The 2024 NFL draft is fast approaching, and the New York Jets enter the offseason on the back of another underwhelming campaign in 2023. Robert Saleh's team finished third in the AFC East with a 7-10 record.
It was the 13th season in a row when the Jets failed to qualify for the playoffs. However, the New York outfit will be aiming to build a strong platform for next season at the upcoming draft.

The Jets will have their natural picks in Rounds 1, 3, 4 and 6. They will also receive the Denver Broncos' fourth-round pick (acquired via trade for DE Jacob Martin).
Moreover, the New York outfit is expected to receive two compensatory seventh-round picks in the 2024 NFL draft, which could see them end up with seven total selections.
Additional New York Jets draft picks 2024
The Jets forfeited their 2024 second-round pick to the Green Bay Packers to finalize a trade for quarterback Aaron Rodgers last offseason.
However, the trade backfired, as the veteran signal-caller picked up a season-ending injury in his very first game for the New York outfit in Week 1.
Saleh's team also dealt their seventh-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens for Chuck Clark. However, New York will receive Denver’s fourth-round pick for the deal with Martin, which took place in November 2022.
Jets' team needs in the 2024 NFL Draft
The Jets' first priority should be shoring up their O-line to protect Aaron Rodgers. They could use some additional help at WR given the number of prospects available in the 2024 NFL Draft. Two of Marvin Harrison Jr., Rome Odunze and Malik Nabers could potentially be within the Jets' reach, with several reports also linking the franchise with a move for Georgia tight end Brock Bowers at #10 overall.
