The New York Jets could look to bolster their offensive line in a big way ahead of the coming season...
The New York Jets came into the offseason with a slew of different holes on their roster, but the front office has aggressively upgraded the team ahead of the upcoming season. On offense, they added Geno Smith, among others, to bolster the offense around Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall.
The main upgrades came on defense, where the Jets added players like Joseph Ossai, Demario Davis, and Nahshon Wright to bolster Aaron Glenn's unit. They also made trades for players like T'Vondre Sweat and Minkah Fitzpatrick, who will come in and help improve the Jets defense that struggled all last season. But there's still work to do, and the Jets have plenty of draft capital in the upcoming draft to continue improving their roster.of the 2026 NFL Draft. After projecting the Jets to select Arvell Reese with the No. 2 pick in the draft, Edwards projected they would land Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano at pick No. 16. Pick No. 16 was acquired in the trade that sent Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts.Feb 28, 2026; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Utah offensive lineman Spencer Fano speaks to members of the media during the NFL Combine at the Indiana Convention Center.

One just walked out the door as his replacement enters," Edwards wrote. "Fano is a high-quality offensive lineman, even if there are concerns about his length to play offensive tackle. In this scenario, the Jets have bookend tackles Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou at left and right tackle, respectively, with Fano at guard. Fano could also kick outside in a pinch." The Jets are set at offensive tackle after Armand Membou looked like a franchise offensive lineman last year. But Fano looks more like an NFL guard than an NFL tackle, which means the Jets could take a chance on him to fill a role left by the losses of Alijah Vera-Tucker and John Simpson. If Makai Lemon or Jordyn Tyson is available at pick No. 16, the Jets need to take their shot to improve the wide receiver room. They've neglected it all offseason and they can't head into next season without a complementry weapon next to Wilson.Loading recommendations...
