The back of the draft has some hidden gems

For those who may not be aware, I run a company that covers college football. While doing this work ultimately led me to stepping away from doing GGN’s Flight Connections, it’s allowed me to get an inside look at multiple schools and players throughout the year. On top of that, I was also fortunate enough to witness both the Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl sessions this season, too. This work has led me to finding a number of underrated players that the NY Jets could target in the 2025 NFL draft,...

In a down season for the Jets a rookie defensive tackle began to make his mark in the NFL

There’s something special when an undrafted free agent (UDFA) makes good. The idea of a player that not a single team wanted to draft making each team wish they had drafted him just adds to the joys of seeing of a young player blossom.

I noted early in the offseason that one New York Jet UDFA who could outkick his proverbial coverage was Leonard Taylor III, which was a pretty common pick to stick on the roster among the [New York...

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

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The NFL recently announced a larger than expected increase in the 2025 NFL salary cap. Superficially this is good news for the Jets, as they get a bit more cap space to work with this offseason. However, all 31 other NFL teams also get more cap space to work with. More cap space for every team chasing the same finite group of players equals inflation in player prices. This makes any advantage the increased cap space might give a team largely illusory, as the increased...

Get used to a lot of silliness.

As the NFL offseason gets underway, it’s important to take rumors with a grain of salt. You will probably hear the Jets linked with every potential free agent, trade target, and Draft pick under the sun.

Take this rumor which has gaining traction online.

Now a lot of online rumors are just flat out made up. Others meanwhile are wildly taken out of context.

If the Jets haven’t already called the Titans to gauge the price for a potential trade up, they will at some point. The people running the Jets wouldn’t be...

More team building wisdom

With the Jets starting anew AGAIN it might be wise to learn from past mistakes made by former general managers and learn from successful general managers. We are using the Philadelphia Eagles as the epitome of drafting prowess since they are the reigning Super Bowl champions and were 80% formed by their drafting ability.

The Eagles added Saquon Barkley in free agency in the offseason which was the final move that put them over the top. They didn’t make a huge move like that until they had a team they thought could compete for a championship....

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

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The 33rd Team, the guys the Jets hired to help with their head coach and general manager searches this offseason, have come out with rankings for all 32 teams’ quarterback rooms. The ranking for the Jets isn’t pretty. They have the Jets ranked 30th, beating out only the New Orleans Saints and the Cleveland Browns. With Tyrod Taylor and Jordan Travis being the primary quarterbacks on the Jets roster, the 30th ranking is hardly surprising. What is disappointing, however, is just how often the Jets...

Quarterback is obviously at the top of the list of Jets offseason needs. Aaron Rodgers is on the way out. There is no obvious successor in place. What else do the Jets need, though?

We often think of needs only in terms of position. At which spots do the Jets have enough to get by? At which are they week?

There are also roles to think about, however. On today’s podcast we discuss some of the key roles the Jets need filled.

The 2024 version of the Jets had plenty of struggles on offense. One of their under the radar...

Leave mailbag questions for this week in the cleverly marked “comments” section.

This could change the way we watch the NFL forever.

Netflix entered the world of NFL broadcasting in 2024 by showing a doubleheader on Christmas. The streamer evidently has bigger goals for broadcasting the league per Puck and Pro Football Talk.

The streamer’s chief content officer, Bela Bajaria, told Matt Belloni of Puck (via John Ourand of Puck) that the company is interested in bidding on the NFL’s Sunday afternoon games.

Now it is important to note it is highly unlikely there will be any change to the way NFL fans see Sunday afternoon games for at least five...

So New York, New York, becomes tight end, tight end.

Dan Jeremiah of NFL Network has posted his second mock draft of the year. He has the Jets going in a surprising direction with the seventh overall pick.

7. New York Jets Tyler Warren Penn State · TE · Senior

The Jets ranked second to last in rushing offense last season, and they desperately need another target in the passing game. Warren helps them improve in both of those areas.

Ok, maybe it isn’t THAT surprising since Jeremiah sent Warren to the Jets in his first mock...

The Jets may need some help at right tackle next season

One of the bright spots in a pretty dark New York Jets football season was the play of the offensive line. What was once a major liability was actually quite competent and showed signs of long-term promise.

Part of that turnaround was due to the play of right tackle Morgan Moses, who helped stabilize what was once a high variance, injury prone spot for the team. Moses is currently slated to become a free agent, and according to Connor Hughes of SNY, it appears unlikely that Moses will be...

Taking a look at a recent Jets addition on offense

Last week, the New York Jets announced that they are signing tight end/fullback Andrew Beck to a futures deal. This was the first signing of the Darren Mougey era and today we break Beck down in detail.

The 28-year old Beck is listed at 6’3” and 255 pounds. He was undrafted out of Texas in 2019. Beck has played for a handful of NFL teams in his career, primarily Denver and Houston. During that time, he has caught 25 passes in six seasons and scored five touchdowns.

Background

Beck was...
