The New York Jets landed Penn State left tackle Olu Fashanu with the No. 11 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft, earning high marks Sports Illustrated.
moved back one spot in Round 1 at the NFL Draft and proceeded to make a B+ selection at No. 11 overall., the Jets secured what many pundits tabbed as the No. 2 offensive tackle prospect in this year's class. Although a healthy portion of the New York fan base was calling for a first-round offensive weapon, like Georgia tight end Brock Bowers, Sports Illustrated suggested general manager Joe Douglas made the right decision to invest in the trenches.
Projecting Fashanu to land a rookie contract worth $20.1 million over four years, SI classified Douglas's pick as B+ work. The Jets added a potential franchise player that will immediately provide insurance for the team's two 33-year-old starting offensive tackles.
