Part 4/7:
The consensus emerges that when a team performs poorly—finishing with five wins, as the Jets did—the best player available approach is generally favorable. The next regime must keep an open mind about how to allocate their resources effectively. Given the Jets' multifaceted needs, prioritizing the best player instead of a specific position might serve them better in the long run.
Moreover, the draft strategy may not solely focus on selection at the seventh spot; the team's decision-makers could consider trade scenarios that involve moving up or down the draft board. The prospect of trading down to gather future assets is appealing, especially for a franchise that appears to be in a rebuilding phase.
