Could the Jets take a tight end in the first round?
As I previously detailed, Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda seemingly has a pretty strong source (or set of sources) within One Jets Drive. Due to that, I personally take notice whenever Pauline speaks about the New York Jets and the rumors that he’s hearing.
The most recent comes in his post free agency mock draft, where he selected tight end Tyler Warren to land with the New York Jets at pick 7. Pauline makes clear that this is not because he has a high opinion of Warren but because of what he’s hearing, going as far as to the write the below.
I loathe making this pick considering the other options available, but everything I’ve heard points to the Jets being infatuated with Warren to the point that they are trying to set up multiple meetings with the tight end.
From my perspective, the Jets could do way worse than Warren at 7, but there likely will be better options. In Pauline’s mock draft, I would’ve personally preferred to see the Jets take Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders or Boise State running back Ashtyn Jeanty among others who were still on the board when the Jets picked in this mock draft.
What do you think? Are you hoping this rumor is true or false?
