What Jets might do at linebacker in 2024 NFL Draft

The Jets have a strong linebacker corps right now with C.J. Mosley and Quincy Williams manning the middle of the defense.

There is not a need here at the moment.

Mosley is going to be 32 in June and the Jets may start thinking about his future replacement, but I don’t think that is a priority.

C.J. Mosley leads a strong Jets' linebacking corp., and it's highly unlikely Gang Green will draft a linebacker this year.

The team has Jamien Sherwood as a good backup and drafted Zaire Barnes last year.

Linebacker is a position where players can contribute on special teams immediately and that could be a consideration on Day 3.
