The Jets agreed in principle to a trade that will send Raiders Pro-Bowl guard Kelechi Osemele and a sixth-round pick to New York in exchange for a fifth-round pick.

Osemele helps upgrade the left side of the Jets offensive line, which was in desperate need of a makeover. James Carpenter’s season and Jets career ended prematurely due to injury, while Spencer Long did a mediocre job filling in.

For now, Mike Maccagnan has just bolstered the Jets offensive line without having to get into a bidding war, while only taking a 56-slot drop on Day 3 of the draft. It was a savvy move by the GM, one that will allow the Jets to focus elsewhere once free agency begins.

In the meantime, let’s get to know the newest member of the Jets offensive line.
