The New York Jets have addressed some main wants through the offseason however they nonetheless have loads of work to do within the NFL Draft.
Lots has modified because the final time we did a mock draft for the New York Jets. GM Joe Douglas stuffed quite a lot of holes in free company, including Laken Tomlinson, D.J. Reed, C.J. Uzomah and Tahir Whitehead to enhance key areas of want.
The Jets had been additionally poking across the Tyreek Hill market earlier than getting rebuffed for the Miami Dolphins so there’s a likelihood that New York pulls a giant commerce earlier than the draft if it might probably discover an influence huge receiver to assist Zach Wilson attain the following stage. Assuming all the Jets’ picks keep put, right here’s a take a look at how they will assault their remaining wants within the draft.

Douglas and head coach Robert Saleh just lately met with the media and indicated that among the best methods to defend in opposition to a $30 million receiver is to hit the quarterback. The Jets had been additionally one of many heaviest bidders on Chandler Jones in free company earlier than the star cross rusher picked the Raiders, a very good indicator that they’ll tackle their edge rush with this decide.
There are motivation questions with Thibodeaux, who has seen his inventory slip from surefire high decide firstly of the season to doubtlessly sliding out of the High 10 fully. New York will do loads of homework on Thibodeaux however the expertise he possesses remains to be elite, giving the Jets a shot at a dominant cross rush by pairing him with Carl Lawson.

This decide might be shopped if the Jets wish to entice a staff in search of a quarterback to leap as much as 10 but when New York stays put they will fill their want for an X-receiver right here. Ohio State’s Wilson is the very best huge receiver prospect within the draft thanks largely to his elite pace.
Including a real home-run hitter in Wilson to go together with Corey Davis, Elijah Moore and Braxton Berrios would give the Jets all kinds of weapons to efficiently run Mike LaFleur’s system. Investing in a large receiver with the tenth decide makes a ton of sense.
