Round 1

1. Browns select QB Sam Darnold, USC.

4. Browns select RB Saquon Barkley, Penn State.

 

 

 

 

5. Dolphins select QB Josh Rosen, UCLA.

 

Hey, Mike Maccagnan! You have no marbles.

[/spoiler]

 

The options for 6th overall selection are WR James Washington, OLB Marcus Davenport or Bradley Chubb. No trade is announced.

6. Jets select OLB Bradley Chubb, NC State.

 

We Got EDGE!!!!

 

 

But No Mayfield?

 

Jets 2nd Round: G Austin Corbett, Nevada.

Seahawks 2nd Round: C Will Clapp, LSU.

 

Jets setting up inside with Corbett, Clapp and Hubbard?

 

 

3rd Round: Traded down with 49ers. 3rd Round and Steelers' 4th Round Pick.

49ers 3rd Round: OLB Justin Lawler, SMU.

I got sense that Lawler is similar to Ryan Anderson who went 2nd round last year. Maccagnan liked Anderson because he had speed turning into power skill.

 

4th Round: OT Alex Cappa, Humbolt State.

Steelers 4th Round: WR Daurice Fountain, Northern Iowa.

Cappa can be LT of the future. If not, he could be solid back up all spots except maybe C.  Fountain has number one material as a wideout.

 

Cowboys 5th Round: RB Roc Thomas, Jacksonville State.

He is a natural cut zoner that is working into N-S power. A potential feature RB for Bates' offense.

 

6th Round: ILB Chris Worley, Ohio State.

Bengals 6th Round: Tweener Jake Roth, Boise State.

Worley's blitz and pass rushing have been demonstrated very well at the Shine.  Roth may be another Jordan Reed or Trey Burton.

 

Seahawks 7th Round: CB Danny Johnson, Southern.

Panthers 7th Round: DE Justin Jones, NC State.

Johnson is an ideal for slot coverage job.  Jones could contest for either starting DE or a final DL spot as he got angry today in Mobile.

Jets will spend a lot more than that. Cap floor. 

[SDotNova]

Haha. Funny write-up. Entertaining. Well done.

This would be a phone throwing, door slamming off-season though. No doubt we are going to miss on some free agents but hopefully we land some.

I'm in the booing, why not Mayfield at #6 crowd. 

[barnaby8787]

Sorry, one more thing, I'm hella confused on some of the things going on here.

AAV is a general salary.  It could mean front loading or back loading or one year to prove as I could not know which player fits a certain contract.

Upon signing means you get that amount on day one or month one. After that, number of base salary and roster bonus will vary as I could not estimate exactly.  55m or more usually makes a team stuck with a player because of prorated bonus that runs through 4 or 5 years.

Stop by Goodwill for phones and tvs. heh.

Cap Floor means nothing. Jets will have to pay extra bonuses to players if necessary as Maccagnan does not require to overpay and suffer some serious ramification for team salary.  blah blah blah.

[Bobby816]

So we have 110mill and spend like 50mill? Like others have stated we have to hit the cap floor. Not sure exactly what its called but I'm sure someone on here does... but we have to spend like 80-90mill of our 110mill in cap space bc we cant carry over what we carried over from last year and this year I believe (think of the 2015 off season). We literally HAVE to make some big signings or trade for players getting paid a bunch.

89 percentage of 4 year salary cap must be spent on players.  This year was first of 4 years.  Real money only.

 

For example.

Jets and QB Bobby have agreed 4 years 50m. 20m guaranteed. 12m signing bonus.   That would be 12.5m AAV.

Y1: 2m base salary. 3m SB = 5m cap for 2018.  Real money is 14m.

Y2: 8m base salary. 3m SB. = 11m cap for 2019. Real money is 8m.

Y3: 12m base salary. 3m SB. = 15m cap for 2020. Real money is 12m if stay on the roster.

Y4: 16m base salary. 3m SB = 19m cap for 2021. Reset for next 4 year unless CBA says otherwise.

 

34m of real money vs 31 cap salary.  That is well over 89 percentage. right.

 

If Jets decided that year 3 cap is too high for the team salary then Jets would convert base salary into prorated bonus.   8m changing into 4 years which means you add two voidable seasons to that contract.  2m per season. 

Y3: 4m base salary. 5m SB... 9m Cap...12m real money. Unchanged for Cap Floor.

Y4: 16m base salary. 5m SB...21m Cap.... 16m real money.

y5: 2m SB... automatically 4m dead cap if not renewing contract.  Zero real money.

 

Or.  Because Y3 has no real money to be guaranteed to you.  Dump you for new FA of 50m SB.   That would 38m more than yours for real money.

Jets have 2 more off seasons to improve real money after this mock. Plenty. Believe me.

 

In Cousins' case-  Cousins would earn well over 100m in first 3 years with any team of 3. 55m makes you stuck with him for 4 years so each team will pay real money of at least 100m real money to Cousins before entering his 4th season. 

 

 

Because of using AAV (base salary not full cap number), Jets can play around cap numbers over 3 or 4 years. Remember I did one off season so we will have 2 off seasons to meet cap floor.  That would be best if Jets continued having cap room through next 3 years for that reason.

Sorry if Mac screws up this years draft  unlike  you I will not support him any more. I will be marching up from Florida with the VILLAGE ELDERS with their pitchforks & lanterns right to his office at Met Life stadium.

That gets a GM who's already on thin ice fired. 

[KimuraGod]

You could really do with putting some more effort in because that just felt rushed and poor quality....

Obviously I’m joking!! This is not particularly the route I’d go down. I feel the players you’ve had us signing at key positions (CB,OL) whilst it’s realistic I just have faith we could attract better players.

The reason I would kill someone if this happened though is we haven’t upgraded the QB position which as my views here on McCown are so strong I have to back my own opinion. We just can’t be bringing him back as the starter next year. I would be deflated and uninspired by the FO and to be honest would give no real interest for this upcoming season.

All in all absolutely fabulous effort and amazing comedy thrown in. Really enjoyed it. ??

[jetskid007]

A for effort. Only criticism is the spending: cap floor will mandate is to spend a little more, even if they’re not marquee guys. Don’t think we’ll give McCown a 2 year deal either. 

Do think there will be a lot of trade action in the top 5 picks; if we want a QB we’re going to have to move up for them. 

[rickyt31]

 

Just for the gif use.

I do think we'll do more in FA, especially if we lose out on Cousins. I love the Colvin pick up. 

[ekill08x]

this was impossible to even follow. i still dont know who we signed.
