Jets Draft Picks 2021: New York Jets' needs
-- Quarterback: The New York Jets traded Sam Darnold to the Carolina Panthers this off-season. New York is lined up to select BYU quarterback Zach Wilson with the second overall pick.
-- Cornerback: The Jets need to focus their second pick in the first-round on a shutdown cornerback. Caleb Farley's draft stock has dropped majorly and this could help the Jets land the Virginia Tech star.
-- Running back: Javonte Williams and Michael Carter will both be available in the second round of the draft. The Jets currently have La'Mical Perine as their starting running back. So either pick would be a huge upgrade to the concerned position.
-- Edge rusher: There are a number of talented edge rushers in this year's draft. The New York Jets will look to make an appropriate pick in round three.
-- Tight end: With Kyle Pitts going early in the first-round and Pat Freiermuth going somewhere in the second round. The Jets will have the option to grab Hunter Long out of Boston College to fill their tight end position.
