"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

The Draft was the hope. THAT schedule is going to be the harsh reality.!

GO G MEN.

It leaves us with 36 year-old Tyrod Taylor as back up to Justin Fields, although Tyrod is reliable. So we might need to pick up a QB in free agency, or trade for one (using late-round picks) before the deadline next season.

Jordan Travis, the Jets QB drafted in 2024, has retired after failing to recover from the horrible leg injury he suffered in his last game for Florida State.

Big talent, and such a shame. Also a sharp reminder that your college or NFL career can end in an instant.

He took a calculated risk by drafting him in round 5 of last year's draft, despite his injury. In Jets fashion, it has backfired! But I'd say he was worth the risk. We'd only have wasted that pick on a shit kicker (or maybe a shitkicker) anyway.

Feel for that kid, as he was more talented and harder working than most QBs we've had in recent years.

Whoops der dirty cah

He looks like a very interesting player indeed.
I can think of a few ways he could make a career in the NFL.

“Tough, physical, violent, aggressive and resilient.”

Aaron Glenn telling journalists about the characteristics he looked for in every draft pick.

Definitely went for a bunch of youngsters who look like they’ll punch and run their way through brick walls. No whining, cotton wool Zach Wilson’s this time around.

Not the NFL draft but Minnesota Golden Gophers add Purdue offensive lineman Jaden Ball through transfer portal
The 6-5, 300-pounder also had offers from Ohio State and Syracuse.

Definitely a kick returner in the style of his new head coach, and could even become an excellent slot receiver. Definitely opens up the field.

one of our better fan channel creators is a georgia fan and talked about him a lot in his pre-draft shows. said he had limited opportunities due to the talent around him but shone when given the chance in 2023, but for some reason didn't kick on last year but he was still a believer and wanted us to take him in the later rounds. just said he needs a bit of work on his technique (catching), but the athleticism is up there with the best

I’m sure that not all of the Jets’ draft picks will “make it” - that’s rare. But happy with the way they selected this year. Good, solid prospects. Some risks - all college kids come with a risk - but no obviously mad over-reaches, and a focus on the meat and bones positions (trenches, blocking etc).

I'll admit the receiver we took I missed when researching players, but he's an athletic freak and went to college locally. I'm hoping we take a particular kicker (Fitzgerald) with one of our remaining picks

that skattebbo pick is interesting. he's a decent back
