Many mock drafts had the New York Jets taking a tight end with the seventh pick of the draft. The Jets got their tight end, it just took a little longer.
The Jets, who took offensive tackle Armand Membou in the first round, selected LSU tight end Mason Taylor in the second round. Taylor is the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor who played for the Jets (seriously, the longtime Miami Dolphins defensive end spent his second-to-last season with the Jets).
The Jets passed on Brock Bowers last year in the draft and passed on Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland in this draft, both times to take offensive linemen.
