How early in the NFL draft should the NY Jets address their OT need?

New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas has done a commendable job through his first three offseasons of improving the Jets offensive line. The biggest concern for the group at the moment is arguably the depth at tackle.

The Jets currently have two offensive tackles they can feel confident in: George Fant and Mekhi Becton. This offseason, they lost Morgan Moses to free agency, a 16-game starter from a year ago. That leaves Conor McDermott as their primary backup tackle at the moment.

It should be a priority for Douglas and his staff to acquire a young offensive tackle in the NFL draft who can come in as a backup early on.
