Running back

Every other position on this list is of far greater need, but the Jets are lacking a quality backup running back behind Le’Veon Bell. Josh Adams and Trenton Cannon are both young and very raw talents. The Jets need to invest in the position, especially considering Bell’s age, usage and Adam Gase’s use of multiple running backs in his previous stops running the offense in Miami, Chicago and Denver.

One name to watch out for late in the draft: Illinois State’s James Robinson. The Jets met with him this offseason and he would be a great complement to Bell as a mid- or late-round pick for the Jets.
