Jets Pivot to a Different TE Later in the Draft

Tight end was one of the biggest needs for the Jets heading into the draft. Warren was one of the most popular mock draft picks for Gang Green in the first round.

The Jets opted for protection over playmakers. However, they immediately followed that up in the second round with the No. 42 overall pick selecting LSU tight end Mason Taylor.

Jets offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand was giddy when talking to Taylor minutes after he was selected on the phone.

“I couldn’t be more excited than I am right now. Welcome to New York, buddy! Hey, we’ve got a great plan for you, man. You’re going to fit in perfect here. This is going to be fantastic. We’re so excited about this man,” Engstrand said.
