Ryan Clady might prevent them from using a first round pick on a tackle. Here's to hoping.

Agreed. This actually helps the Hawks. If the Jets take an OL versus a DL the Hawks have better choices at #26.

Jets got Clady from Denver, but this guy is injury prone, and I would think the Jets would be smart to take a left tackle in the draft. They are overloaded with elite DLinemen so they don't need one of those.

Clady isn't likely to make it through the season, but a rookie LT could be slowly brought up in the position without throwing him to the wolves.

However, when Clady is on, there is no one better in the NFL, it's just too bad he's gotten so injury prone.

"Clady, on the other hand, has missed 30 games over the past three seasons, including all of 2015.

Clady, 29, hasn't been the same blocker since suffering a season-ending Lisfranc injury early in 2013.

If healthy, however, Clady is a massive upgrade over the spare parts and projects currently on the team's roster. The price was right for the upside, but it shouldn't preclude the Jets from adding a young tackle in the draft.

From the Broncos' perspective, they unloaded a contract that will give them much more cap space in their pursuit of a trade for Colin Kaepernick.

The dominoes in the 2016 offseason continue to fall. The Broncos getting their quarterback could be next.
