The New York Jets traded the 10th overall selection in the 2024 NFL draft, along with pick No. 203, to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for picks No. 11, No. 129 and No. 157.

The league is increasingly recognizing that pressure up the middle can be as, if not more, impactful than pressure from the edge.
