The Miami Dolphins probably won’t have to worry about the New York Jets in 2022. But perhaps beyond.

Possible selections: Kayvon Thibodeux / Drake London / Devin Lloyd

The New York Jets have the most firepower in the 2022 NFL Draft, enough to raise eyebrows and potentially strike fear in the hearts of opponents and rivals. Whether they package together some picks in order to trade for a veteran, or they add four prospects within the top 38 picks, the Jets should be a different looking team by the beginning of May.

Essentially any mock draft that you look at will give Dolphins fans anxiety when thinking about the possibilities for the Jets. With the fourth overall pick, they will be able to add either one of the top two pass rushers (Aidan Hutchinson and Kayvon Thibodeux) or one of the two best offensive linemen that the class of 2022 has to offer.

They’ll pick again at 10th overall, where they will likely have the choice to pick between the best wide receiver in the class or one of the three highest touted corner backs. In the second round, New York holds the 35th and 38th overall selections as well. This area will be rich with both safeties and wide receivers, so the Jets could add weapons to both sides of the ball here as well.

The Jets have a long way to go in becoming a contender for the AFC East division crown, but four picks in the top-38 is a very good place to start.
