The NFL Draft changes the lives of hundreds of players.
Sure, there are the players who are drafted and the undrafted free agents. But the draft also affects the players currently on rosters. As Jerry Glanville so eloquently put it, the NFL stands for “Not For Long.” There are many players who could be Wally Pipped, going from a competent starter one day to losing their job outright.
Based on the moves the New York Jets made in the draft, there are some players whose roster spots might be less secure than before. Others, meanwhile, can rest more easily.
