This is going to be a particularly vexing year to have OL troubles, because the 2015 OL draft class is as thin on talent as HYATT™ has witnessed in over a decade.
Short of A&M's Cedric Ogbuehi & Iowa's Brandon Scherff, there isn't a Rd 1-caliber OT on either end of the OL available in 2015.
Center will be extraordinarily bereft of talent and we probably don't see one drafted before the middle or end of Rd 3.
There is no conversation about OGs, because again, aside from S.C.'s A.J. Cann, none of them deserve to be drafted before the end of Rd 2 or possibly Rd 3.
Woe be to those with OL troubles because there is no help coming in the 2015 draft and the 2015 UFA class of OL will be so overpriced it could kill a team's cap to sign (2).
Ditto the TE class.
By the time the daft rolls around HYATT™ is sure SOME TE will be smoked up enough to get a late Rd 1 or early Rd 2 grade, but it'll be all smoke and mirrors and whomever that TE is, the team drafting him will find themselves with a bench art critic.
Want a possession slot receiver? (#2 or "Y")
Good luck with that too.
The 2015 WR class will NOT be noted for it's "sure hands".
The strengths of the 2015 draft class will be at QB, Flanker WRs - again, CB, FS, & pass-rushing specialist 4-3 DEs/3-4 OLBs.
This is where the Jets must concentrate their efforts next year.
It's actually more a "Jets draft class" than any in recent memory, given Pace and Babin are aging out, CB (& FS) are an ongoing problem since Revis and then Cro left, no WR depth beyond Wrecker, and of course the perennial 30 year search for a franchise QB.
