DETROIT -- The New York Jets drafted Penn State tackle Olumuyiwa "Olu" Fashanu with the 11th pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit.

The Jets draft focused almost entirely on offense, including dual-threat quarterback Jordan Travis, but they also added some defensive depth in the later rounds. Here are the seven players the Jets drafted:

Fashanu was named 2023 Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year and AP First Team All-American. He was a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, which recognizes outstanding academics, community service and on-field accomplishments.
