Jets Needs 2011

 

Free Agency Priorities

Wide Receiver

Santonio Holmes, Brad Smith, and Braylon Edwards are all free agents. They added two receiver through the draft, but they still need to resign one of those 3 at the very least. They probably don’t want to lose Smith’s versatility either. 

Rush Linebacker

They need a replacement for Jason Taylor as a 3rd rush linebacker. 

Safety

Brodney Pool is a free agent. They need to either resign him or sign someone else at the position. Depth is needed anyway. 

 

Draft Needs 

Rush Linebacker

Jason Taylor is 37 in September. They need a new pass rushing linebacker opposite Calvin Pace.

3-4 Defensive End

Shaun Ellis had a good year, but turns 34 in June and he’s a free agent. Mike DeVito is also not a great pass rusher so they could add another pass rushing 3-4 end regardless.

Drafted Muhammad Wilkerson (#30) 

Wide Receiver

Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards are both free agent. With all of their other free agents (David Harris, Shaun Ellis, Antonio Cromartie) I doubt they resign both.

Drafted Jeremy Kerley (#153), Drafted Scotty McKnight (#227) 

Safety

They don’t have a true playmaking safety. Brodney Pool was marginal and he’s a free agent. Rahim Moore, who picked off 10 passes in 2009 as a sophmore for UCLA, makes sense at #30.

Middle Linebacker

David Harris is a free agent. If he’s not resigned, they’ll need a replacement.

Cornerback

Antonio Cromartie is a free agent. If he’s not resigned, they’ll move Kyle Wilson into the starting lineup, but they’ll  need a new nickel.
