Locked On Jets

The New York Jets own the 10th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Most of the attention in the leadup to the Draft has been focused on a handful of players like Marvin Harrison Jr, Malik Nabers, Rome Odunze, Joe Alt, Olu Fashanu, and Talise Fuaga. There are, however, some other prospects like JC Latham, Brian Thomas Jr, and Troy Fautanu who could end up drawing consideration with that pick. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

For much of the pre-Draft process, Olu Fashanu, a tackle from Penn State was viewed as a consensus top nine pick. It did not seem like the New York Jets had much of a chance to land him. In recent weeks things have changed. It now appears increasingly likely Fashanu could be there at 10 for the Jets. That could be a stroke of luck for the team because it's difficult to see why Fashanu's stock is falling. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

The New York Jets are expected to focus their first round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on the offense. That unit needs to add young talent for the future.

The 2024 NFL Draft is now just a couple of weeks away. The New York Jets have spent their offseason adding big names like Tyron Smith and Mike Williams to improve one of the NFL's worst offenses.

The New York Jets had one of the biggest offseasons in the NFL. Should that change embattled general manager Joe Douglas' job status? Some are starting to suggest that Douglas' moves should give him more job security. If Robert Saleh can't win with the team he has, perhaps it is a coaching issue. There are some underlying matters with Douglas, however. The GM still has plenty to prove. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

The 2024 NFL Draft is fast approaching. The New York Jets own the 10th overall pick. After an offseason where the team filled many of its primary needs on paper, the Jets seem to have some flexibility heading into the NFL Draft. How much flexibility? Consensus has begun to emerge in recent mock drafts that the Jets will pick a tight end in the top ten, Georgia's Brock Bowers. Tight ends usually do not go that high. Would it be a good decision? That is a topic of debate Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

The New York Jets have had a big offseason. On paper the team has fixed some of its biggest short term needs. A month ago the conventional wisdom was that the team was going to use the tenth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on a tackle or a wide receiver. Since then, Tyron Smith, Morgan Moses, and Mike Williams have joined the team. Those needs look filled for now, but still the priorities for the team should not change. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Wednesday saw a big trade in the NFL. Unlike many of the major transactions this offseason, the New York Jets were not directly involved. However, the deal does impact the team. The Buffalo Bills traded their best wide receiver, Stefon Diggs, to the Houston Texans. The Bills are still formidable, but this move clearly hurts them. The New York Jets now have no excuses. It's time for Robert Saleh and Joe Douglas to show they belong by winning the division and going on a postseason run. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

After.a very active free agency period that saw them remake their offensive line and upgrade other key spots, much of the focus for the New York Jets is on the 2024 NFL Draft. With short term needs at wide receiver and offensive line filled, could the Jets be tempted to take Brock Bowers, a highly regarded tight end prospect from Georgia? This move would be full of risk for the Jets if they make it. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Haason Reddick is a major addition for the New York Jets. The Jets added a player who has been atop the NFL sack list over the last four seasons. The addition of Reddick also does come with some question marks. How much longer will Reddick be a member of the Jets? What does this mean for former first round pick Will McDonald? Can the Jets find a way to balance the short and long runs? These are critical questions that must be answered. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

The New York Jets have had a splashy 2024 offseason. It got even more splashy as the team made a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles to acquire star pass rusher Haason Reddick. Reddick has been one of the league's most productive edge rushers over the last four seasons and boosts an already excellent defense. The Jets are clearly all in and have added big talent to their roster this offseason. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

A year ago the New York Jets won the offseason with their pursuit of Aaron Rodgers. However, the rest of the offseason decisions were shaky and left key positions in shaky spots. The Jets have once again generated headlines for their 2024 offseason. On paper the moves seem much more sensible this year. The Jets have brought in a number of high upside players at prices that don't seem ridiculous. It is a refreshing change from last year. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

The New York Jets have landed most of their major free agency targets in 2024. On Wednesday the team experienced a rare miss as Jadeveon Clowney agreed to terms with the Carolina Panthers. Unlike Tyron Smith, Morgan Moses, and Mike Williams, Clowney did not play a position of major need. This is one of many reasons Jets fans should not be too upset over missing out on Clowney. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

In 2023 Quincy Williams' breakout was one of the best stories for the Jets. It took a linebacker position that looked like a question mark and turned it into a strength. Is there a player who could become the Quincy Williams of 2024? It's a lot to ask. Players usually don't improve into All Pros overnight. Still there are players who could step up and provide the Jets with needed depth like Carter Warren. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson spoke Monday at the NFL owners meetings. His comments were interesting because many of them seemed to be at odds with what he said the last time he made public comments. Less than two months after saying Zach Wilson wasn't a backup level quarterback, Woody now believes Wilson is an asset. Woody also seems to feel that success in 2024 is in the "eye of the beholder." Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

The New York Jets have been active in free agency this year. They have addressed core needs such as tackle and wide receiver. They might not be done. Free agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney came to the team late last week for a free agent visit. Could the Jets add yet another big name player this offseason? It's possible. Just don't expect Clowney to have as big of an impact as Tyron Smith or Mike Williams if he signs. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

It has been an active and productive free agency period for the New York Jets. The team addressed its two biggest needs in free agency by making high upside signings of Tyron Smith and Mike Williams. The trade for Morgan Moses also could pay the team benefits. With the top needs filled, the Jets can now change their NFL Draft philosophy, right? Maybe not. There are still reasons the Jets should stay focused on tackle and wide receiver with the tenth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

After a flurry of moves to upgrade the offensive line in the early days of free agency, the New York Jets had one major need left on the offense, wide receiver. The team addressed that need by landing one of the last big name options on the market, Mike Williams. Williams not only fills a glaring need. He checks a lot of the boxes for what the Jets were lacking at wide receiver. Suddenly the Jets are looking like a potential force in the AFC. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…
