The New York Jets are wrapping up another rebuilding year, but are hoping they’re showing some signs of life. First round pick Zach Wilson has struggled this season, but has impressed at times and is not a complete washout in his first year.
The Jets will head into the offseason with one and possibly two top-ten draft picks. They have their own first round pick which is almost certain to be a top five pick. They also have the Seahawks first round pick from the Jamal Adams trade and that has a strong chance of being in the top ten. They need to actually invest those picks well, but it sets them up for some bigger expectations in 2022.
