NFL mock draft 2016: A potential long-term replacement for D'Brickashaw Ferguson

Even though the Jets have traded for left tackle Ryan Clady, to replace the retiring D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Clady isn't a long-term solution for them.

He turns 30 in September, and injuries (foot and ACL) have limited him to just 18 games over the past three seasons combined (30 games missed).

Would the Jets still draft an offensive tackle at No. 20 overall?

It is entirely possible. The Jets' right tackle, Breno Giacomini, struggled last season. He turns 31 in September. The Jets would save $4.375 million against the salary cap by cutting him.
