New York Jets' Best, Worst Moves in Free Agency: Tyron Smith Rank?

After a slew of splash signings in free agency, Pro Football Focus grades the New York Jets' best and worst moves.

A rebuilt offensive line with veteran protection for Aaron Rodgers and the arrival of a legitimate big-play receiver to go opposite Garrett Wilson. With Morgan Moses, Tyron Smith and Mike Williams joining Gang Green in the previous week, it's already been a productive offseason for the New York Jets.

Not that the 10th overall pick in next month's NFL Draft - hello, Brock Bowers? - won't add to general manager Joe Douglas' exciting work, but some analysts are already proclaiming the Jets' free agency haul and a "win."

"I actually like what the Jets have done here," says ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky. "If Mike Williams stays healthy - fingers crossed - all the sudden they've got an offense that put up points."

Since not every move, however, can be perfect, Pro Football Focus is grading each team's best and worst move after almost two weeks of free agency.

BEST MOVE: Guard John Simpson

Fit: A-

Value: A-

"Simpson will be the puller in the run game quite often, a big mauler in tight spaces who will clear some gaping holes for Breece Hall on occasion," PFF writes. "He comes in as a cheaper replacement for the recently released Laken Tomlinson, who was not playing up to the level of his contract signed in 2022."

WORST MOVE: Defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw

Fit: A+

Value: B

"Kinlaw does have some flashes on tape, but this contract is a good example of the benefit of being an early draft pick when looking for another contract," reasons PFF. "Nonetheless, it’s not a crazy number on a one-year flier. The addition addresses an area of clear need, with Kinlaw reuniting with Jets head coach Robert Saleh and perhaps providing a spark on 400-500 snaps."
