Needs on offense: There’s serious doubt as to whether the quarterback of the future is currently on the roster. The OL additions of Alan Faneca and Damien Woody won’t preclude them from making additional upgrades, seeing as how both of those players are on the wrong side of age 30. Adding a playmaking wideout would give them more leverage in Laveranues Coles’ contract saga.

Needs on defense: Kenyon Coleman isn’t the good fit the Jets thought he would be at end and is replaceable. They’re one corner away from fielding the league’s best young secondary. Plugging in a good inside linebacker alongside ILB David Harris in the 3-4 would give them a reliable defensive nucleus for years.

On Draft Day … The Jets hit home runs in trading up for Harris and CB Darrelle Revis in ’07. But because they have just four picks, they could be looking to stockpile selections by trading down this year. If they stay in the sixth slot, they’d love to see the tremendous upside of RB Darren McFadden or DE-OLB Vernon Gholston available to them.
