Not familiar with college football so I find this a good way of getting to know who the draft prospects are and what they could bring to the team.
Any restructuring that improves the run defence has got to be a good thing, also agree that the offensive side of the ball also needs improvement.
Great content overall that must take a lot of effort on your part. For me I enjoy this a lot more than any other Jets based material available, well done.
Love your approach to free agency. I hope and pray that Jets figure out that they need for an awesome, young, ballhawk CB but, sadly, I feat that our head coach and our GM sometimes equate reps and coaching players up with pure, God-given talent so they will go with the CBs they have already for another year (sigh). Same goes for the kicking game, alas 'cause, again, your free agent signing is inspired. Some of your draft picks make less sense. I say that mainly because Nakobe Dean is a monster player that will be off the board after pick 11 (assuming your trade happens and I think JD does trade down multiple times in this draft in a bid to get more players). If you think LB is critical to fix (and who doesn't agree with you?) then you have to take Nakobe at 11. Since picking an amazing LB at 11 still leaves the Jets needing a WR, maybe we take either Dotson, the smooth route running Penn State WR (he is only 5'11", alas) or the other stud receiver from Alabama (I forget his name) to kick of the second round.
This was a lot of fun to read. Thanks for doing the hard work. Only quibble: If Edoga is the backup LT come Opening Day, I'd be scared. Otherwise, good work. Appreciate the hard work and the great explanations for your signings and picks.
Thanks Paul. Really appreciate it. My thinking here was that if Becton went down then you move Fant over to LT and you put Faalele in at right tackle to hold the Fort down. So in essence I have Edoga as LT3 here.
You do have a day job David?! This is so detailed and I really like where you've prioritised. I see Elijah Moore and Bryce Hall in a similar way - they both show so much promise, but if you can ease the pressure off them with a WR1 and CB1 then they could really shine.
With FAs it's the usual balance of 'money talks' v where someone wants to join the Jets. We've been there a few times!
And my slightly cynical view of this is if it doesn't click for Zach next year then you've got a surrounding cast that will either make life easier for the 2023 rookie QB or prove quite appealing for a veteran if they go that way. It's certainly better than what Zach (and Sam) walked into as rookies.
I do have a day job but fortunately/unfortunately I have a 19 month old daughter that gets me up at all hours, which gives me time to work on these.
Yeah my theory behind these moves is to build a competitive roster regardless of the QB, but obviously if Zach can make that jump it puts us in a great situation moving forward.
Good read, really enjoyed this one.

Yeah, after I wrote my comment, I figured that that was what you would do. Thanks again!
