So start with the secondary the Jets are loaded at safety, starters to role players and even a couple of developmental players making this position not a NEED. not to mention signing a safety in Jordan Whitehead who looks to claim one of the starting roles. also the corners on this roster have depth and starting qualities maybe not all fans agree but the value is there. signing of DJ Reed looks to garner one starting role. Michael Carter II looks to be the man at nickel role leaving questions is Bryce Hall a starter and if not, who? this could be another position that is not a NEED.
rumors questioned early about the linebacker group, that were cemented by some press conferences that CJ Mosley and Quincy Williams lead the backers heading into 2022. two former college safeties drafted and converted to safety are expected to have bigger roles next season with Jamien Sherwood to be the middle "MIKE" role with both Williams and Mosley. there is some thought that the Jets could go a similar route to 2021 draft by drafting a safety or two and convert them to linebacker one name to watch out is Miami (OH) safety Sterling Weatherford who already has been noted through the Jets senior bowl roster listed as a LB. don't expect too many draft picks used for this position group. there is a notion that the Jets like Leo Chenal and his above board athleticism.
on defense the main situation was the rotation established on the defensive line. a lot of miss placed talent to a new scheme that had fans wondering who will be safe and who will be gone this free agency. Foley Fatukais a known run defender is gone and to this point only edge rusher Jacob Martin who is considered a lighter defensive end has been brought in. the Jets are likely to run a two formation based defensive front. 4-3 under and Wide 9. Carl Lawson is expected to be a part of training camp. Jacob Martin the new guy will have a role in the Wide 9 defensive front but what about 4-3 under, probably not. questions on where JFM will play is still unknown but his edge defensive end role can be solved during the draft. what is expected? the expectation is that EDGE won't be a top first round selection unless one player is available, but there is also talk about trade flexibility with one or both top picks. EDGE prospects both could be considered early day 2 gets in Minnesota's Boye Mafe and Penn Stat's DE/LB who was listed as EDGE DE for the senior bowl Jessie Luketa who out played what was expected he could do. the real question right now is JFM, Lawson, and Q. are three 4-3 under starters. Jacob Martin is the Wide 9 DE, so wouldn't addressing the IDL be a top of the team's list. Could a Jordan Davis be that guy, what about Devonte Wyatt or Perrion Winfrey? Maybe even Travis Jones from UConn. These position groups should be interesting to watch how it plays out on day one and day two of the NFL Draft.
