New York Jets draft class: Endangered veterans on the roster (Part 1)

All six New York Jets selected in this year’s draft are hoping to claim a spot on the 53-man roster prior to the start of the season. In turn, the team is praying they can each accomplish that feat. There is no doubting the front office would love to have as much youth and as little salary cap commitment on the roster as possible. A successful draft class brings both to the table.

For each roster spot a rookie secures, of course, it means that there is another player who will lose the game of musical chairs.
