The Jets have the luxury of the No. 10 overall pick despite being a relatively complete team should quarterback Aaron Rodgers return to form next season. Who will they select to complete the team's two-year window to compete for a championship with Rodgers at the helm?

Brock Bowers
In this particular situation, the most luxurious pick the Jets could make here is at the tight end position — where they do need some help. Bowers has been the most commonly mocked candidate in this position considering the Jets' unique situation. But his odds have slipped over the weeks as more and more candidates have come out of the woodworks. The consensus best tight end in college football the last few seasons — perhaps over the last decade — will be a surefire contributor to any team he joins, barring injury, which bothered him last season.
The issues here are the financials of the draft. The value add of drafting a highly touted tight end are minimal — the top of the market for tight ends pale in comparison to offensive tackle and quarterback. So, the team that drafts Bowers highly has to be sure that he's a home run to get the same value as a B+ offensive tackle, given the pricing models.
Rome Odunze
Former Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze could go higher than this — but if he slips to No. 10, Rodgers wouldn't be mad, either.
