Heading into this year’s draft, it was no secret the Jets needed to upgrade their offensive line. After improving one of their guard spots by acquiring Kelechi Osemele via trade from the Oakland Raiders, the Jets’ top priority in the draft was finding a promising tackle prospect.
They hope they’ve found that in Edoga, a high-upside player who still has his best football ahead of him.
An impressive athlete for his size, Egoda’s physical tools and potential are the big reasons why he landed on Day 2 of the 2019 draft. His film showed plenty of inconsistency, but his flashes of brilliance were enough to convince the Jets he can be molded into a starting-caliber blocker sooner than later.
