Elijah Moore

There were many NFL insiders saying that Moore was the No. 4 receiver on many draft boards, though the draft process didn't go that way, as he was the sixth wide receiver off the board. The Jets are a franchise that's transitioning right now, and it helps that Moore is coming in at the same time as new franchise quarterback Zach Wilson, as they'll likely be close with one another. It's somewhat of a crowded receiver corps right now, so we may not see an immediate impact, but it shouldn't be too long, as you don't draft a player at the top of the second round without some sort of plan to use him.

Elijah Moore selected No. 34 by New York Jets

The New York Jets have selected wide receiver Elijah Moore with the No. 34 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

The Jets add a physical slot receiver to a wide receiver room that now has its arrow pointing up. A room of Corey Davis, Elijah Moore, Denzel Mims, and possibly Jamison Crowder is a vast improvement on what the Jets trotted out in 2020. Moore should be one of the more prolific rookies once he gets on the field and is the favorite to be starting in the slot role before the year is over. New York gets a steal in someone who was widely discussed as a potential first round pick. A threat every time the ball is in his hands, Moore could become a special player for the Jets.
