The Jets added some help on both sides of the ball on Day 2 of the NFL Draft on Friday.

Gang Green selected LSU tight end Mason Taylor in the second round and then grabbed Florida State cornerback Azareye’h Thomas with their third-round pick.

Taylor is the son of Hall of Fame player Jason Taylor, who starred for years for the Dolphins but spent the 2010 season with the Jets. Taylor, 20, now returns to the area 15 years after his father was part of the last Jets team to make the playoffs.

Taylor said he remembers living in Manhattan and going to Central Park with his family.

Shough, 26, was considered by some teams to be the most game-ready of all the quarterbacks available after Cam Ward went No. 1 overall.

All eyes have been on Sanders since he fell out of the first round — then the second and third on Friday night — and it appeared that a prankster preyed upon the Colorado product’s hopes of being selected after seemingly getting hold of his number.
