The Jets are by no means a finished product heading into the 2020 draft. With eight picks – as of now –  Joe Douglas can upgrade various positions across the roster in his first draft as general manager.

Douglas touted “flexibility in the draft” to explain his frugal free agent spending. Now that mindset will be put to the test. He did a good job filling a few holes at various positions this spring by signing and retaining experienced players at inexpensive rates, but there are some areas he needs to infuse with young and exciting prospects.

The Jets obviously won’t target interior defensive linemen, quarterbacks or safeties early in the draft, but it wouldn’t be shocking for Douglas to find players for those positions if they’re the best player on the board later on. But if he’s smart, he will target the positions that truly need attention first.

Here are the Jets’ top five needs entering the draft.

Offensive tackle

Joe Douglas did a phenomenal job adding quality linemen in free agency at relatively inexpensive prices, but the Jets still need to bring in a young tackle to completely upgrade their protection for Sam Darnold. The Jets only have two true tackles on the roster between 2019 third-round pick Chuma Edoga and newly-signed George Fant. Both could turn into competent starters for the Jets in 2020, but Douglas would be better off grabbing a tackle early in the draft to hedge his bets and build for the future.

There’s a chance the Jets won’t get a shot at either of the four best tackles in the first round of the draft, but that shouldn’t stop Douglas from selecting one with any of his first four picks. If the quartet of Jedrick Wills Jr., Tristan Wirfs, Andrew Thomas and Mekhi Becton all go before the Jets’ pick at 11, tackles like Josh Jones, Isaiah Wilson, Austin Jackson and Ezra Cleveland should also be targets for New York.
