2024 NFL Draft Second and Third Round Discussion Thread

2024 NFL Draft Second and Third Round Discussion Thread

Please do not post spoilers before a pick is officially announced.

It is night two of the 2024 NFL Draft from Detroit.

On night one, the New York Jets added Olu Fashanu, the player they hope will be their left tackle of the future. A trade down also netted the Jets a fourth round pick and swapped a sixth round pick for a fifth round pick. Those selections are scheduled for tomorrow, however, when rounds four through seven are scheduled.

Tonight’s festivities will be the second and third rounds. The Jets lack a second round pick. This year’s second...

How far could the Jets trade up on day two of the 2024 NFL Draft?

How far could the Jets trade up on day two of the 2024 NFL Draft?

If the Jets want to move up, they have some ability to do so.

The New York Jets have a single pick on day two of the 2024 NFL Draft. However, through a series of moves, including a trade down in the first round the Jets own five picks in the final four rounds.

Rumors are already flying about the Jets potentially looking to move up on the second day. How far could they move up.

We will consult the classic Cowboys trade chart, which assigns a certain number of points to each pick. Is this an accurate measure of...

2024 NFL Draft Grades: Jets receive high marks for picking Olu Fashanu

2024 NFL Draft Grades: Jets receive high marks for picking Olu Fashanu

It takes a couple of years to truly grade a Draft class. Grades given immediately after a pick are frequently wrong and the subject of ridicule years later.

That doesn’t stop analysts from churning out instant grades.

For now let’s say Draft grades are stupid...unless they praise the Jets.

Joseph Acosta (SB Nation): A

The Jets have to make sure Aaron Rodgers is protected not only for 2024, but beyond. Yes, they signed Tyron Smith and acquired Morgan Moses, but both are older and injury-prone. Fashanu doesn’t have to play right away, but if he does he’s the...

Did the New York Jets get surplus value when they traded back from pick 10 to pick 11?

Did the New York Jets get surplus value when they traded back from pick 10 to pick 11?

What does the Jimmy Johnson trade value chart say about the Jets’ trade down?

A few weeks back I wrote about how the NFL actually values picks when they trade them and which of the draft value tables was most accurate with data suggesting the Jimmy Johnson table was best.

Then, serendipitously as far as that article was concerned, the New York Jets actually went ahead and traded picks for picks in Thursday’s NFL draft. I also saw some comments questioning whether or not they got adequate value for their pick when they traded it, so I figured it...

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

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Unfortunately due to my normal job, today’s FC will have been created prior to the start of the NFL draft - and for that I do apologize as I won’t be able to add much to the conversation in today’s monologue or in the links below it. Hopefully you enjoyed the first round of the draft - and hopefully the New York Jets have chosen a player that could create a nice career with...

2024 NFL Draft: Jets trade down to #11, pick  Olumuyiwa Fashanu - Do you approve?

2024 NFL Draft: Jets trade down to #11, pick Olumuyiwa Fashanu - Do you approve?

The Jets have a new left tackle!

The New York Jets traded the 10th overall selection in the 2024 NFL draft, along with pick No. 203, to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for picks No. 11, No. 129 and No. 157.

The Jets then used pick # 11 overall to select Penn State left tackle Olumuyiwa Fashanu, a talented blind side pass protector who may need some work in the run game.

The Jets needed an offensive tackle badly, as they currently have Tyron Smith manning the left tackle spot. Smith is great, but the last time he missed less...

Olumuyiwa Fashanu is a 21 year old, 6’ 6”, 315 pound offensive tackle. He was a two-year starter at Penn State who excelled in pass protection at left...

Drafting is a low probability exercise, but which positions are more likely to succeed when taken in round 1?

Drafting is a low probability exercise, but which positions are more likely to succeed when taken in round 1?

Which positions are more likely to pan out in the first round?

“The draft is a crapshoot”

“Drafting is an inexact science”

“We have to wait 3 years to evaluate a draft”

Taken together, those are three distinct impressions that all get to the same root message: drafting an NFL player is a really hard thing to get right.

And while it’s easy to forget after months of media hype, that message applies to the first round all the same. Don’t believe it? Let’s check the data as provided by ESPN.
