New York Jets

24. player. 30. . EDGE. New York. Edge rusher

The New York Jets defense is good. There are a lot of pieces there worth getting excited about. That said, they aren’t a great defense. Something still feels like it’s missing. The biggest thing is a true edge rusher. This is something the Jets haven’t had in ages. There’s a reason they tried to trade for Khalil Mack a few weeks ago. He was the missing piece to this puzzle. As they prepare to take on Tom Brady and other top QBs, it’s likely this problem will become more and more pronounced. They won’t find another Mack on the market, but it’s possible they could at least get some help if they wait for the right opportunity.
