Jets make big roster upgrades in 2019 NFL draft

The Jets had so many roster holes and depth concerns to address going into Nashville — too much to adequately solve with just six picks over three days. But GM Mike Maccagnan and his Florham Park brain-trust, for the most part, took care of business.

Going into the draft, most Jets fans knew about the dearth of talent at offensive and defensive lines, edge rusher, wide receiver, and cornerback. And they whiffed on finding a center, flanker or cover corner. Many Jets fans and analysts are still stewing over such sins of omission.

But it would be wrong to categorize the franchise’s meat-and-potatoes moves as a “meh” draft.
