NY Jets swing for the fences and select monstrous OT Mekhi Becton

The NY Jets have officially selected Louisville offensive tackle Mekhi Becton with the 11th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. It may be the outcome that many had expected going into Thursday night, but it’s not exactly how fans expected to get to this point.

As the draft continued to unfold, the board repeatedly fell in the Jets’ favor. So much so that the Jets not only had one offensive tackle available when they picked, but they had two.

Aside from Becton, Iowa’s Tristan Wirfs was available as the powerhouse offensive linemen fell all the way to No.
