The NY Jets are reportedly expected to prioritize defense in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The NY Jets haven’t had a capable offense in nearly half a decade at this point. During that time, the franchise’s defenses have generally ranked around middle-of-the-pack in the NFL, but the unit has certainly had its moments over the years.
In fact, just last year, the Jets’ defense peaked as a top-11 unit in terms of overall DVOA, per Football Outsiders. But in 2020, the defense has completely fallen apart.
