New York Jets
A certain type of receiver might be best avoided in the draft
The New York Jets have been an organization plagued with bad luck when drafting wide receivers. Garrett Wilson has panned out, but outside of that, the Jets haven’t had a receiver reach 1000 yards with the team since Jerricho Cotchery, who was drafted in 2004. That’s 20 years with 17 receivers who did not hit that mark with the Jets. A large reason for that lack of success is whom the Jets were drafting. And it’s more than just a talent issue. It’s when the players chose to...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! Tyron Smith will sign a one day contract and retire as a member of the Dallas Cowboys. Smith was a Jet for just one year. It was a forgettable season, as he struggled for the first time in his career, then suffered a season ending injury. Smith will probably be remembered by Jets fans as the dude who ushered in the career of Olu Fashanu. Smith had trouble staying healthy in his long NFL career, and he didn’t work out in a dismal Jets season,...

TheJets have a low 5.5 win projection from FanDuel
Our partners at FanDuel recently posted their initial over/under win totals for NFL teams in the 2025 season.
The Jets came in with a low mark at 5.5 wins, almost matching their 2024 record of 5-12. We recently asked fans in our SB Nation Reacts survey whether they expect the Jets to go over or under that total. The result was overwhelming.
I have to say that I agree with the majority on this one.
The 2024 Jets entered the seasons with expectations too high for the team’s talent level. They...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets will be meeting with Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham today. According to Ian Rapoport, the Jets have “spent a considerable amount of time with Graham, including a formal interview at the Combine, dinner the night before his Pro Day and now the Top 30 visit.”
Graham is widely considered the top defensive tackle in this draft and a likely top seven pick in the 2025 NFL draft. He has flown under the radar a bit in regards to whom the Jets...

Do the Jets need to target a starting right tackle?
Alijah Vera-Tucker has been nothing if not a team player during his tenure on the New York Jets. Since being drafted in 2021, Vera-Tucker has played all over the offensive line, often being asked to fill in to replace injured players on an as needed basis. That tendency was bucked in 2024 as Vera-Tucker played each of his 916 snaps at right guard, but things could change in 2025 with a new front office and coaching staff entering the picture.
Recently, new general manager Darren Mougey threw cold water on...

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets
Good morning Gang Green Nation! The 2025 NFL draft is just a week and a half away now, and it seems like half the stories out there are focused on whom the Jets will draft with the #7 overall pick. That’s to be expected. The first round picks are the guys with the most upside, as well as the most predictable, to the extent these things are predictable at all. By the second and later rounds we have almost no idea about exactly whom will be available when the Jets...
