FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets traded down and got a protector.
Then they traded up and grabbed a playmaker.
General manager Joe Douglas kept wheeling and dealing throughout the three days of the NFL draft as the Jets focused mostly on the offense to improve a unit that was among the league’s worst with quarterback Aaron Rodgers missing all but four snaps last season.
“It honestly just fell that way with the board,” said Douglas, who used the first five of New York’s seven picks on offensive players.
Rodgers is back from a torn left Achilles tendon and Douglas used free agency and then the draft to solidify things around the four-time NFL MVP.
The Jets took Penn State offensive tackle Olu Fashanu at No. 11 overall after trading down one spot with Minnesota on Thursday night. After not having a second-rounder, New York traded up seven spots with Carolina in the third to lead off the round by selecting Western Kentucky wide receiver Malachi Corley.
