According to Salehs explanation of our defense he wants solid #2 to low #1 CBs and above average safeties. By my count we have 3 potential #2 CBs and 1 starting safety.
And also by some weird fucked up reason the “smoke” out there is that the Jets think their LBs are fine and their interior Dline was trash last year which made the LBs look terrible. If that’s not bullshit and is actually what the Jets believe (I couldn’t disagree more…) one might need to put DT at need 3 and S at need 4 and LB at need 6 where we are looking for a potential future replacement for Mosely.
I don’t agree at all mind you. I think if we get “our edge” at 4 and move JFM inside that helps with that a lot. But if Saleh disagrees we might be looking at a Perrion Winfrey/Devonte Wyatt/Travis Jones early in round 2.
From January to late April...i'm not believing anything a coach or GM says about anything.
All i know is, LB wasn't addressed in FA....and we're not going into the season just with Mosley, Quincy Williams and whoever is pencilled in at weakside LB (insert some random bum here).
As far as safety goes....Whitehead, Joyner, Davis and Pinnock is a serviceable group. If anyone thinks safety is a bigger need than LB, hasn't been paying attention.
