New York had a lot of needs to fill on the depth chart and they upgraded the offensive line which is going to be a big help for Le'Veon Bell and Sam Darnold. The running back depth behind Bell is a bit thin, although newly drafted Lamical Perine and dinosaur Frank Gore will get some work. Getting Darnold weapons was a major need for the Jets and they signed Breshad Perriman and drafted Denzel Mims. While it might not be everything the Jets fans asked for, it is a step in the right direction.

The Jets offense was a big part of the problem last season and why it might not be the moves fans wanted to see, adding Breshad Perriman and drafting Denzel Mims was an upgrade to their current weapons for Sam Darnold. New York brought in Frank Gore, who is the founding father of the NFL. Now the Jets do not have a bad offense, but if they do cave in and trade Jamal Adams, the secondary will take a hit. The front seven is the strong part of this defense, as they were in the top half against the run and pressure rate.
The Jets starting wide receivers are Breshad Perriman, Denzel Mims, and Jamison Crowder. This will be almost an entirely new set of receivers for Sam Darnold to work with. Crowder is the name that was here last season as Mims is a rookie, and Perriman came from Tampa Bay.
Denzel Mims is the name replacing Robby Anderson as the Jets drafted an athletic wideout out of Baylor. Anderson was a deep threat for New York, and Mims can help bring some of that to the table.
Joe Flacco took a deal with the New York Jets and is the backup to Sam Darnold. Flacco played most of last season in Denver but has hardly produced over the last few seasons. However, the Jets backup situation could be worse.
Both Marcus Maye and Jamal Adams is a great safety pairing as the last line of defense for the Jets. While Adams has been vocal about a trade, it still remains intact. They are a reason why the corners performed well last season.
Adding Mekhi Becton in the draft was a win for the offensive line. While it might not shoot them up to the top of the rankings, it is a step in the right direction. The Jets desperately needed to fix the offensive line.
Frank Gore came over from the Buffalo Bills and will resume a role backing up Le’Veon Bell. Given Bell is a workhorse type back, Gore will play a minimal role in the offense. He will also be 37 years old when the season starts.
