2024 JetDefensive Prospect Rankings

[Cane]

I’m glad to see Newton maintain his spot atop your DL rankings. That dude is a beast. I know Murphy has some hype, but I Newton is just different.

There’s a few spots on defense where the top 5 are heavy on personal preference. Linebacker and Safety being the two clearest examples. Outside of maybe the top two, I could see someone have anyone from my top ten-ish at either spot slide in their top 5. Very specialized groups this year.

Lot of shake up at safety and linebacker.  I just think those groups are weaker than ever.

There isn't single first rounder in either of those position groups.  Not even a fringe first rounder.
