The only reason why Saleh is safe is because Rodgers wants/likes him. No other reason. I would love to be wrong, but I believe that the next head coach/GM of this franchise will also be starting a new era at QB. IF somehow Rodgers would accept a new regime, that would be the ultimate win/win situation. But, we are the Jets. So we will ultimately be forced to choose between keeping Rodgers or getting a new regime.

According to the stats, Will McDonald had three sacks yesterday! I only recall one, but even so, McDonald is the guy to replace Johnson (not Reddick). Look, as a franchise, we have been stepped on, laughed at, bullied, badgered and bruised. But if this guy does not want to be a Jet, then trade him for whatever you can get and move on. If we want to actually breed a winning culture, then you move on. If you want to continue to be a pathetic loser of a franchise, then cave into whatever Reddick wants and pretend everything is fine. I am not aiming this directly at Reddick, either. This is a bigger picture situation and decision that needs to happen. We invested in Will McDonald, let's maximize that. Clemons is playing well, imo. He is the Myers replacement and I think he is fine. Between McKinley, Greiger, Watts, Holmes, can we get enough situational pass-rushing? Hopefully. And if not, then we can find someone else out there. Just don't cave at this point. We have to stop being professional sports doormats.

I have low expectations. We are the Jets. I want to beat New England twice this year. Everything else is gravy. I am half-kidding.

Some are saying we have a relatively easy schedule. Maybe in terms of 2023 records for our opponents, but the first nine or so weeks look pretty tough to me. We have several short work weeks, a trip to London, lots of spotlight games...not easy at all. I am happy we have a late bye, but this looks tough. Back-to-back road games to start, then TNF against our eternal nemeses the Patriots for the home opener. I don't know, it seems like a schedule made for a team nobody in the league cares about. Lots of national TV, sure, but travel and short practice weeks are concerning.

Overall, I think Jets management killed this draft! Yeah, I probably would not have drafted two running backs. I thought they'd bring in a veteran to compete with the two young guys but instead it will be three young guys for (likely) two roster spots. I have no issue with that. Otherwise, no complaints at all. We drafted players at positions I wanted. If we were going to double-down on any one position, I would have thought it'd be WR. But it is all good. I also like the two UDFAs. Brings a little bit more depth to the defense. And the Franklin-Myers trade was also good because I suspect he was a likely a release candidate later on this summer. Franklin-Myers was a very good Jet. He deserves a ton of credit for becoming a fixture along that defensive line. But after we acquired Reddick, this move felt inevitable. So, I am stoked. I think we checked off all of the boxes we needed to check. This off-season has been a resounding success. Now, the hard part begins!

And that is a good thing imo.

I would not have an issue with ANY quarterback that they take at this point. This is what we were supposed to do for the QB position. PROTECT Rodgers better; find a great backup in case our boy goes down again; get rid of the stench that was Zach Wilson; and add a young, developmental QB to sit and listen and learn from two great veterans. We have checked nearly every box, now it is a matter of which QB do you want to sit and learn. My preference is Milton because of his size and talent, but Rattler is definitely intriguing.

I love this pick. I don't think we needed a "complete receiver". We have one of those already. If you have more than one, then you end up in a contract dispute with the No. 2 guy, who feels he is a No. 1 guy. This is more of a team-building move and I love it. The three main receivers now complement each other perfectly, and gives Rodgers a plethora of options. He must be loving this. When Allen Lazard is your clear No. 4 WR, I think you are doing well.

Joe Milton is a guy who looks like an ideal developmental QB. Can learn from two great veterans and he has natural talent. I would take a shot. Yeah, I am starting to think that adding a cornerback is a good idea considering the 2025 decisions that await us.

Where do the Jets view Jarrick Bernard-Converse, as a future safety or cornerback? I think he has been tried at both positions, has he not? I think we will draft a DB today, but the position will likely be determined by how they feel about JBC. Can he be a backup to Adams? Can he challenge for a starting gig? Is he a backup cornerback? Anyway, I am watching that today for sure. One DB should be selected. Insurance for Reed is probably wise. Some names I am looking at right now are QB Milton; RB Gore Jr.; LB Trotter Jr.; WR Johnny Wilson (towering dude, potential heir apparent for the Mike Williams role?); LB Mike Barrett; CB Tampa. I think we are in position to draft five more players today, and really add competition and depth (and developmental players for the future). Ideally, I would draft a QB, a WR, a RB, a S and LB. Then maybe a guard, a corner, an edge and a tight end as undrafted free agents. Let's GO!

Love the pick! We traded 203 to move down one spot and got back 129 and 157. Not bad at all.

I like it. Unfortunately, I think the Lions are going to turn to Hooker at some point. I think they view him as their Jordan Love-lite. But I like the thought. One guy I like a lot is Cleveland's Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Same concept, really. He is buried on that depth chart now behind Watson, Winston and Huntley. I remember on Hard Knox Rodgers had nice things to say about him during the Hall of Fame Game. I would bring him on board if the price was right. Also, I don't think a rookie is going to be the heir apparent to Rodgers. I think we are going to draft a QB this year and another one next year. If Rodgers plays both years, we will probably pick another one the third year but that guy would likely sit in favor of the guy with some experience practicing with Rodgers (and also Tyrod Taylor, who I believe is also an important mentor in this situation). This, of course, assumes that this organization has learned its lesson after the 2018 and 2021 fiascos. Here's hoping!

I like the Kinlaw gamble. He is a first-round talent, just needs to break through. It is like having an extra early pick in this draft. Plus, I also like the fact we brought in some insurance with Leki Fotu. We covered our bases with those two additions.

I think four quarterbacks are going in the top 10. Plus three WRs plus Alt. That leaves two. I have to believe at least one more offensive lineman will be going in the top 10, and you also have to think that at least one team will take the best defensive player available. So, I think we should be able to get an O-lineman or a WR. That said, I still prefer the trade down scenario. Building up the depth should now be top priority. I think we might only need one starter from this draft, and that is a safety (which we probably can land on day 3).

He reminds me of Jeff George. You cannot be a good NFL starting quarterback on arm talent alone. Yeah he is athletic too, but those two traits are negated by one of the dumbest brains the position of quarterback has ever seen. Which is ironic because he went to BYU (same as Steve Young). And for my money, Steve Young was one of the smartest quarterbacks I ever watched. Good riddance to this clown.
