Breaking down Jets before draft: Which positions are strongest, weakest?

Lorenzo Mauldin (pictured) demonstrated pass rushing skills last season as a rookie, but he needs to become a more complete every-down outside linebacker. The Jets haven't re-signed strong-side linebacker Calvin Pace, 35. And they cut rush outside linebacker Quinton Coples during last season. The Jets are completely rebuilding at outside linebacker/edge rusher. So there's a good chance they'll address this position in the draft. But it's a mostly bare cupboard there right now.

The NFL Draft is fast approaching, on April 28-30. Before that, on Monday, the Jets begin voluntary offseason workouts, as they prepare for Year 2 under coach Todd Bowles.
