New York Jets Draft Value

Edition #599

Good morning ☕

The Jets are giving us a little room to breathe after a frantic week of acquisitions. Jadeveon Clowney seems to be mulling over his options and it doesn’t look like we’ll get a decision this side of the weekend. So this is a little wrap-up newsletter to finish a key period of the off-season. Hopefully, we get another signing tonight and I have to bash together another Saturday edition after arriving in Scotland, which is where I’m heading today.

• Javon Kinlaw knows what it takes to get to the playoffs, and he’s confident the Jets are on the right track. "I know what it's like in those [playoff] games, money-wise especially," Kinlaw said. "I know what it's like -- the physicality, the energy. I want to go back. This team has everything it needs to make a push to the playoffs."

• As I mentioned yesterday the Jets sent assistant offensive line coach Ben Wilkersen to work out Christian Haynes of UConn, but according to Tony Pauline which I was able to verify, they also spent considerable time with Yale tackle Kiran Amegadjie, a name we’ve mentioned a couple of times over the last month.

• As of writing this newsletter, the vast majority of Jets free agents remain unsigned. I'd still like to see a few of these guys return.

  Defense: Carl Lawson, Al Woods, Ashtyn Davis, Jalyn Holmes, Ifeadi Odenigbo, Sam Eguavoen

  Special teams: Justin Hardee

  Offense: Mekhi Becton, Duane Brown, Randall Cobb, Connor McGovern, Billy Turner, Trevor Siemian.

• The 33rd Team has a new mock Draft out and they had the Jets taking Brock Bowers

• The Jets will also officially be meeting with Florida State QB Jordan Travis. He's got a visit planned for a few weeks time according to Logan B. Robinson of Moles Game day.

• Tyron Smith met with the media and he had this to say about Aaron Rodgers - "I played against Aaron. I know what kind of quarterback he is and I know what he can do if you give him a little bit of time.”

What could the Jets get from moving down in the draft?
