The Jets will head to the NFL Scouting Combine this week, which will be hosted in Indianapolis for a 39th time and the 17th time at Lucas Oil Stadium. After finalizing their coaching staff with 12 new hires including OC Frank Reich and DC Brian Duker, the roster will come into focus with the NFL's free agency negotiating window set to open on March 9 and the draft more than eight weeks away.

Here are five things to watch as the Combine kicks off in Indy:

CLEAR VISION, CLEAR PLAN
Prior to making several changes to his coaching staff, Jets HC Aaron Glenn was reflective on his first year in office and expressed confidence in shared vision with GM Darren Mougey and Chairman Woody Johnson.

"As a rookie head coach, and same thing as a GM, man, going through the first year and really understanding the landscape of everything, like that's a huge deal," Glenn said at the team's season-ending news conference in January. "And speaking on myself, there's a number of things that I know I will be better at. And again, I'm still doing the self-reflection, but I know for a fact there are a number of things and the confidence that I have in Moug, the confidence I have in our owner, the confidence I have in myself, the confidence I have in some of the foundational players that we have — that's where the confidence really comes from, if that makes sense. There's a clear vision, there's a clear plan on how we want to go about doing things and you match that with Moug, with our owner, the confidence I have in myself, with some of the foundational players that we have — that in itself to me gives all the confidence in the world, man, that we're going to go in the right direction.

Mougey added: "I'm excited about the offseason as we go into it. Obviously, the draft capital we have, the cap space, and just being here now a year with AG, working with AG, the staff, getting to learn the staff, getting to learn the players, getting to learn this division, I feel more confident today than ever moving forward with what we have going."

EVERY OPTION AT QUARTERBACK
After starting three quarterbacks last season, all options are on the table for the Jets at the position. The free agent crop is set to include Daniel Jones (IND), Malik Willis (GB) and Marcus Mariota (WAS) while ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Kirk Cousins (ATL) is expected to be released before the start of the league year. And beyond that, NFL Network insiders reported recently that Derek Carr, whose rights are held by the Saints, could unretire, and there are a handful of veteran quarterbacks who could potentially be traded.

Most people believe Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza will go No. 1 overall to the Las Vegas Raiders, but the rest of the QB draft class can use the week in Indianapolis to make some noise. Ty Simpson (Alabama) has an opportunity to cement his status as QB No. 2 in a group that also includes Garrett Nussmeier (LSU), Carson Beck (Miami), Drew Allar (Penn State), Taylen Green (Arkansas) and Cade Klubnik (Clemson). Both Justin Fields and Brady Cook remain under contract for the Green & White.

"We will exhaust every option," Mougey said. "Free agency, the league, obviously the draft — we will exhaust that and have a good solution for the New York Jets."

No. 2
The Jets currently own eight draft picks, including a pair in Round 1 (Nos. 2 and 16) and Round 2 (Nos. 33 and 44). Many pundits believe Ohio State defender Arvell Reese would be an excellent fit for the Green & White at the top of the draft. Reese, who had 6.5 sacks last season, is a versatile force who can play in space and at edge.

"It's nice to know we'll be picking at (No. 2), but before we get to the draft, there are a lot of internal discussions and studies and obviously our roster first and then free agency and then evaluating the draft in depth to know what we'll do with that pick and those assets," said Mougey. "But there's no doubt it feels good just to know where you're at (No. 2)."

Edge David Bailey, who led the FBS in sacks last season at Texas Tech with 14.5, could be a top-5 selection and there are some intriguing offensive skill position talents headlined by WR Carnell Tate (Ohio State), WR Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State) and RB Jeremiyah Love (Notre Dame). After holding draft meetings last week in Florham Park, the Jets' scouts will descend on Indianapolis for another look at the 319 players invited to the Combine.

CALCULATED APPROACH
The Jets are equipped with financial flexibility heading into free agency. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported in January that the league informed clubs it is projecting a salary cap range of $301.2 million to $305.7 million and OvertheCap.com projects the Green & White to have $83 million in cap space. The Jets have 24 players scheduled to become unrestricted free agents.

"I think everyone wants to be aggressive but calculated with how they attack offseasons," Mougey said at the Jets' season-ending conference, "whether that's free agency and the draft, and just knowing your team, knowing your division, and what you need. You can say it's an aggressive approach, but it really needs to be a very calculated approach— knowing your resources, your draft resources, your cap, your future cap and what that might look like. So yeah, we're always going to look to add and kind of know where we might be deficient and where we might need to really add power to compete in the division."

After draft deadline deals of CB Sauce Gardner to the Colts and DT Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys brought back valuable draft capital and the recent changes to the defensive coaching staff, the Jets have a chance to completely revamp the unit that is in need of playmakers.

SUPPORTING CAST
Nobody was younger than the Jets last season as the Green & White's 10,123 snaps from first- and second-year players led the NFL and were the most in franchise history since Tru Media began tracking in 2007. They used the same offensive line combination in every game for the first time since 2012 and their 123.3 rush yds/g and 4.6 yds/att were their best numbers on the ground since 2016. Rookie TE Mason Taylor (44 catches) had a productive rookie season and WR Garrett Wilson remains one of the NFL's top young receivers. The Jets have a decision to make with RB Breece Hall and the quarterback question must be answered, but there are pieces in place offensively and resources to improve the talent quickly.

"I feel good about that offensive line," Mougey said. "I think that's a strength of ours, it's a young group. and I think with continuity in the group, they'll only continue to get better. I think we've got a young tight end, I think we've got a good tight end room. Obviously, we've got Garrett, we've got Breece, we've got a good stable of backs, so I feel good about the offensive support on that side of the ball."
