The NY Jets’ worst-case draft scenario (And how to navigate it)

Coming into the 2023 offseason, the offensive tackle position was widely considered to be the New York Jets‘ greatest need outside of quarterback. But as we sit here on April 23, just four days away from the NFL draft, the Jets still have not made a single noteworthy addition at the tackle position.

Because of the Jets’ ignorance of the tackle position so far, most writers and fans agree the Jets are likely to select a tackle with the 13th overall pick in the first round of the draft. It is a strong tackle class and there is a high likelihood of the Jets having one of the best tackle prospects on the board for them when they come onto the clock at No.
