This is where the Jets begin, needing to fill holes with impressive talent, not JAGs.
1 STARTING FRANCHISE QB
3 CBs - 2 capable of press coverage & with 6' or better height. No, McDougle is not going to be an answer for even one of those open slots. Sorry, but that's a hard truth you'd better get used to.
1 FS - ball hawking is a lost art in NJ.
1 OLB - a blue chip, to replace Pace and compliment Coples & Davis.
2 WRs, depending on Harvin's future in NJ. (Decker & Kerley are the only 2 viable WRs on this team, other than Harvin.) Shaq & Q are still unknown quantities at this point..
4 OL - a RT and a LG - though HYATT™ believes BullDozier comes into his own this season - & a Center and LT in grooming, for now.
1 TE - a blocking TE capable of Heath Miller pass-catching level ability.
A baker's dozen is the starting point, with likely success in only 3-4 draft picks, leaves as many as 9 UFAs that will have to be brought in.
It's just not possible, in a single season, to rebuild this much.
A good start, with the amount of money in the bank, would be to pick up LG Justin Blalock, who was just released from ATL for cap reasons. He was due over $7M this year and over $8M in 2016.
130 of a possible 133 starts, the guy has only missed 2 games as a rookie in '07 and 1, (and a half), last season.
Iupoti is no better and will cost considerably more due to his SF pedigree.
In the draft, Darren Waller could functionally be classified as a light TE, at 6'6" | 238#, with plenty of frame to add 10# and still keep his 4.45s speed & 37" vertical.
His skills performance measurables are considerably better than any TE prospect in this year's draft.
Currently ranked as a Rd 5-6 WR selection, thinking out of the box gets the Jets a TE-functioning player in the red zone with the bulk to beat press coverages and out-leap and go toe-to-toe with any LB in coverage
PS: He is 4th in the line of run-offense oriented GT WRs that included Calvin Johnson, Demaryius Thomas, & Stephen Hill - but is the only one to serve his full 4-year commitment out as a Yellowjacket.
As HYATT™ mentioned in another thread, the other Georgia prospect, (Bulldogs this time), is Chris Conley, who - until he really woke people up at the Combines - was also ranked as a 5th rounder.
His impressive vertical and 40 in Indy likely will boost him well into the 3rd round at least, if not higher, by draft day.
Consider him the 2015 version of such 6'-2" | 210+ lb. WR prospects as Martavis Bryant & Donte Moncrief with 4.35s speed and an un-fukkin'-be-liev-able 45" vertical.
If NFL pedigrees mean anything to you, there are 2 WR prospects in this year's draft who's fathers also played WR quite well in the NFL.
1.) UCF WR Breshad Perriman, son of a multiple 1,000 yard seasons WR in DET, Brett Perriman. (Who was about a foot shorter than his son, as it happens.)
2.) Utah WR Dres Anderson - son of the NFL single game reception yards record holder, Willie "Flipper" Anderson, of LA Rams fame.
3 other WRs and one TE, (Maxx Williams), also had NFL fathers, though at different positions than they currently play.
