No. 1, 2 & 3 Tight End
Much like O-line and the edge, the tight end spot remains bare and questionable. Unlike the first two, the Jets continue to add talent to the mix.
Prediction:
- Chris Herndon
- Clive Walford
- Eric Tomlinson
- Jordan Leggett
It may be tough to keep four tight ends, but they’ll want to keep Eric Tomlinson on the roster due to his blocking prowess. With Quincy Enunwa most likely playing the Y in multiple WR sets, the Jets tight end spot could become defunct again during certain passing sets.
In the base and goalline, however, they need somebody to step up and we have Chris Herndon getting it done. The No. 2 man will be Clive Walford with Tomlinson kept as the blocking specialist.
As crazy as it sounds, Jordan Leggett could be on the outside looking in.
No. 1, 2 & 3 Quarterback
And here … we … go. The position you’ve been waiting for.
Prediction:
- Sam Darnold
- Josh McCown
- Teddy Bridgewater
Sam Darnold is, by far, the most talented quarterback on the roster. Shortly after the draft, I stated it’ll be Sam come Week 1. Only positives have supported that since rookie camp and OTAs have come and gone.
Talent this great cannot be beaten unless the franchise intentionally holds him back.
The dark horse of the three is Teddy Bridgewater. I think it’s far-fetched to believe he’d start. The franchise is now Darnold’s. So either Darnold or the veteran in Josh McCown will get Week 1 (barring unexpected events). If Bridgewater impresses during camp and in the preseason, look for Maccagnan to use the Louisville product as ammo to add on a pick or two in next year’s draft.
