Four! New York Jets' 2021 NFL draft could yield that many starters

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. Four on the floor: If the Jets hadn't traded up from the No. 23 pick in April's NFL draft, they would have lost out on guard Alijah Vera-Tucker. They're convinced of that. In that scenario, they would have considered wide receiver Elijah Moore at No. 23. We all know how it turned out:

They got both players (Vera-Tucker at No. 14, Moore at No. 34) after drafting quarterback Zach Wilson second overall.
