Looking to beef up their interior offensive line, the Jets snagged Miami guard Anez Cooper with the 188th pick of the draft. A massive lineman listed at 6′ 6” 345 during the season at Miami, Cooper slimmed down to 334 pounds before the combine.
Barring any shock changes, the Jets have their starting five linemen in place with Olu Fashanu, Donald Parham, Josh Myers, Joe Tippmann and Armand Membou. By adding Cooper they bring in a player with four years of experience at right guard who adds a physical people mover who has played plenty of football at a major program.
