The New York Jets selected Penn State offensive tackle Olu Fashanu with the 11th pick in the NFL draft Thursday.
The pick came after the Jets traded down one spot from No. 10, in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings that involved the switching of first-round spots and middle round picks as well.
The selection of the 6-foot-6, 312-pound Fashanu gives the Jets depth on their revamped offensive line and added protection for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The Miami Dolphins selected Penn State edge rusher Chop Robinson with the 21st pick in the draft.
General manager Chris Grier used his first opening-round pick since 2021 to bolster a defense that saw a mass exodus of talent this spring. Robinson figures to immediately fill a need for new Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver with his first-step quickness and athleticism.
Robinson, who is 6-foot-3, 254 pounds, had 60 tackles, 11.5 sacks and three forced fumbles over three college seasons. Robinson could get playing time immediately because of Miami injuries.
