This is the fourth in a series of features on the 2017 NFL Draft. Today's position: Safety. The Jets' roster synopsis is followed by five players considered top candidates in the deep middle:
The Jets have a good mix of young experience in their current safety group. Despite injuries, Calvin Pryor and Marcus Gilchrist still started together in 24 of the Green & White's 32 games in 2015-16.
And as a result of those bumps and bruises last year, Rontez Miles graduated from being just a gung-ho special-teams force to make four starts on defense and becoming the only Jet on either side of the ball to play at least 300 snaps on both offense/defense and on specials.
