The New York Jets were written off by many a year ago, but the team had a strong season with some big wins, finishing the year at .500. This season, the team looks to better that mark, and they spent some money in free agency to help achieve that goal.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s draft could be one that the team looks back on as a difference-maker, as they hold 12 draft picks, more than any other club in football.<\/p>\n
New York Jets (8-8)<\/strong><\/p>\n Round 1 \u2013 18<\/strong> Here are five things to expect from the Jets on draft day:<\/p>\n They select an offensive skill player in the first round<\/strong><\/p>\n The team visited with North Carolina\u2019s Eric Ebron recently, and apparently covet the Tar Heel, but he\u2019s likely to be gone by the time they make their first pick. It seems more likely that one of the draft\u2019s top wideouts will be putting on the green and white.<\/p>\n USC\u2019s Marqise Lee, Florida State Kelvin Benjamin, or Oklahoma State\u2019s Brandin Cooks are all viable candidates for the starting job alongside Eric Decker this upcoming season. With Geno Smith now running the show, it\u2019s about time the team got with the times and opened up their offense.<\/p>\n They select another offensive skill player in the second round<\/strong> They find an impact cornerback in the middle rounds<\/strong><\/p>\n The team let Antonio Cromartie walk via free agency, leaving a pretty big void for the team to fill, one that Dee Milliner isn\u2019t ready to fill just yet. After he was selected in the first round a year ago, they won\u2019t be looking to take a player that high at the same position for a second consecutive year.<\/p>\n Even still, don\u2019t be surprised if defensive-whiz Rex Ryan nets himself an impact player somewhere in the middle rounds. Florida\u2019s Loucheiz Purifoy fits the bill, and could still be around when the Jets make their third round selection. Like everyone associated with the Florida program, his stock took a bit hit this past season, but he\u2019s a talented player that could step in right away.<\/p>\n They re-stock the linebacking corps<\/strong><\/p>\n David Harris certainly isn\u2019t getting any younger, and Bart Scott\u2019s absence still looms large. It feels like it\u2019s about time for the team to re-stock the cupboard.<\/p>\n The team drafts ever more offensive skill position players late in the draft<\/strong><\/p>\n It really is an area of need for a Jets team that has largely ignored it in recent years. After so many years of getting it wrong, the team could just grab a bunch of bodies and see who survives training camp.<\/p>\n The 2014\/15 NFL futures betting<\/a> season is here in full force!

\nIf they do go with a wide receiver in the first round, the Jets could target someone like Texas Tech\u2019s Jace Amaro in the second round. He\u2019s someone who can play out of the slot and serve as a safety valve for the team\u2019s still-raw quarterback.<\/p>\nEventually the online sportsbooks will post NFL Win Total Lines & Futures.
