New York Jets

I have touched on this before because it just makes so much sense, but with a new GM and HC, you can always expect sweeping changes to be made. That is the perfect time to target a big name player who is going to hit free agency.

For the Jets, that player is Leonard Williams.

I wrote this in May and I think it still makes a lot of sense today:

"Could the Titans pull off a pick swap of a 2nd and a 3rd or something similar? Jon Robinson keeps the same number of picks while adding value, and the Jets get a bump into the second round in 2020 for a player that would have netted them a comp pick in 2021. Obviously this would be a huge deal for the Titans. They get a one year superstar in Leonard Williams and he gets to maximize his value on a team that actually has a great defense and a chance at the playoffs. Who knows, the Titans could end up giving up a 3rd round pick outright for Williams only to get back a 3rd round compensatory pick for him in 2021."

Why not get a starting DT to bridge the gap between the start of the season and when Jeffery Simmons gets healthy. I mean, this may be the one scenario left on the board where the Titans get a great player at DT that makes you feel comfortable about resting Simmons for all of 2019.
