Will the Jets be able to absorb the blow of losing safety Jamal Adams?
Between Marcus Maye, Bradley McDougald, and 2020 rookie Ashtyn Davis, they should be okay for the long-term.
Unfortunately, the Jets’ rebuilding project was bigger than they potentially anticipated when they drafted Sam Darnold atop their 2018 class.
The Jets have failed to find the appropriate combination on the offensive line, whether through the draft or free agency, and they obviously are hoping that Mekhi Becton can help fix that problem.
They don’t have a crew of skill position players that any of their fan base can really brag about, even with a nice value pick of Denzel Mims in the 2020 NFL Draft.
The 2021 NFL Draft is going to be a process of patience for the Jets, who have to get the best possible value at their positions of need with the new capital they have.
The cornerback position is not good in New York right now, and Patrick Surtain II would have huge expectations on him if he was picked in this slot. The Jets probably need to spend free agent money on the cornerback position in addition to looking to a player like Surtain with their top pick in the NFL Draft.
This is a guy who has shown lockdown abilities in his time at Alabama, and he’s proven that with three interceptions and 15 pass breakups in his first two seasons on campus.
