The sneaky consequences of NY Jets’ first-round pick swap

The New York Jets finally completed their trade for Aaron Rodgers.

While the primary components of the deal are a 2023 second-round pick (No. 42 overall) and a conditional 2024 second-round pick that has a high likelihood of transferring to a first-round pick (Rodgers must play 65% of the Jets’ offensive snaps in 2023), there was an interesting quirk thrown into the deal: a first-round pick swap in 2023.

The two teams are situated very close together in the draft order, so it’s a relatively trivial pick swap. Green Bay will move up into New York’s No.
