Cornerback
Cornerback is one of the positions the Jets improved the most at this offseason. Keeping Brian Poole, signing Pierre Desir and trading for Quincy Wilson have the unit primed to drastically improve in 2020.
Considering the low bar the cornerbacks on last year’s roster set, that is not saying much. Desir, Poole and Wilson can make sure the group is better than it was last year, but that is not going to be enough to contend. The Jets need more to get to that point.
There is no true No. 2 cornerback opposite Desir right now. Even Wilson has a lot to show in training camp to prove he can turn his career around. If the Jets wind up having to rely on Wilson, Bless Austin — who found himself planted on the bench at the end of 2019 — or fifth-round pick Bryce Hall to consistently produce as starting corners, they could be in trouble this upcoming season.
