The New York Jets have traded up into the first round of the NFL Draft, acquiring the No. 30 overall pick from the San Francisco 49ers, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
In exchange for the No. 30 selection, the Jets are sending the No. 33 overall pick and the No. 179 overall pick to the 49ers. The deal allows New York to jump back into the opening round to secure a priority target, while San Francisco moves back just three spots to the beginning of the second round while adding a late-round asset in the process.
According to Pelissero, the Jets now hold the 30th pick, positioning them to make a second selection in the first round. The 49ers, who were originally slated to pick at the end of the first round, will now hold the first pick of the second round (No. 33) unless further moves are made by the front office.
The trade marks a significant move for the Jets front office as they look to bolster their roster with top-tier talent. The 49ers continue their trend of accumulating draft capital by sliding down the board.
