Where would you rank these Jets at their respective positions?


Recommended Posts

This is why I’m so bullish about the next 2-3 years.  We haven’t had this much high level talent in recent memory.  

Some context for you to consider.. 

1. QB Aaron Rodgers.  Yes last year was a down year but consider his broken thumb, hurt ribs and receiving corps.  Previously back to back MVPs putting up 31 & 26 ppg.

My approximate rank:  #5

2. WR Garrett Wilson.  One of only 4 WRs who have won Offensive Rookie of the Year in the last 20 years.  The others Chase (Burrow), OBJ (Eli), Harvin (Favre).  GW had Wilson / Flacco / Shreveler

My approximate rank:  #10

3. CB1 Sauce.  1st Team All Pro.  Led the league in passes defensed as a rookie, despite dwindling targets.  Top 3 in the most important metrics for CBs (QBR against, completion %, yards per rep, TDs allowed).  Will INTs come next?

My approximate rank:  #1-3

4. CB2 Reed.  Rated as the top zone CB in the league using advanced stats.  Stays on the right side and often matches up against the team’s best WR.

My approximate rank for #2 CB:  Top 5

5. Slot CB Carter II.  Has let up only 1 TD per year over his first 2 years & excels at limiting big plays.  PFF had him rated #22 overall at CB.  Recently quoted as wanting to be the best slot CB in the league this upcoming season.

My approximate rank for Slot CB:  Top 5

6. DT Q Williams.  1st Team All Pro.  Dominant interior pass rusher who takes on double teams vs the run.  Total sacks were near the top for DTs at only ~70% of the reps.

My approximate rank:  Top 5

7. RG Vera Tucker.  Was rated top 3 early last season in both pass & run blocking metrics before becoming a quality starter at Tackle … and then getting injured.  

My approximate rank:  Top 3 (Jets next All Pro)

8. RB Breece Hall (when fully healthy):  Was on pace to become runaway OROY before his injury.  Led league w/ 5.8 yards per carry behind the Jets OLine as a rookie.  A home run hitter who can run, catch, block.

According to Pro Football Focus, he was No. 2 in yards (4.13) gained per carry after contact (based on 70 minimum carries among 59 running backs) and according to Next Gen Stats was No. 1 league-wide in rushing yards over expected per carry (1.49).

My approximate rank:  Top 3 (when fully recovered)
