How close are the New York Jets to having a solid offensive line?

One of the priorities leading up to the 2020 off-season for the New York Jets was to solve the problems on their offensive line. With Sam Darnold being sacked 33 times in 2019 and lacking time in the pocket, general manager Joe Douglas made it an essential allocation of assets.

It is only right that we start off with 11th overall pick Mekhi Becton at left tackle. Becton has a unique blend of size and speed, standing at 6-foot-7 and 369 pounds.

Becton’s goal is essentially to start as a rookie and make the playoffs, which sounds about right for a player picked in the top half of the first round.
