In exchange for the Cleveland Browns' second-round pick, New York traded them WR Elijah Moore and their third-round pick. This indicates that the Jets will now make back-to-back selections with picks Numbers 42 and 43.
Their initial seventh-round pick, along with nose tackle Steve McLendon, was traded to Tampa Bay last season. The Jets were given Tampa's sixth-round selection in 2022 as compensation.
A sixth-round pick is available for the Jets, but it is not their own. They made a conditional trade for running back James Robinson in which they sent the Jacksonville Jaguars their initial sixth-round pick.
The Jets would have surrendered their 143rd overall choice in the fifth round if Robinson had carried for 600 yards or more throughout the season. Robinson did not get that many yards on the ground, so the Jets traded their initial sixth-round pick for the 185th pick.

There are rumors that Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers wants to play for the New York Jets this season which is one of the most exciting prospects for the team. If the Jets can make use of their Draft picks wisely they can have a squad that can overcome their playoff drought.
