The New York Jets have made many exciting moves this offseason, and their general manager Joe Douglas might make another one with a significant trade for the 2024 NFL Draft.
Bleacher Report’s Joe Tansey suggested several trade options for the Jets before this year’s draft. Some involved the Jets trading back to get more draft picks, but the most interesting one was about the team moving up to the No. 8 overall pick, ahead of the Chicago Bears .
Tansey thinks the Atlanta Falcons, who have many offensive weapons, could be the right team to negotiate with. He mentioned that the Jets might need to give up a good amount to move up two spots in the top 10. The cost might keep them at No. 10, but a deal involving two or three picks might be worth exploring if they can add Rome Odunze, Malik Nabers or another top wide receiver.

They are meeting with former Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis as part of their research on the former top QB who is recovering from a season-ending leg injury.
