Geez Jets have quite a few quality picks.  Can they get it together and build a team around Zach Wilson?

Pats are a mess. 

 

Old, slow defense. 

 

Spent a billion dollars on a bunch of average offensive players last off-season. 

 

QB on a rookie deal and very little above average talent on the roster, and somehow have very little cap space. 

 

Only 5 draft picks.

The good news for the Jest is that they have a lot of great draft picks.  The bad news is that they really need them and also they’re the Jest.

I think you meant to say .. Pats are in a beautiful place  ... happy tidings indeed.

The Jets are not in the QB sweepstakes this year either.  They might be able to trade back further into the 1st round and pick up some more quality picks.  I know that the QB class is not supposed to be great this year, but as the draft gets closer the QBs will start moving up the board with all the pre-draft hype.

My issue is Wilson didn't look anywhere near good - worse than burrows rookie year, worse than lawrence, worse than fields even.  

 

Trash line. Trash WRs. Trash TE's.  Trash RB's.

 

As for defense there's what - mosley and williams?  And they aren't exactly all-world type players either.  

 

4 picks in the first 40, and tons of cap space can address a lot of that.  Maybe you get a CB1 in FA, a pass rusher and WR in the 1st, and some oline help in the 2nd.  But they are still likely very far off.  And i don't trust wilson to elevate them.  There's a good chance they're right back here in a year.

I like their coach even though we have owned him.  They played tough to finish out the year as bad as they were.  Dolphins worry me if they make a move for a a qb.  I hope the pats stick with Mac for a while because I can never get enough of beating up on Bill Belichick.  Gonna be a fun offseason.

What happened to the Bills sixth rounder from carolina for Daryl Johnson?

Don’t be selling us short now…

Lol!  Don't want to sell our Bills short!

 

You're right, I missed a pick.  #183 is from the Panthers.  #202 is our original 6th rounder.

 

[Sestak4ever]

We may very well package some of our picks and move up. Go for quality vs. quantity. It’s actually nice to be in that position.

He was terrible but did play a little better late in the year.
