Robert Saleh’s first season as Jets head coach featured some steps in the right direction, but New York still finished dead last in the AFC East and concluded 2021 without a single win in divisional play.
The good news for the Jets is that hope always springs eternal during the offseason. Free agency and the draft are prime opportunities to add talent and New York is positioned to do just that in this year’s draft. Gang Green currently owns two top 10 picks at Nos. 4 and 10, giving Joe Douglas the chance to land two potentially elite talents to serve as centerpieces for his rebuild.
Draft Wire has the Jets focusing on defense in its latest three-round mock draft. Four of New York’s first five picks are projected to be defensive players, with all levels of the defense being addressed.
Let’s take a closer look at who Draft Wire has the Jets picking during the first two days of the 2022 NFL draft.
