2019 Offseason - Priorities

[nj meadowlands]

Look, I know a lot of people will immediately think, "what about this year?" and not bother with this.  I'm not writing off 2018, or necessarily looking past it -- hell, I'm excited for the first time in like 8 years!

But, I think it's also exciting to consider what the Jets should plan to do, now that that they FINALLY have, in theory, their franchise QB in place.  Next offseason the Jets will probably have two things working for them: the most salary cap space in the NFL, and another likely high pick in the first round.  How should they invest each?

Looking at the roster today, the priorities should probably be:

1. OLB/Edge rusher
2. OT / OL depth & talent
3. Young CB talent
4. RB

Some notable 2019 FAs (assuming they don't get signed up):

• Khalil Mack (honestly just end thread // give him whatever he wants)
• Jadeveon Clowney
• Ronald Darby
• Tyrann Mathieu
• CJ Mosley
• Deone Bucannon
• Jake Matthews

Where do you think the Jets should make their next significant investment?

If we're picking high enough in the draft and have a shot at one of the top OT's or Edge Rushers, if I had to choose between those two, it'd be the best LT in the draft. As badly as i'd want a pass rusher, I gotta go with protecting our QB for the next decade and not have to continue to worry about it. Especially since it's so hard to develop a good one these days.

well after we win the 2018 Super Bowl, let's give the team 2019 to recover.
