Why Right Guard Is Most Wide-Open Battle in New York Jets Starting Lineup

Thanks to a litany of offseason moves, the New York Jets have addressed nearly all of their most glaring needs. If the New England Patriots weren't in the same division, it would seem all too obvious to peg the Jets as the front-runner to be a "worst-to-first" team in the AFC East in 2015.

Despite all their moves, right guard is one spot that was never filled.

There could be a battle at outside linebacker between rookie Lorenzo Mauldin and veteran Calvin Pace, but that's not really as "wide-open" as the battle at right guard; Mauldin is the clear-cut front-runner to win the starting job at OLB.
