Scouting the Jets: A glaring need at pass-rusher

All eyes are on Sam Darnold, but the Super Bowl drought won’t end this year. Darnold is going to make mistakes and experience some growing pains. The Jets hope he doesn’t experience much physical pain though, especially behind a line that’s projected as one of the worst in the league. The Jets allowed 47 sacks last season, tied for the seventh most. But Darnold has shown mobility and awareness, which are important traits to have on this team. He also has a good veteran and pro to learn from in last year’s starter Josh McCown. The Jets have no standouts at the other skill positions.
