We’ve got mini camp and training camp coming. Hopefully no more injuries like the one Lawson suffered last year. Devastating injury. No more of those please!

the only player at the Senior Bowl was Jermaine Johnson who was on the Lions American Roster.Question: Out of Sauce, Wilson, Johnson, and Hall; were any of these picks the result of coaching the senior bowl?
With JFM kicking inside, the added Edge/DE was pretty important. Cleamons will be a solid rotational guy outside and bring a nastiness to the D.Leading up to the Draft I didn't feel we needed to take a CB or RB till later in the Draft. I wanted Ikey at #4 and J. Johnson at #10 with a Linebacker in the 2nd Rd. As it turned out, I couldn't be more stoked as JD and Saleh nailed it. Every pick except the last one was great. This may turn out to be the greatest draft the Jets have had since we drafted Joe Namath.
I sure hope thats the case.it's going to be so much fun watching Zach's naysayers back track when he starts diming to all of his playmakers.
I wish he would make a fool outta me. I didn’t want that kid but after the way he finished his rookie season he’s got me sitting up and sliding forward in my chair.I sure hope thats the case.
“That’s not who I am," Clemons said. "That’s not what my character shows. That’s in the past and I’ve learned from it.”
Douglas said they “felt comfortable” about drafting him after doing their background work on Clemons — and that Clemons won't repeat his mistakes.
I guess they thought this guy’s upside was worth the risk. For some guys it’s a snapshot of who they really are. For others it’s just part of immaturity at the tail end of adolescence.I'm worried about Cleamons off field activities. Will he carry them over from his college days.
Hey not fair I was next on that jointThe Jets will have 11 new starters in 2022 as a result of the draft, free agency, and returning from season ending injuries.
Breece Hall, CJ Uzomah, G.Wilson, Tomlinson, Becton, Whitehead, Joyner, Gardner, DJ Reed, Lawson and J.Johnson.
This is going to be a much better team. Much better. If it all clicks and they stay relatively healthy, I could see 8-10 wins.
I don't know about the hotseat...but if the Jets disappoint this season, he's probably gone. JD drafted like it was make or break for him.Well - it was quite the draft....thoroughly enjoyed it and hearing the good things said about the Jets' efforts. Couple things I take from it;
1. Was it first year learning curve only or was the Adam Gase a factor in draft #1 for Joe D? Since given full control and a better working partner, night and day difference from first to next two drafts for Joe D.
2. Not disappointed, but surprised he sat on two picks in 4th and didn't trade down to add a 5th or 6th. Not a major item, just surprised.
3. For tghe love of God - can we NOW ditch the misguided concept that Joe D is/was on the hotseat? Only the clickbait writers created this false narrative that has stirred up the SOJ part of the fanbase. Those in the know, those here on this site for the most part, realize this is and has been a PROCESS with no magic potion. Either you believe in the signs the QB showed as he played more and the ability of this GM to judge talent or you don't...........year 2 for Zach - progress expected, but let's not get sucked into the vortex that it's booming success or time for regime change. Schedule is tough and we now have a lot of players in diapers.........we just need to see incremental steps forward to the goal of building sustained success.
very excited for the upcoming season and actually feel that we are not necessarily at the mercy of the injury gods.........there is depth to adapt. I feel in 2022 we are playing with house money.........still gives us a chance to surprise.
couldn't disagree more - guy is locked in when you can't judge a draft class for 2-3 years........guy drafted like he was taught to do so.I don't know about the hotseat...but if the Jets disappoint this season, he's probably gone. JD drafted like it was make or break for him.
Wishful thinking there @innocenti ?I don't know about the hotseat...but if the Jets disappoint this season, he's probably gone. JD drafted like it was make or break for him.
douglas crushed this draft..couldn't disagree more - guy is locked in when you can't judge a draft class for 2-3 years........guy drafted like he was taught to do so.
So if the Jets finish let's say 5-12 in 2022 or 11-39 over the past 3 seasons, JD's job is still safe. Wow, just wow!!couldn't disagree more - guy is locked in when you can't judge a draft class for 2-3 years........guy drafted like he was taught to do so.
Just take what I said at face value. BTW, just like everyone else, I think he had a great draft.Wishful thinking there @innocenti ?
