One team that really improved their roster so far this offseason is the New York Jets, who have added immense talent on both sides of the ball. They had a down year in terms of their record last season, but that was mostly due to the fact that they were working in a rookie quarterback, who looks to be the face of the future moving forward.

During the 2018 NFL Draft,  the Jets moved up to the No. 3 overall pick, selecting USC quarterback Sam Darnold. The rookie won the starting job out of training camp, and looked very good in the season opener against the Detroit Lions, but really had an up and down first season at the NFL level.

To help him out in 2019 and beyond, the Jets went out and got the best dual-threat running back in the NFL, signing former Pittsburgh Steelers free agent Le’Veon Bell. With Bell behind him, you can expect Darnold to take a big step forward, and with the No. 3 pick for the second straight  year, the Jets should focus on the other side of the ball.

New York added a star in linebacker C.J. Mosley from Baltimore, but they still need some help on the edge. Enter Josh Allen, a stud outside linebacker/ edge rusher from Kentucky, who racked up 17 sacks in his final season on campus, and looks to be a impact player as a rookie in 2019.
