It is no secret that the offensive line in New York was horrendous last season, and that is putting it lightly. This next player on the list is only realistic if the Jets trade back and gather more assets as they do not currently have a second round pick.

However, as previously mentioned, a trade out of the number three pick in the draft has serious potential to net a haul of assets for the gang green, including a second round pick in the 2019 draft.

Garrett Bradbury was a four-year starter for the North Carolina State Wolfpack, was a converted tight end, and then played three seasons as a guard and his senior year snapping to Ryan Finley and was named an All-American once throughout his career. His stock is rising as of late, and he may very well be a first round pick at the end of it all, but for now, he sits in the second.

After already releasing Spencer Long, the Jets interior offensive line is in the process of a complete overhaul. Again, Jets fans, keep an eye on Bradbury as Maccagnan will be fielding offers for the third overall pick and New York may very well find themselves picking late in the first or early in the second with the chance to grab the versatile interior lineman.
