New York Jets: Post-draft/free agency defense analysis

Final thoughts

The Jets were already on a fast track to success but it would have taken a few more years without some of these new pickups. The offense was lacking until the new additions of Le’Veon Bell, Jamison Crowder, and Kelechi Osemele and shown that they made some clear improvements.

Now that Sam Darnold is taken care of with more protection, the offensive side of the ball can contribute enough points to where the defense doesn’t have to have a near perfect game in order for them to win games. With the defense specifically, the additions weren’t as much of a need as it was a want. Gang Green fans can see that the front office is serious about getting this side of the ball as good as it was in 2009 and 2010.

Following the additions of Quinnen Williams, C.J. Mosley, and Brian Poole, the New York Jets have division contender written all over them. As the New England Patriots slowly start to get older and players are getting into their golden years, this could be their best opportunity to snag the division crown. It won’t be easy, but if Gase can work with his coaching staff and manage this team the right way then the Jets could see themselves kings of the AFC East for the first time since 2002.
