The Jets are in good shape on the offensive line entering 2022.
Alijah Vera-Tucker enjoyed a standout rookie season, George Fant was quietly impressive throughout 2021 and Connor McGovern had a nice bounceback year. Mekhi Becton missed almost the entire season with a knee injury, but he is set to return with immense potential yet again next season. And then there is free agent signing Laken Tomlinson, who is fresh off a Pro Bowl season with the 49ers.
New York’s offensive line might seem set, but that is not the reality for the unit — especially at tackle. Becton is difficult to count on after his injury-riddled first two seasons with the team and Fant might be out the door sooner rather than later with an expiring contract.
Does that mean the Jets will invest in a tackle in the 2022 NFL draft? Here are six Joe Douglas could target if he chooses to go down that road.
