The Jets have an advantage over allot of other teams had or will have at the end of their contending window.:
High draft capital potential via tradeable outgoing assests.
The timing of the remaining window , the contract term, salary cost and player calibre with these players - Schiefele, Helle PLD are all pretty favorable for the Jets..
If the Jets had 3 or 4 Blake Wheelers or Jonathan Toews as they are nearing the end of their window than I Agree - save your 1st at all costs. But they don't. They have trade equity that can be flipped for high draft picks or equivalent So I'm fine with using their own single 1st rounder *if* it makes sense.
If that 1st spent gets you help to contend this year and beyond, then perhaps some of those players re-sign here (likely Scheifele and / or Helle)and Jets reload/retool instead. If not , then you can still re-coup premium assests if you blow it up with Schiefele, Helle, PLD..
Do nothing, and you run the risk of blowing it up no matter what with a
bleak perception for this franchise moving forward - a team that will not take risks to win during their contending window.
