There are two statements that can coexist in the same universe when it comes to the New York Jets and their 2022 NFL draft strategy:
- The Jets absolutely need to plan for the future and improve their offensive tackle depth.
- The Jets don’t need to use a first-round pick to do that, and considering the holes on their roster, they shouldn’t use a first-round pick to do that.
I’ve previously spoken at length about why the Jets cannot draft a tackle (or any offensive lineman for that matter) in the first round, which you can read about here.
