How much can the Jets improve with their two first round picks in 2021?
It's no secret the Jets are in full rebuild mode after they traded QB Sam Darnold to Carolina for a sixth-round pick this year and a second and fourth in 2022. Active in free agency, the Jets worked to shore up their defensive front adding DT Sheldon Rankins, OLB Carl Lawson, DE Vinny Curry and LB Jarrad Davis.
Offensively, they added a high-priced wideout in Corey Davis and a more affordable option in Keelan Cole.
But the New York roster is devoid of a starting quarterback, which is where GM Joe Douglas will begin with their second overall pick.
"I would expect the Jets to identify their quarterback which we assume is going to be Zach Wilson and then two put weapons around him to allow him to play at a higher level," said Brooks.
In possession of a second first-round pick at 23rd overall, there is a difference of opinion as to the direction they'll take later in the draft's opening round.
"We can lock in the fact that they're going quarterback at two and pass rusher with their second first-round pick," said Orr. "I think Robert Saleh wants to round out that defensive front with Sheldon Rankins, Quinnen Williams, Carl Lawson and add that final piece to that defensive line. So I think they go quarterback and pass rusher."
The Jets are also likely to consider cornerback, a position that is devoid of viable talent on their roster right now. Offensive line could be another consideration to get more protection for the new franchise signal caller.
"I think you could say (cornerback) Greg Newsome would make some sense there at 23 out of Northwestern, who's somebody that's just long and rangy and can really play the football, which is going to help pretty much any scheme," said Jeremiah. "But that is what Saleh is accustomed to, having those bigger guys. So he would make sense there. You've got the edge rushers, which I think that's a pretty good spot for an edge rusher if you're interested in one, whether that's a guy like (Azeez) Ojulari, Greg Rousseau, see what happens with (Jaelen) Phillips. Those would be opportunities there."
The Jets also have three more picks in the top 86, with a pair in round three.
