    The first thing to notice is we loaded up on WRs. we signed 2 of them so now have a pretty solid top 4. even though 1 was on a 1 year deal he's a WR4 and can be resigned if it works out. I don't think he drafts a WR early. he wasn't loaded at WR when he won in balt or philly either and SF's system doesn't require a stud WR. Seems both JD and saleh prefer a group of solid guys over having superstars.

    We also didn't improve the o-line. the starters for 2021 will be the same as 2020. Becton, Lewis, McGovern, GVR, Fant. with the main backups being edoga, clark, and Feeny. I think he'll draft some o-line like he did with becton and build through the draft. He likes mcgovern at C so likely a RT and/or an OG

    Outside of that maybe a TE depending on where things fall. RB is 50/50 he did draft perine. we have him ty, coleman, and adams who we resigned. Most of the focus will likely be defensive players to fit salehs scheme and likely back 7 heavy. We also signed a safety and tagged maye and have davis so i'm thinking more CB then safety but probably both. The d-line is really good as it stands. I think JFM and Lawson on the outside with Q and foley on the inside is a really good front 4. we also have depth with zuniga, hall, and shepard. Maybe we take 1 d-lineman tops.

    Also after the darnold trade and with the rumors going around I think it's forgone that wilson is the pick at 2

    That puts the jets needs at

    Tier 1 needs
    QB, O-line, LBer, DB

    Tier 2
    TE, RB, D-line, WR

    Round 1 Pick 2: Zack WIlson QB

    It's obvious our top pick will be a QB. it just depends which one. Wilson could jump to 1st overall but I still think the pick is tlaw. That leaves fields or wilson. Wilson looks better on film IMO and JD seems to think so as well. He probably starts as a rookie unless we sign a vet and don't think he's ready

    Round 1 Pick 23: Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah MLB

    Jets made the switch to a 4-3 defense this offseason leaving gaping holes in the LBer group and miscast players. Mosley is expensive and never played in a 4-3 before and hasn't played in 2 years. We draft a QB 2nd overall so now we take the QB of our defense for the next decade. a rangy fast LBer who excels in zone and has sideline to sideline speed

    Round 2 Pick 2 (34OA): Alijah Vera Tucker OL

    He played LT in college but is suited best for OG in the NFL in a zone blocking scheme. a very good athlete and can start at LG right away next to becton and then lewis, GVR, and clark can battle for the RG spot

    Round 3 Pick 2 (66OA): Tyson Campbell CB

    This guy has dropped down boards and IDK why. once looked at as a late 1st early 2nd he's now looked at as a high 3rd. perfect for the jets though. durability and making plays is a concern but he's tall, fast, athletic and high motor and can benefit from coaching and playing more zone concepts. perfect fit for saleh to mold into a starter

    Round 3 Pick 22 (87OA): Rachard Wildgoose CB

    JD adds another CB to the mix with also drafted Campbell as well as bless, guidry, hall. the fact we haven't resigned poole yet makes me feel a double dip is in order. even if we do resign poole I still think we double dip. he loves mid round CBs and wildgoose plays like his name. he's tough, fast and versatile. can play zone or man but mostly played zone in college. can move inside or outside and can also play safety. a perfect swiss army knife for saleh

    Round 4 Pick 2 (108OA): Hunter Long TE

    Perfect to add with herndon and hopefully move on from griffen.


    Round 5 Pick 2 (147OA): James Wiggins S

    A versatile safety who can play either position and with only 3 on the roster We will draft one. This is probably more of a me pick. IDK if JD loves this guy but I sure do. can play slot CB, ether safety position. Strong and fast and a great locker room guy. checks all the boxes. Hey JD if you read the forums check this guy out. I'd love him on the jets

    Round 5 Pick 10 (155OA): D'Wayne Eskridge WR

    A day 1 starter on special teams who is relentless and can be a returner and a gunner. never takes plays off. a former CB who switched back and forth between CB and WR so he has a defensive mind but plays gritty and tough as a WR with a good route tree and strong hands and can be a slot guy for lafleur and take over crowders spot eventually


    Round 6 Pick 2 (187OA): Javian Hawkins RB

    A pure speed back who's electric with the ball in his hands. also a good reciever out of the backfield. fits the mold of what a RB should do in the shannahan offense. much better then his draft spot says but he's not given much love

    Round 6 Pick Pick 42 (227OA) Tony Fields II OLB

    Jets are still weak at LBer so taking a guy they can mold into a starter here makes sense with the last pick. a speedy athletic high motor rangy guy who lacks size but would be perfect in zone as the WILL. will bolster special teams as well
