1. Right Guard/Tackle

The New York Jets offensive line was among the league’s best through the first four games of the season as they paved the way for Chris Ivory to rush into the top five rushing ranks. As the season went on however, Nick Mangold was sidelined for several games and the weaknesses across the offensive line began to become clear.

D’Brickashaw Ferguson is still capable of starting at left tackle (if he restructures his contract), James Carpenter had a great first year in New York at left guard, Nick Mangold continues to play at a pro bowl level at center (when healthy), but the right side of the Jets offensive line needs work.

Brian Winters is likely to be released some time in the coming weeks after another underwhelming season at right guard, while Breno Giacomini‘s future has also become a bit of a mystery after having an inconsistent second year in New York. These weaknesses along the right side have opened the door for Maccagnan to stay true to his BPA (best player available) draft mentality this spring and hand pick a top tier tackle/guard in the early rounds.
