Aaron Rodgers, a four-time MVP veteran quarterback, has already given the New York Jets’ team an energy boost. They didn’t end up just doing that; instead, the team enhanced their offense by selecting some of the best players available in the NFL 2023 draft.
The long-awaited trade between the Packers and the Jets on Rodgers came into like a sunny daylight recently. The trade satisfied the demands of both parties and Aarons’ desire to join the Jets team after spending 18 years with the Packers and leading them to win a Super Bowl in 2011.
Who are the Jets’ draft picks to help them build a roster around Aaron Rodgers?
The Jets have undoubtedly begun to float in the sky since having the four-time MVP on the team. The team is currently searching for the best draft prospects to bring in before the season to give A-rod the best team to fight for in order to have a blast, also solidifying themselves as the best contender.
Joe Tippmann
With the No. 43 overall pick on Friday night, the Jets strengthened their offensive line with the pick of Wisconsin center Joe Tippmann, regarded as one of the top two centers in this draft. As a senior in high school, he received First-Team All-State recognition from the Associated Press for his incredible pure strength and athleticism.
Protection coming up front 💪
