The New York Jets entered the 2021 offseason with a need at both guard spots, but here in mid-May, only one of those two spots has been filled with a clear-cut replacement. Alijah Vera-Tucker is set to take over as a starting guard (presumably on the left side) after the Jets traded up to nab him with the 14th overall pick, but the guard spot opposite Vera-Tucker remains a question mark.
Greg Van Roten currently appears slated to maintain the right guard spot, where he started 13 games last year. Van Roten enjoyed a very good middle of the season, but he started the year atrociously and finished it playing at a below-average level.
