It feels like half the best players in the league are all pass rushers. If the priority is to get better at offense, you have to start with keeping your QB upright - and we’ve been miserable at that for years now.
I know Belicheck screwed the Jet’s plans last year trading with the Steelers - but JD has gotta find a way to get it done this year
With the number of highly touted QB’s this year like Williams, Maye, Nix, Daniels, & Penix Jr., the Jets will likely be able to find a partner to trade down with.
If there are enough tackles like Fashanu, Alt, Fuaga, Latham, or Mims available that could be worth it, although I lean towards just taking the tackle you want (I like Fashanu & Alt) and taking a QB that falls.
We don’t know exactly who’ll declare for the draft but it seems to be loaded at QB. If the Jets can grab the offensive lineman they like in the first round, they can probably still get a guy they like to sit behind Rodgers. After the 5 QBs I mentioned there are still guys like Ewers, McCarthy, Gabriel, Beck etc. Guys like Hartman & Pratt have also been getting a lot of attention. If Jordan Travis declares he’ll probably be around a little later in the draft too due to his injury.
I’m not a big college football fan so someone please correct me if I’m wrong, I just think we can probably grab the OT we want and still able to draft a talented QB that can sit and learn behind Rodgers given how deep this draft class is at QB.
