The calendar has turned to April, which means NFL teams are out of the intense part of free agency and into the final stages of draft prep.

This feels like a good time to take stock of the Jets roster: where they are at each position and what they still need to add.

Here is a position-by-position breakdown:

Quarterback

On the roster: Zach Wilson, Chris Streveler

You may have heard the Jets are trying to make an addition to this room. Aaron Rodgers should be the starting quarterback by the time the season rolls around, barring a complete breakdown in the trade talks with the Packers. Rodgers gives them a massive upgrade over what they had last season at the position, and the Jets feel he can be the missing piece for them.

Robert Saleh confirmed last week that Wilson will be the No. 2 quarterback. The Jets hope this can be a reset year for Wilson and he won’t have to play. It would not be surprising to see the Jets add a developmental quarterback to this room, probably an undrafted free agent.

Running back

On the roster: Breece Hall, Zonovan Knight, Michael Carter, Ty Johnson, Nick Bawden

The big question here is Hall’s health as he comes back from a torn ACL in his left knee. The Jets believe Hall will be ready for the season, but they are going to be careful not to rush him back. Hall will not participate in preseason games, and he probably will be on the PUP list for a good chunk of training camp.

As a result, they may need to add a back to take reps in the spring and in training camp. There was talk of signing Ezekiel Elliott, but Saleh shot that down last week. I don’t think they will add a high-profile back.

Wide receiver

On the roster: Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Corey Davis, Mecole Hardman, Denzel Mims, Irvin Charles, Diontae Spencer, Malik Taylor

This room looks a lot different after the release of Braxton Berrios and the trade of Elijah Moore.

Could it look even more different by the start of the regular season?

There is a lot of smoke around Odell Beckham and the Jets right now. Will there be fire? It probably depends on whether Beckham lowers his asking price. It is clear the Jets are interested, but at the right price.

If they add Beckham, Davis will likely be cut. It has been a surprise that Davis has lasted this long on the roster with a $10 million cap savings coming to the Jets when they cut him.

The Jets hope Lazard and Hardman give the offense some new dimensions and free up Wilson to have a huge season. Lazard is a great blocker and red-zone target. Hardman gives the Jets more speed than they have had.

Tight end

On the roster: Tyler Conklin, C.J. Uzomah, Jeremy Ruckert, Kenny Yeboah

The Jets made big moves at this position last year with the additions of Conklin, Uzomah and Ruckert. This year’s draft is deep at tight end, according to the draft gurus. It would not be shocking if Joe Douglas added another option in this draft with an eye on the future.

Offensive line

On the roster: Duane Brown, Laken Tomlinson, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Mekhi Becton, Max Mitchell, Trystan Colon, Wes Schweitzer, Chris Glaser, Adam Pankey, Eric Smith

The Jets still have a hole at center. They are interested in adding veteran Ben Jones, but there has been no movement there. Douglas also could use one of his draft picks to fill the position.

Tackle might be the most fascinating position on the team. Brown, Becton and Mitchell are all coming off serious injuries/health conditions. There is risk in penciling in any of them as a starter right now. Brown might have another year left in him, but he won’t be here in 2024. Becton has not played in basically two years. Mitchell did some nice things as a rookie, but who knows whether he is a long-term answer?

That leaves Douglas with a decision on whether to use the No. 13 overall pick on a tackle. There are going to be some good ones available. And after the Jets flirted with Orlando Brown in free agency, you know they don’t feel this position is solidified.

Interior defensive line

On the roster: Quinnen Williams, Solomon Thomas, Tanzel Smart

The Jets are thin at this spot after losing Sheldon Rankins and Nathan Shepherd in free agency. They were in on Calais Campbell, but he chose the Falcons. The Jets need to address this position either in free agency or early in the draft. Beyond finding a starter, Douglas needs to add bodies here for depth this offseason.

Edge

On the roster: Carl Lawson, John Franklin-Myers, Jermaine Johnson, Bryce Huff, Micheal Clemons,  Bradlee Anae, Marquiss Spencer

There had been speculation Lawson could be a cap casualty, but Saleh said last week the plan is for Lawson to be on the roster. He should be even better another year removed from his torn Achilles.

It will be interesting to see whether the Jets slide Franklin-Myers or Clemons inside more to help with depth on the interior. Both players have moved inside on passing downs, but the Jets might need them to take an even bigger role inside.

That would also clear some playing time on the edge for Jermaine Johnson, a 2022 first-round pick.

Linebacker

On the roster: C.J. Mosley, Quincy Williams, Jamien Sherwood, Hamsah Nasirildeen, Chazz Surratt

The Jets re-signed Williams, which was a priority for the team. Kwon Alexander, who started 12 games for the Jets last season, remains a free agent, but the Jets may be ready to move on and turn the third linebacker spot over to Sherwood or Nasirildeen, who were 2021 draft choices.

Cornerback

On the roster: Sauce Gardner, D.J. Reed, Michael Carter II, Brandin Echols, Bryce Hall, Justin Hardee, Craig James, Jimmy Moreland

The Jets nailed this position last season with the selection of Gardner in the draft and the signing of Reed in free agency. Carter has shown he is a strong nickel corner, giving the Jets a really solid group at this position for the first time in a long time. There is no need to tinker here.

Safety

On the roster: Jordan Whitehead, Chuck Clark, Tony Adams, Will Parks, Ashtyn Davis

The Jets made a move before free agency to trade for Clark, who is incredibly durable and will give the Jets another strong veteran in the secondary. They expect Whitehead to be much improved in his second season in the defensive system. Adams flashed as a rookie and is expected to see some playing time.

Special teams

On the roster: Thomas Hennessy, Braden Mann, Greg Zuerlein

The Jets have agreed to a deal with veteran punter Thomas Morstead, but he has not officially signed, so we don’t count him on the roster right now. The expectation is he will sign soon and will be the punter when the season starts. Zuerlein did a solid job last year, and has stopped the revolving door at kicker … for now. Hennessy, the long snapper, is the longest-tenured player on the team.

There was talk at the NFL league meetings last week about the Jets being this year’s choice for HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” They are one of the teams that fits the criteria by which the NFL can force them to appear on the show.

The Jets obviously are an intriguing team with the impending addition of Rodgers and young stars such as Gardner and Garrett Wilson. They have a compelling coach in Saleh and are a team with a loyal fan base that will watch. The 2010 edition with the Jets was one of the best seasons of the show.

You can see why the NFL and HBO would want the Jets.

The sense I got from Jets people, though, is the team will resist appearing on the show. The coaches are reluctant because of the distractions it can cause, and adding a celebrity quarterback is going to create enough of a stir. Having TV cameras around all the time will add to that.

Even owner Woody Johnson, who enjoys his team getting attention, sounded reluctant when asked about it.

It would be compelling TV, and that usually wins out in the NFL. We’ll see if the Jets can avoid the cameras.

Saleh will have a new quarterback in 2023 once the Rodgers trade is complete. Here is a look at the top 10 single-game Jets quarterback performances by yards in the past two years under Saleh:

1. Oct. 31, 2021: Mike White — 405 yards, vs. Bengals

   3. Oct. 30, 2022: Zach Wilson — 355 yards, vs. Patriots
