LAST SEASON: Jets won opener against Oakland, then things went bad in hurry, ultimately costing coach Rex Ryan and GM John Idzik their jobs. QB Geno Smith struggled through his second season, eight-game skid derailed playoff hopes early, and lack of depth at key spots, particularly cornerback, made for one of worst years in franchise history.
THEY NEED: QB, pass-rushing OLB, pass-catching RB, WR.
THEY DON’T NEED: TE, DT, C, PK.
POSSIBLE FIRST PICK: Oregon QB Marcus Mariota, Clemson OLB-DE Vic Beasley, Florida OLB-DE Dante Fowler, Nebraska OLB-DE Randy Gregory.
OUTLOOK: Might be tough for Jets to pass up Mariota if they stay put and he’s still there at No.
