With the 11th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select… Mekhi Becton, left tackle, Lousiville. For the first time in over a decade, the Jets take an offensive lineman in the first round. It feels good to finally have a need addressed in the first round.
After years of the Jets going best player available and selecting defensive players, it’s nice to see the front office show the other side of the ball some love. The 2009 and 2010 Jets teams were built on two things—defense and the offensive line.
