The Jets bolstered their defense with their first pick on Thursday night and then addressed their offense with their second pick.
The Jets selected Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq with the No. 16 overall pick, giving new offensive coordinator Frank Reich and quarterback Geno Smith a weapon.
Sadiq had 51 catches for 560 yards and eight touchdowns for the Ducks last season and was a second-team All-American. The 6-foot-3, 241-pounder ran a 4.39 40-yard dash.
Sadiq has the ability to line up as a receiver and is a versatile football player who the Jets can move around the formation.
The Jets just drafted Mason Taylor in the second round a year ago, so they now have a pair of athletic tight ends.
The Jets passed on wide receivers Makai Lemon, Omar Cooper and Denzel Boston to take Sadiq.
