The New York Jets have plenty of holes to fill and should address their major issues via the 2015 NFL Draft. The Jets might consider drafting a cornerback, but are expected to fill that need via free agency. Aside from that, take a look at their five top needs as they prepare to bring in talent that should be able to contribute immediately.

The Jets will need to make some major changes to their offensive line. It's not consistent enough to score touchdowns as the Jets have been one of the worst offensive teams this season. They should address their O-line issues by drafting some quality linemen who can help bolster its consistency and help establish the run, while giving enough quarterback protection to succeed.

4. Defensive End

The Jets need to add some quality pass rushers to their defense. Too many times they have completely fizzled out towards the end of football games due to not being able to bring the pressure to opposing quarterbacks. Drafting a speedy defensive end who could also be brought in as a pass rusher on blitzing schemes could work very well in the Jets' favor come next season.

3. Linebacker

The common theme on the drafting needs of the Jets lies in adding more speed on defense. Drafting a speedy linebacker would help solidify their run-stopping defense, as opponents were able to run up and down the field against the Jets too often. By drafting raw talent, the Jets could make serious improvements when it comes to stopping the run.

2. Wide Receiver

The Jets have some decent weapons when it comes to their receiving corps, but they need more pop. Eric Decker and Percy Harvin are nice, but they don't exactly terrify defensive secondaries. The Jets need to draft another wide receiver or two to add some speed and threats who can make big plays going deep.

1. Quarterback

Success in the NFL all boils down to who has the better quarterback. The Jets are in dire need of a solid, stable and consistent quarterback who can elevate the team the moment he steps foot on the field. The Jets have a mess when it comes to QB, and it's best that they draft a top quarterback to develop into their next big thing. The Jets need to completely abandon what they had to work with this season and start fresh at the position.
