3 Perfect NFL Draft Fits for Kansas State OL Cooper Beebe
By Joe Summers
3. New York Jets
The Jets need to revamp almost their entire offensive line in hopes of protecting Aaron Rodgers in his return from an Achilles tear. They released left guard Laken Tomlinson in a cost-saving move earlier this week, letting go of a player who had made 114 consecutive starts.
Thus, the organization needs a player like Beebe who has proven he can play multiple positions and stay on the field. He's capable of ultimately anchoring a line as he did for two seasons at Kansas State, though he's a day one starter in the meantime and would immediately raise the floor of the Jets' offensive line.
There are concerns that poor athletic testing at the NFL Combine this week could negatively impact Beebe's stock, but that'd be a benefit for New York. The Jets don't have a second-round pick, so they need Beebe to fall to the early third or trade up to have a chance at him.
It's difficult to find potential foundational players when you're limited on resources and pushing your chips all-in. New York is in a precarious spot after a disastrous 2023. Beebe could both stabilize the present and provide hope for the future.
He'd be a slam-dunk pick for a franchise that can't afford to let Rodgers get hurt again.
