New York Jets Flight Connections 04/28/24

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The 2024 NFL draft is now in the books. The Jets traded frantically throughout this draft. They traded up, they traded back, they traded into the 2025 and 2026 drafts. It was ... something. In the end the Jets drafted five straight offensive players with their first five picks in this draft, something they’ve never done before. We’ll see how things work out, but you can’t accuse the Jets of not trying to get Aaron Rodgers help to run his offense.

Drake Maye-Javon Baker connection finally becomes reality

Drake Maye-Javon Baker connection finally becomes reality

Five years after both were committed to Alabama, they join forces in New England.

When New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye originally committed to the University of Alabama in 2019, he quickly got to work before enrollment with one of his potential wide receivers: Javon Baker.

But Maye and Baker never took the field together for the Crimson Tide, as the QB eventually flipped his commitment to the University of North Carolina. Over five years later, the two will finally reunite in New England after the Patriots selected Baker with the 110th overall pick — two days after drafting Maye...

Patriots’ Lone-Defensive Pick Looking To Shed ‘Underdog’ Status

Patriots’ Lone-Defensive Pick Looking To Shed ‘Underdog’ Status

The Patriots nabbed their lone defensive pick in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL draft.

Last season, cornerback Marcellas Dial earned the Overcoming Adversity Award as a senior at South Carolina, something the three-year starter for the Gamecocks hopes to change when he gets to New England.

“Yeah, it just, that’s just my life, how it’s been. I’ve been an underdog all my life,” Dial said in a video call with reporters on Saturday. “I’ve been having to fight this uphill battle all my life. So, me overcoming adversity, that’s something I’ve been doing my whole life. So, it’s...

Offense Weaponized? Patriots Did Best To Accomplish Goal In NFL Draft

Offense Weaponized? Patriots Did Best To Accomplish Goal In NFL Draft

Eliot Wolf’s use of buzz words captivated the attention of just about every New England Patriots fan.

Wolf, though, followed through on his offseason intention. He and the Patriots weaponized the offense as best they could during the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Patriots used seven of their eight total picks on offensive players during the three-day event. New England not only secured what many believe will be the team’s quarterback of the future in Drake Maye, but then added two receivers and two offensive lineman with their first five selections.

After picking players to address their three biggest needs during...

Patriots Have Undeniable Confidence In Major Draft Decision

Patriots Have Undeniable Confidence In Major Draft Decision

The Patriots answered a lot of questions in the 2024 NFL Draft, but also created one with a rather unexpected selection.

Is Caedan Wallace capable of playing left tackle?

Drake Maye was taken in the first round, and will be the quarterback of the future. Ja’Lynn Polk was taken in the second round, and should have an immediate impact on the receiver room. Wallace went in the third, and though he plays tackle, he’s only ever worked on the right side.

Michael Onwenu kind of has that covered already.

The Patriots don’t have too much of a worry, though, as...

Patriots 2024 NFL Draft Recap: All Of New England’s Selections

The New England Patriots finalized their 2024 NFL Draft class Saturday evening, welcoming eight new prospects, most notably the team’s presumed quarterback of the future: Drake Maye from North Carolina.

Maye might not be the official starting quarterback this upcoming season just yet, according to Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo.

Following a dumpster fire 4-13 finish, New England moved on from Bill Belichick and Mac Jones, leaving a wide-open door for newcomers to make themselves a household name while also digging the organization out of its growing divot — the Patriots haven’t won a playoff game since 2018.

2024 Draft Class Looking To Help Restore Patriots’ Past Glory

2024 Draft Class Looking To Help Restore Patriots’ Past Glory

The Patriots added a lot of young players in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Is that obvious? Yes, it’s literally a pool of college-aged players. New England added dudes who weren’t even alive for Super Bowl XXXVI, though.

Drake Maye is 21. Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker are 22. Layden Robinson is 23. The Patriots being anything but dominant is something new for all those guys, so their top priority is returning the franchise to its past glory.

“The Patriots, it’s been a dynasty,” Maye told reporters in his first meeting with the media Thursday. “It’s one of the best areas,...

The Phinsider Question Of The Day: How Are You Feeling Now Edition/ With Poll

Some fans hardly pay attention to the draft, while others, mostly the diehards like us, wait for it as one of the big events of the NFL calendar every year. Our Miami Dolphins began the offseason by losing some of their best players right off the bat before going on a free agency signing spree to plug as many of the holes that had been made as possible. Now, they have drafted a handful of players in a draft that saw them a bit hamstrung, given that they had no picks for two of the draft's middle rounds. Now, the...
