The Robert Saleh-Zach Wilson era got off to a rocky start as Sam Darnold, once fearful of ghosts, became a vengeful shade himself and haunted his former team as the Panthers took down the Jets 19-14. The first half was…bad. Like really bad. Zach Wilson was erratic…probably not as bad as the stats showed but…
You might have heard: there was a draft last week. Now that its done, we finally have the full picture of what this class looks like. Without further ado, your New York Jets draft picks, class of 2021: Round 1: Zach Wilson, QB, BYU Round 1: Alijah Vera-Tucker, OL, USC Round 2: Elijah Moore, WR,…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: the Jets used a pair of late round picks on defenders with impressive athletic profiles. The Jets clearly hope to strike gold by getting players have the athletic potential to play above their draft slot. You buy enough lottery tickets, you’re sure to hit the jackpot at…
With the 175th the 186th picks, the Jets have selected Pitt cornerback Jason Pinnock and Florida State Safety/LB Hamsah Nasirildeen, respectively. First, drafted a corner from Darrell Revis’ alma mater in Pinnock. Pinnock is a traits prospect who tested extremely well. He struggles with getting beat deep, but perhaps the Jets don’t value deep speed…
After trading the conditional 4th round pick received in the Alijah Vera-Tucker trade up, the Jets made two 5th round picks in rapid succession at 146 and 154. They selected… a pair of safeties, Well, not really. The Jets seem pretty solid at the safety position, and it’s unlikely either of these DBs will actually…
With their first pick of the 4th round, the Jets selected UNC running back, Michael Carter. My favorite description of Michael Carter came from a YouTube comment under his highlight video: “he runs like he’s skiing.” Carter is a dangerous slasher who has terrific stop and start quickness to shake tacklers in the open field…
Back on the clock at the start of the second round, the Jets didn’t trade down as expected, instead opting to stay put to take a player many expected to have his name called in the first round: Ole Miss receiver Elijah Moore. Elijah Moore is a 5’9″, 21 year old, explosive slot receiver with…
The Jets made a big splash last night when they traded both of their third round picks to go up in the draft and select Alijah Vera-Tucker. It’s a risk they could afford to take after absolutely loading up on draft capital, but it would still feel nice to get some of those picks back….
Well, it’s Draft Day, Kevin Costner, be praised. Last year, the Jets had the luxury of having their needs line up perfectly with the various strengths of the draft (offensive tackle in the top ten, wide receiver in the second round). This year, they aren’t so lucky. The top edge rushers are projected to go…
So you may have heard, but there’s a draft coming up. A lot of the focus is going to be on surrounding alleged #2 pick Zach Wilson with the talent he needs to grow and develop, unlike that last guy. Sean? Steve? I’m blanking on his name. In any case, when building around quarterbacks, the…
