With all of the talk surrounding Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson and whether or not the Jets should be working to retain the speedy receiver, another player who isn’t garnering nearly enough attention is left tackle Kelvin Beachum, whom the Jets should also look to bring back if they’re serious about doing all they can to protect and build around Sam Darnold and avoid a potential disaster.
Beachum isn’t the elite franchise left tackle that Jets fans would prefer to protect Darnold’s blind side, but he’s a steady veteran who offers a safety net if the draft’s top three tackles are gone within the first 10 picks, leaving the Jets shut out in round one and forced to overdraft another tackle or wait until round 2 or 3 to find a player who is likely to be more of a project.
