Offensive line depth is very difficult to come by, but you have to actually look for it in order to find it. Year after year I find myself puzzled why the Jets are intent on retaining backups from weak offensive line units. These guys were below subpar starters on the depth chart.
Harrison got 8 starts in 2018 due to various injuries up front. He was an upgrade at center after taking over for Spencer Long, but that really doesn’t say much. I think it also makes people higher on Harrison than they really should be. You’ll have problems if he has to play for any extended period of time.
I am hoping the Jets bring in enough players with more upside to knock Harrison off the Week 1 roster.
