Just bustin balls
Nothin else to talk about and if my kid wanted to go at 45 I’d be on the plane tomorrow

I went 3 or 4 times that was enough
Don’t forget
I went to see the Jets for 50 years
Money spent wisely
🥲🥲🥲🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Been there once 47 years ago. I was 6. Only 2 things I remember was the electric light parade and dropping my ice cream and crying.

So who do you guys want at #2? Just our luck to have the second pick in a draft with no obvious #2 prospect. We could do with some buzz around Jeremiyah Love, so that Saleh trades up. There is a world where we trade Breece and take Love ourselves.

Most mocks have us taking Reese, who is a 'Swiss Army Knife'. Do we want one of those or do we want a guy who is good in one position? I'm a bit suspicious of all these OSU guys (Reese, Styles, Downs) when I remember how much of a non-factor they were against Mendoza in the CFP. David Bailey is supposedly weak against the run, which doesn't suit a 3-4 defense IMO.

The one pick that would really make me annoyed is Ty Simpson, who isn't first round material, and in any case isn't going to help Glenn and Moggie win now. #2 Nooooo, #16 Urggggh, #33 Meh!

Reese is probably the pick if we stay at 2, but the key at 16 is whether Mooge can trade for a legitimate #2 WR like Thomas or Wilson. If not then Lemon, kid from ASU, or Cooper at 16. 33 and 44 will be interesting with needs at IOL, LB, QB, and S. I’d rather we wait until 3rd (with trade) or 4th for a QB like Allar, Nussmeier or SD State kid.

This works for me. I can go with this.

My youngest grandson is 15 years old and participating in a Yale science program.
He told me he's a Jets fan.
I thought he was smarter than that.

Back to the draft:
Many "experts" are saying the Jets will pick Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State at #16.
But every one of them says he will be good IF HEALTHY!
That's a big red flag for a mid range first rounder. I'd stay away.

Most big boards have Tyson as the top WR in the draft and the first or second wr off the board

I was really hesitant to put Tyson in the group of three at #16 as it would clearly be a boom bust scenario. Don't think we can stomach a 1st round bust at this point. The same could be said with Simpson at #16.

I would pass on Tyson. Too many injuries and he seemed reluctant to block last year. I'm guessing he's afraid of getting injured as the cause of his decline in blocking.

I wouldn't hate Love if we know Breece is gone. I don't think Breece is that good anymore. Definitely not a game changer. I think they go with Reese. I don't think they will take Simpson at #2, but wouldn't be surprised at #16. I think someone else takes him before our #33 pick which is where I could see the Jets thinking about getting Simpson.

I would hate it if they draft Simpson anywhere higher than the third round, and we all know they don’t have a third round pick. No, he won’t last that long but let someone else take a chance on a unproven smaller size QB. Of course he’ll turn out to be an all world, Hall of Famer because the Jets didn’t draft them, but it is what it is.

The Jets will go with either Reese or Bailey at number 2 and I’m good with that and hopefully a wide receiver or another defensive player at number 16. The Jets drafting Love would be beautiful, if he was available at 16, (we all know that he won’t be) and if they weren’t keeping Breece Hall. Hopefully Allen will be 100 % this year.

Saddest part about all of this was Breece rookie year, he was magnificent. All the makings of pretty much being on his way to becoming a first ballot Hall of Fame type player, but that injury and I guess the Jets in itself just crushed that. So so sad that he’s now a base average to above average player.

I'd love to see the jets trade down from 2 a few spots add more pics for this year and next, draft love, trade Hall for even more picks. Getting a better Back on a rookie deal with 5 years of control plus add more picks.....

That would be perfect. Paying Breece would be a mistake. I know the Jets won't draft a RB at #2, but I wouldn't hate it.

I’d be on board with this also. Im warming up to Love at 2 and dumping Breece for picks. #16 has got to be a receiver option ( I like Saddiq) . What Im confused about is this talk of Bailey at 2. Bailey and WMD wont work together (weak against the run) so you cant play them both at the same time. Unless they have some plan to trade WMD that we dont know of…..Bailey makes no sense

You are absolutely right that Bailey makes no sense. He is ONE DIMENSIONAL. He wins with great get off speed. That will not be as easy for him at the NFL level. If he gets beat at that point he is barely average for the rest of that play. Most of the better draft annalist still have Reese as the Jets pick and that's because he is far more versatile and doesn't have to be schemed for. They can use him damn near any way they want and he will succeed.
