ago in Morgan Moses. While George Fant and Mekhi Becton are in place as good starters, both are coming off an injury. Not to mention, the depth behind Fant and Becton was a concern before the selection of Mitchell.
