Current 2024 compensatory picks projection: Three picks (two seventh rounders and a sixth rounder).
Remaining needs:
- Defensive tackle
- Free safety
- Off-ball linebacker
- Offensive line depth
Draft picks held:
- Round 1, Pick 13
- Round 2, Pick 42 (From CLV)
- Round 2, Pick 43
- Round 4, Pick 112
- Round 5, Pick 143
- Round 6, Pick 207 (From SF via HOU)
Notes on compensatory picks:
To count as a qualifying gain/loss, players signed would need to earn around $3 million per year or more and must be signed by the cut-off date, which is typically about 10 days after the draft. That may in theory delay some players mentioned above from getting a deal this month, because teams (including the Jets) may not wish to make qualifying additions that will net off against potential compensatory picks.
