Ahead of the start of free agency, Insider is providing buyer's guides for all 32 teams: biggest need positions from Football Outsiders, top targets from KC Joyner and Matt Williamson and predictions on how everything will play out from our NFL Nation team reporters.
Included below are links to every team's article. This is the entry for the New York Jets. (Editor's note: The needs section has been updated to reflect the Jets' trade for Brandon Marshall.)
Biggest needs
Quarterback: Through two seasons, Geno Smith's stats make him look like a poor man's Mark Sanchez. After ranking 40th in DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) among quarterbacks in 2013, Smith improved to 31st last year. Sanchez ranked 35th and 28th in his first two years, respectively. Even Smith's late-season surge -- he ranked 11th in DYAR for quarterbacks in Weeks 15-17 -- mimics Sanchez (ninth in DYAR in Weeks 15-17 of his second season). The larger sample of Smith's two seasons indicates that the Jets should be looking for their next quarterback.
