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….
Joe Douglas said he wasn’t going to fail Zach Wilson like they failed Sam Darnold. And after taking Wilson at two, Douglas wasn’t about to wait around to pick 23 to get that help. Douglas traded all the way up to the 14th spot to take an absolute bully of an offensive lineman. With that…
With the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the New York Jets surprised absolutely no one. There was no mystery with the first pick and there was just as little mystery with the second. The Jets didn’t bother to mask their intentions. This is the kid they wanted and Joe Douglas didn’t care…
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…
Everyone, myself included, expected the Jets to address the offensive line in free agency. They came away with Dan Feeney, a hell of a mullet but a depth piece at most. This means we can all expect Joe Douglas to attack the offensive line in the draft, right? Well, maybe. We’ll see how the board…
Yeah, you read that right. We’re talking fullbacks, baby!! It’s not the sexiest position, but it is a position the Jets will actually use again. This preview will be slightly different from the other position previews, largely because I haven’t watched, and won’t be watching, any tape on fullbacks. This preview isn’t about evaluating the…
