13. O'Cyrus Torrence, IOL, Florida
The New York Jets general manager already spent two first-round picks on Mekhi Becton and Alijah Vera-Tucker, while also making significant investments in George Fant, Connor McGovern and Laken Tomlinson.
Yet New York's offensive line still isn't settled. Clearly, Douglas places an emphasis on trench play, and his approach shouldn't change simply because some of those previous moves may not have exactly worked out in the Jets' favor.
Florida's O'Cyrus Torrence is the class' top-graded guard prospect. He's a ready-made NFL blocker to provide a physical presence along the offensive interior.
"Torrence was dominant at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette and replicated that level of play this season after a big step up in competition in the SEC," Thorn said. "At 6'5" and nearly 350 pounds, Torrence has the size and power to deliver knockback power and create movement in the run game with a strong anchor in pass protection.
"In an NFL slowly morphing into more of a power-oriented game, Torrence fits into that style while offering some juice as a puller to thrive inside a gap-run scheme. The Jets are a more zone-oriented team but do mix in gap concepts and would be wise to incorporate even more, with Torrence and Vera-Tucker offering the skill set to do both at a high level.
"Torrence does have some question marks about striking and connecting with his hands consistently against shifty, sub-package pass-rushers. However, the Jets' play action-centered system limits those scenarios and allows him to lean on his strengths."
The 33rd Team (1/9)
13. Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State

13. Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern
