As the rounds ticked down in the 2022 NFL draft I was fully expecting the New York Jets to take a defensive tackle at some point. They had addressed the defensive end position with the selections of Jermaine Johnson and Micheal Clemons, but the defensive tackle position remained untouched by the time New York made its last pick.
Despite not addressing defensive tackle in the draft, it is still hard to argue that the Jets don’t have plenty of depth on the defensive line. The Jets currently have 17 defensive linemen signed to the roster.
