Jets general manager decided to circle back to the offensive line with his third fourth-round selection, selecting Charlotte offensive tackle Cameron Clark with the 129th pick.
A first-team All-Conference USA selection in 2019, Clark also won team MVP honors at Charlotte in 2017 — a rare accomplishment for an offensive lineman. Clark took over as Charlotte’s starting left tackle as a redshirt freshman and never relinquished the job, starting 12 games in 2018 and 13 last season.
Clark is New York’s second offensive line selection of the draft, joining Louisville offensive tackle and first-round pick Mekhi Becton. With more protection for Sam Darnold now in the bag, the Jets can turn their attention to addressing other positions of need, such as cornerback, EDGE, and interior offensive line.
