Reviewing the 2022 Jets Draft (4/30)

about it. Um. I mean who wouldn't. If you didn't say the Jets, then you're clearly a Giants fan, right, That's really the only reason why you wouldn't say it. So uh yeah, I mean, you know, they got arguably the best four guys at their position in college football. I mean, I don't even know where to like, how

does it even fattom how that happens? But I think there's a lot of people that had these four players, in particular the four picks to let the first four pick to the Jets as the number one positional player for their on their boards. So um, With Gardner, Wilson, Johnson, and Hall That's a pretty good haul there. And then you know Rutgert. Listen, he's he was hiring a lot of people's list as well. So really good uh weekend

for Joe Douglas and company. And I'm excited to see all of them get on the field and start practicing. Before we get to Coleman, I want to go across the way to Greenberg here, Greens What about Baltimore, Chile, Hamilton, Tyler Linderball, David Najabo obviously coming off the Achilles, Travis Jones very impressive from Connecticut. They got a b S big tackle for Minnesota. Um, they got Charlie Cohler, one of your favorite tight ends in Africa, Isaiah likely another

tight end. Uh. Do you think the Ravens give the Jets the run for the money here? I think that the raven definitely had a very good draft. I think a lot of it depends on UM. Well, really, I think it could be David a Jabo, Like if he comes back fully healthy, I would imagine he's probably not playing this next season. But if he were to come back and become the player that a lot of people thought he would be, you're talking about a potential top

fifteen talent in whatever round they drafted him. I believe it was the second round. So and you talk about what they did, to your point, A, they got the best center in Tyler linder Baum somebody. I think there would be some people that think that Tyler Linderbaum was a top fifteen prospect, let alone the top guy at his position. It just depends on what you think of him as a player. And Kyle Hamilton's felt like he kind of slipped out and was there for the Ravens taking.

And I think the popular saying around the Ravens is just kind of like, oh, of course he's gonna be good there. That's I think they've earned that kind of trust. And you know, I think they've definitely had a good draft. But obviously we can't create a draft on April, you know, or May one. But all indications are that they selected very well. Yeah, because that's what people keep on talking about, who will prove themselves the most. This week, Philadelphia's added

into the equation. They trade for a j Brown acquire him from the Tennessee Titans. Very interesting movement. They give him a big contract where there is a direct connection, I think to the Jets is the Jets take conversations. As we've talked multiple times, I think fans are mad at maybe when I mentioned Tyreek Hill's name. I'm just looking back and saying, hey, this was part of the off season. And there was also a report this weekend that the Jets had made an offer for Deebo Samuel

that included the number ten overall selections. So it's interesting to wait this played out by looking back. Yeah, it is interesting. You know. You you talk about giving up a bunch of draft picks to to attain one of the one very good receiver, whether it be Deebo Samuel, Tyree Hill, a J Brown, whoever it is, and then you look back to that not working out and what they got for it. You know, you you have to think that the Jets one in this situation looking at

looking at the potential of these players. You Sauce Gardner, Jermaine Johnson, the guy who you traded for to get back into it. Um, you know, Garrett Wilson, you know, a dynamic receiver. There's so much value in these picks, and I think these guys are going to be foundational pieces for this team for years to come. They're gonna be guys that a lot of them are gonna be Pro Bowlers. They're they're gonna be here for quite some time, you know. I I think they're just good, high character guys,

high football guys. They have a ton of speed, their playmakers, and I think together as a group, they're gonna do much more than one receiver than adding one receiver would do. As you're building a roster, you have a quarterback after in his second year, so he's on his rookie deal. Now a lot of your best players are very very young players. So we're entering very um interesting time. But I think you gotta credit Joe Douglas, Staff and Robert Salo and company for getting the roster or to this

point two. Yeah, I mean it amps up expectation levels, right, I mean that's the key. I mean, you know, you see these guys get drafted at the top of the in the first round, and you know all all of them could have went in the top four. I mean that's how good they were top five even so, um, you know, they did their homework, they got the guys

they need it. They're able to kind of throw the dice out at that brief hall pick and bring a guy in as an at a piece because they kind of dominated the first round and got everything they needed. Um and uh. I think that every piece that they brought in will bring some type of uh be a some type of factor for this football team moving forward. So uh, you know you you mentioned Pro Bowl. I mean,

I hope that's where we get with these guys. But they're gonna be immediate on the field and they're gonna help the Jets. Now you're not waiting, you know, you gotta wait six games into the first season for these guys. These guys are gonna be ready to go their seasons. In my opinion, there's you know, you don't you know, take your time with them, Like, let's go get out there and do it. I mean, you know, there's a catering process with a lot of rookie sometimes across the league.

I think with these guys, they show good maturity, they're very high character, they work hard. They all have chips on their shoulder, even Sauce. I mean, listen, nobody, nobody even talked about him coming out of high school and look where he is now. Jermaine Johnson fighting all the way through juchos and multiple schools and and and and got disrespected. You know, some people said he was a top five pick and he goes to which is the

Jets are very fortunate. And then you know, of course Garrett Wilson is a true playmaker and a guy that probably lived up to the expectation of where he's at, big time college, big time player, and got drafted high. Yeah, and I don't want to put that expectation that they got to be Pro Bowl players, but I just look at the potential as far as what they can do and how they fit into this team. I think they're

going to be put in position to make plays. You know, you look at the defensive side of the ball, they're gonna be impact players right now. What the talent that the team has right now and the way that this defense is run, it's all about aitude effort, playing smart, playing tough, and that's what these guys bring to the table on defense. Offensively, you know, you have Garrett Wilson,

and look at the receiving corps. You know you've got Corey Davis, Braxton, Burios, Elijah Moore, the title, you got Conkling. You know, you have tight ends, you have an offensive line to protect a run game now. I mean all the pieces are kind of coming together to get the most out of all these players.

older at President of New Jersey. If you're someone you know has a gambling problem, call one seven zero seven one one seven A Sauce Gardner. This he a perfect fit for New York. He's he's got the swag, he's got the confidence, he's it's not over the top. Though. I know one thing that you you talked about he was that you loved that he said, I'm gonna absorb everything like a sponge. Uh, you know, I just like what he brings to the table on the field and off the field. Yeah, I mean he he brings a

great attitude. He's a physical presence on the field, but he has a confidence, but he has the humility as well. He understands that I'm a rookie, you know, I just got here. There's a lot for me to learn. And I think bringing that attitude along with the confidence of I can compete with everybody in this league. I think that's just gonna help. You know, he's gonna be coached up well. We've got some great defensive back coaches. Uh,

he's playing in a great scheme. You know when I look at him, you know, size wise, he's like a bigger version of Richard Sherman, and you think about him. Sherman was on social media the other day praise and he said, this is a perfect spot. It's a great spot for him because he can play. Yeah, he can play press coverage, you can play man to man, but he excels playing off the ball as well playing zone. He has great instincts, he has a terrific footwork, He's long.

You know, he's gonna cause a lot of problems for office to let me put you on the spot, man, what position group do you think God is most improved at this point? You can include free agency in the mix here since January, I almost well, the biggest improvement I would say tight ends when you talk about the guys that you did C j uz Almo, Tyler Conklin. Both of those guys could start for in the National Football League. They're both on the Jets. Then you had

a guy like Jeremy Ruckard. I know we kind of talked about this yesterday e A. He's one of those guys, Jeremy RUCKERD where if he steps in you can learn from a guy like c j Usama, Tyler Conklin, you stick your face in the fan. He's known as a run blocker. And the other position that I think is right where we stuck before was cornerback. Right now, it's crazy to me, I almost really can't wrap my mind

around at that. Bryce Hall and Brandon Echols, who both started last year, are now in the room that have Sauce Gardner d J Reid, And now you're talking about potentially there's a situation depending on how training camp shakes out, where Bryce Hall and Brandon eccles wouldn't start in a base defense. Look for your team and all those guys that were rookies last year and second year players like Hall and Eccles. I know Joe Douglas talked about this earlier.

They all got so much playing time that if their number were called at any point in the season, that you're not just being thrown into the fire and you don't know what you're gonna get. I feel like the Jets know what they're gonna get, and those players should continue to develop. I think those two positions really stand out to me. All right, before we look at a complete big picture, I think we gotta put a period of a couple of things, the trades of Jamal Adams

and Sam Darnald. First off, the Jets have now used all the pics that acquired. It's a team Jamal Adams UM in the Jamal Adams steel. I should say they traded up to get Elijah Barra Tucker last year UM, and then the obviously acquired Garrett Wilson with a number ten overall selection this year. So essentially that part of the deal. I know that we're other things coming coming and going there as far as the package is concerned, but essentially you're talking Jamal Adams for Elijah, Barrett Tucker,

and Garret Wilson. Yeah, Elijah tuckers like he's gonna be here forever, Like he's that good. So that that's a that's a stud move right there. And you know, Garrett Wilson's kind of rubbing on me a little bit. I like his demeanor, I like his the way he speaks, I love his game. Um, you know he comes from you know, Brian Hartline, who played a long time receiver in the NFL, was his coach. And uh, he's developing

good people, you know, extraordinary players, but good people. And I think that speaks volumes to to what they're getting. So um, you know, look, all due respect to Jamal Adams, you know he had some good years here, but clearly you know he's probably on the top of the mount kind of rolling down, whereas you're getting to rising one, rising star for sure because we've seen him playing. This kid, I mean with those numbers, Uh, he's gonna get his

chance now to be great. Yeah, Jamal is still a very good player in the National Football League, and when he's gonna be healthy, he's gonna get after that quarterback. He's gonna sell in the box. We know what he can do, but in Jordan white hands gonna bring that now, people, I'm serious. Now, I'm telling you, if he just matches what he did with the Bucks, I saw every snap we were talking said, uh oh boy, he's gonna be in a reference and you're like the guy all over

the field maybe a white had. I felt like, I hope he's not watching it. I thought we got we got him on the cheap. In my opinion, we got a good deal for him. And I'm telling you, I do a lot of spots and down in Tampa talking about them, and I talked about him every Monday morning because he shows up. Kid guy shows up and that's a pretty good defense. Todd bowls at down there. So you know he's gonna come here man, like he's gonna earn.

He's gonna demand some early respect. Like we're gonna hear Robert Salad and some of these guys tell him like dude, this George Whitehead. He's a dude, and you're gonna be excited about him, and he should show up. I mean, I'm telling you, if he's just the same dude, the same guy, it's gonna be more than the expectation of what he should be. I'm gonna go check to see what Seattle used with their fourth round pick they got from the Jets. That's going to complete the deal. But

also Sam Donald. Now, if you look at it and look at the draft picks acquired, the Jets got Jonathan Marshall late last year, they get Max Mitchell here on Day three of the draft, and then of course move up there in the second in order to get Breese Hall. So if you're looking at it, you can say Sam Donald for three players. Yeah, I mean Sam Donald was a guy who um never really turned the corner for

the Jets. And I think that if you're trying to move forward as the organization, you bring in, you know, a new head coach, a new offensive coordinator, it's time to move on. You know, you bring Zack Wilson in, your gonna move on for the quarterback to get as much as you can. And I like the value that they got for Sam. You know, I think Sam was a great guy, great teammate, but he didn't fit and you have to have the players in that fit the scheme.

And by drafting these young guys you're able to develop them and turn them into those players that you that you need to to play in this this team. Uh, Greens, I think you talked to Joe Douglas. Maybe it was last night after the first night of the draft, or what have you've been most impressed with so far here, either over the past eighteen months or during this offseason specifically. Yeah, I think it kind of goes hand in hand with what you were both or what you all three you

were talking about. The one thing that I want to say before I answered the question is I think that a lot of credit should go to Joe Douglas because I don't think it was necessarily a unanimously popular pick amongst Jets fans to deal those two guys in Jamal Adam and Sam Donald. He did, and you just laid it out. It feels like you've got great return for

both of those players. Especially it's kind of what Anthony said before, like you take a look at what they've done across the league rather recently, and they've had their moments, and Jamal Adams was hurt last year and so was Sam. But you know, if you told Jets fans that you traded Jamal Adams for the Hall that you got and Sam Donald. I think that fans would be on board with it, but obviously you don't know what you're gonna

get in those players when you deal those guys. What I've been most impressed with is just how Joe Douglass navigates the draft and how he's really overhauled the roster pretty quickly. I mean, his first draft, he didn't have the scouting process or he was hired in two thousand nineteen into two thousand twenty, so he Here's where I come back. Toy was more of a trade back here, and you're like, oh, is this gonna be Joe Douglass mL Well one comes around, goes up nine spots. He's like,

this is our guy, Elijah Bett. Tucker gives up two third round picks. He kind of lets the draft board come to him. Same thing this year. He goes up and he gets his guy, Jermaine Johnson. He goes up and gets Breece Hall, and I think, really what I've been most impressed with is the way that he's overhauled the roster pretty dramatically, pretty quickly as well, specifically in

the last twelve months. And I just think that Joe Douglas is a guy where he won't get fleeced, and he also will go up and make sacrifices with draft capital to get the guy that he feels is best suited for the football team. And we've seen that. So I should say as part of that, Jamal Adam steel Hawks use the Jets fourth round pick in order to take former Sauce Gardner teammate at Cincinnati, that of course

is Kobe Bryant. But those deals have set the Jets up for what they're going to become here in the future, because listen, the Jets said that they were gonna be comfortable with Sam Donald. They just thought this was a very unique opportunity to get Zach Wilson. Speaking of that, look at the quarterbacks this year. Every year we talked about the draft and we start with the quarterbacks. Well that wasn't the case this year. Kenny Pickett was the only quarterback to be taken in the first round. He

goes to the home town Pittsburgh Steelers. Is actually a New Jersey native. Malik Willis who people have been talking about four months. Maybe he's a top fifteen selection. He falls all the way to the third round, Matt Correll goes late, What did you think about what you saw from the quarterbacks? No surprise there, No, that's kind of what I expected, you know, and the media and all the pundits kind of we're pushing me and jabbing me to think otherwise. You know, everybody's like, oh, no, you're

gonna get four guys in the first round. I mean, this is that you know, Seattle, Atlanta, all these teams, and I'm just like, man, you know, like it's okay that we don't have a top tier quarterback. And quite frankly, there's a lot of good quarterbacks in the league right now. Unfortunately that some of the better ones are young. You know, you still got the old heads that are across the

league doing their thing. But you know, you're talking about now where you're getting some quality picks that are coming up to the league and making plays and like they're gonna be there for a long time. So it is hard to jump in and just say, hey, you gotta take this guy. He's gonna start like look at you know, pick it as he guaranteed to be the start of

this year. I don't even know. I mean, Mason Rudolphe he'll make it hard and whatever else and Mr Bisky, I mean, you know that's like, you know, what's the most ironic thing about the whole Sam Donald fit is that Carolina Panthers just took Yeah, and a lot of people thought he was going to be a first round pick. You know, he had a phenomenal season. I think you know, that kind of sends a message to Sam as to what they want to do. Matt rules under fire right now.

And I think that pick of Matt Correll is going to uh push dam hopefully to be the best player he could be. It's it's such an advantage you walk into a draft him and a quarterback in place like this year. You know, Matt rule to how it's different. He's got final sale roster here. We have a partnership with Robert Sala and Joe Douglas, and Joe's got a great staff, you know, Rex Hogan, Chat, Alexander Phil Savage.

Seasoned dudes have been around some good organizations. You need that you start coming in and making all this money as a coach, and you say, well, I gotta have final say on the roster. We'll look at them, you know, honestly, and I like Matt, but you know, it's not college anymore. It's a different deal. And you know Matt, I saw Matt Combine looks a little older, a little grayer in the hair. I mean, just a couple of years. I mean, it's so it's it's not it's not easy deal. That's

why you get the right people in the building. And and that's what you see. And this is a perfect example of a draft where everybody's on the same page. Man, everybody's excited. And and you got those guys in the organization that that have been through the Rigors Area. Scouts work a big time organizations and received the knowledge to make trades like Joe Douglas did, to move up to move down, you know, not to get fleece like Ethan

talked about. You know you're I mean, we could probably read the tweets the day that he traded Sam and the day that he traded Jamal, and we could probably see a lot of hate from like you were saying, I love to read something, and now now you know, you're probably like, oh, hell, let's read them because it's it works out in your favorite I love the Jamal trade.

And we're putting us all to bed because it's rightfully so we're putting a period done in the sentence because now you're seeing what those draft picks have actually become. They are names, they are people, They're not just picks anymore. The Jamal trade, I thought took courage because a lot of people, there's some old school football folks, he was a foundational player who would also say who would say

that you never trade the best players. He was He was supposed to be a foundational player and he was the best player on your team at that point. And look what you've done. You've opened the door to a lot of greatness with other kids, you know, other players that can come in, top tier players, you know, and guys who want to be here. That's not that's the other part of this. Guys want to be a Jet.

And I think the narrative around this organization is changing. Ethan, what was your favorite image of the draft as far as from a Jets perspective? Any of these balls, uh, you know are set apart for you? Or how do you rankle the images like in terms of just pure stand like still photos or video or anything that you've

seen at the building here over draft weekend. Well, first, I think it's pretty pretty jarring when you see the fourth overall pick, the tenth overall pick, and the twenty six overall pick all holding up the jerseys in the field house here at the Atlantic Health Jest Training Center. I mean that that's a pretty cool image. And you know that could be a photo where you look back in time and you really think like that was the catalyst to changing the narrative around the New York Jets

depending on what unfolds here. The other thing that I love, I'm a real sucker for these there's these videos where like Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson and Jamaine Johnson in particular, they're watching videos of their loved ones recording messages to them that they're then watching and you get the raw motion. And for Sauce Gardner it was his coach at Cincinnati, wasn't a family member. But I've really he liked those videos.

And to see Garrett Wilson get emotional, Jermaine Johnson and Sauce Gardner, to see all those guys kind of react naturally not knowing what they were about to hear, I think, to me, that's one of the coolest images. The other thing is I love seeing. Um, I'm real sucker for the phone calls, like when Joe and Rex and Coach Salah and all the guys called. The players love that. I'm all about that And there's a relatability there with

these guys. Well, yeah, when Joe is getting on the call and he's saying we're on the offan clock and he's hugging people and him and Salo embracing each other. The true emotion of that that appeals to this fan base because he taught Anthony was talking about it before these guys are together with everything where he talked about the he talked about the work that he put in picking up the phone and Pick four team and trying to find a partner to get you know, Jeremaine Johnson.

As picks are going and everybody's saying, no, how is it gonna work out for us? How do we get it done? And finally you get somebody to make that that play for you, and then you know there is uh, you know, your your heart's beat. I mean that you know when you're doing your job in particular field and whatever it is, and you and you do something like that that's exciting another you know to go back to

what you have to eat. Another funny moment that I thought was kind of remembering was how about our boy Breecee Hall big Time. He's over at Circle Hotel. It's got his own little private suite and they send the limo or whatever suv pick him up at the hotel. Say hey, man, come over here. Man when lets you went out down the stage and and do your things? I mean, you know that's big time right there. You get that. I'm watching it on the feet, you know, like where is it? And if people are like he's

in Vegas, I'm like, he's a Vegas. Don't get him? Yeah, pick him up first class. But uh, a lot of great moments throughout this week at Witment is now live in New Jersey and they're bringing the excitement of Wind Las Vegas to online sports betting, getting on all your favorite teams, players and sports from boost a Partlays to I've been game odds on every major sport.

Must be twenty one the older at president in New Jersey if you're someone you know has a gambling problem on seven

er seven one one seven the close here. What Sala said it that end of the year or something that's struck with me. We have to close the gap. And he's talking about inside the FCS the Buffalo Bills, two time defending champions. I'm not saying, hey, are the Jets ready for the Bills, But where do you think they kind of stand inside the division right now when you're just looking at the landscape and how the other teams have gone about addressing their needs and making changes, you know,

I mean we have to wait and see. I mean the Bills are doing it right now. I mean, you know, they're just adding pieces to add on to what they're already doing wing right So doing it and wanting to do it and be in the position to close the

gap is all it is right now. So when this team hits to feel week one, we're gonna find out, like you know, what is all this equal and I think that's a lot of teams in the league trying to figure out and put together draft capital, free agents and all this stuff so that they can propel themselves and be in the mix in their in their division. So, um, you know, now, does do the Bills have a lot more to worry about with the Jets? Absolutely, there's no doubt.

Yet you have to you have to account for these moves the free agent signs called bash them coming uh lawson, excuse me coming back. So all these guys, I mean, that's part of the process now where it's like, oh man, this is not going to be the same old team that's coming in. That's just the same. So I's think things are turning and and I love it. It's youth, it's uh, it's guys that aren't over priced, overvalued, and they're making the right moves, and you expect the product

to be better come this season. Something that Anthony told me earlier this offseason, I think, and it's resonated, was Hey, don't get caught up in the rest of the NFC. You you gotta conquer your division. You got you gotta start making in rolls inside. Yeah, I mean you play. You know, you play each other so many times twice a year. You have to dominate your your own division, play well at home and kind of set yourself up

from there. And you know that the great advantage that the Jets have right now in the a f C East is everyone right now is like, oh, the Jets are the bottom team right now. And you look at the teams like the Bills, they got the target on their back. You know, everybody wants to get after the Bills.

Everybody wants to get after the Patriots. So you know, you look at the Jets, they continue to gear up, gear up, and just kind of work in silence and continue to grow that bond, in that chemistry and that and just grow that mentality. They're gonna start sneaking up on teams and they're not gonna be uh, They're not

gonna be in the back for very long. It's gonna be the Jets are going to be the team to beat pretty soon, especially if you start adding in these great players, these high character players, and you added in the chemistry and the expectation from the coaches and just that energy. I just love it. That's why I love

the off season. That's what the off season is about getting in here, working hard together, sweating together, going through it, gaining that chemistry, and then you go out there and you fight for one another because you know, that's my brother, He's got my back. That's what it's about. Ethan. What's the feel out there around the league and from the

media's first what the Jets did here this weekend? I think kind of what Anthony said, I feel like everyone likes what the Jets have done in this draft and

really the off season. And you know, maybe there was no maybe in free agency there wasn't like a big swing, right, but what the Jets did getting Lake and Tomlinson, solidifying the offensive line, same thing with the cornerbacks room, and you couple that with what happened in the draft, I think when you kind of look at it from a wide angle, lens year this year is about playmakers and protection and just to give like a glimpse of what the Bears did, Like, the Bears don't really take an

offensive player. I think until VELAs Jones out of tennessee the wide receiver. Well, the Jets are doing the opposite. They both have second year quarterbacks and the Bears have their plan. But Joe Douglas with what's in place already, and you know what, let's get a receiver, Let's get a running back and Breece Hall. We we drafted or signed lake In Tomlinson for the offensive line. So this team I think has a blueprint of being a much better team on paper. Now let's see what happens when

the pads come on. But to what Anthony and e. C We're saying before, maybe the Jets were sneaking up on teams and you know, the Bills have a target on their back. Not saying the Jets are gonna go beat the Bills today or tomorrow, but I think in two thousand twenty two, I think that the Jets could take a significant step forward to see where Buffalo and New England Miami. Miami's put some pieces around to really gonna get a good read on what he is and what he's not. When he added Tyreek Hill in an

equation they got played. Make's there a very bright coach, but he's installing a new system. New England's and made a the playoffs last season. They had a fascinating draft. And we're not going to get into but uh kind of patriot like if he asked me. Uh, final thoughts here, I'm excited. I'm excited to get this thing going and seeing these guys really play and it's not developed, it's

just really get into the system and go. Um. I'm excited for for coach the floor and his system and what he's gonna be able to do offensively week to week. As exciting as it is as a challenge, there's a lot of guys now that you know, you got to try to feature and and and get Zack on the level and and uh and make and and make it so that he can play better. Uh. You know, and I'm interested to see the jump Zach makes, you know, from a leadership standpoint, from a from a mentally a

mental standpoint. You know, physically he's gifted. I think that's why he is where he is. But everything else that culminates being a great quarterback. You know, all those things and that's for all the guys. But you know, when you play quarterback that that has to raise. And again we've seen significant jumps across the NFL with a lot of quarterbacks, so you know, there's no real The offensive line is much better. I think it's a top ten offensive line and that's just way the way it is.

They're gonna run the ball better, They're gonna have a better line, the passing games who improve, you know, and and I'll get Corey Davis too. I mean, he's a guy that was brought here to be a significant part of this offense. He has to have a big year as well. So all of those things that that mold competition, and it's gonna be fun. So these someone they're gonna somebody's gonna rise up to the top. Hopefully it's more

than just one or two pieces. A lot more guys raise up and they start seeing every single day like, you know what, we got shot and that's gonna be the biggest thing. The great thing is they've set it off where Wilson doesn't have to carry this team. Anthony was just talking about it. We've been talking about it ad nauseum throughout the weekend. The line should be good. You have a lot of depth at the running back position. You just add a dynamic playmaker. Their priests hall you

like your receivers. That was before getting Garrett Wilson. Wilson is that dynamic playmaker. You've got so much better at the tight position. So it's set up now for Wilson to have success and to actually make that lea and he's got a great defense, you know. On the other side, that's what I'm excited about Jeff Obrick and the in the pieces that he added to this defense. You look in the secondary. You know, last year it was a lot of youth, a lot of young guys who didn't

have experience. Now you had DJ Read. You know, you get Sauce Gardner, you add white Head, you know there's there. You get a Joiner coming back from injury. You know, there's a lot of help in that secondary. Then you add all the pass fresher, Jamin Johnson, Carl Lawson coming back from injury. I'm excited about what this team is going to do. They're gonna force a lot more turnovers. That's gonna put Zack Wilson in a great position. They're

gonna win the field position battle. And then that's really what it's all about. Ethan. With this, I mean the fan base. I've been here for few years. They I haven't seen them reached this kind of pitch in a long time. I think the excitement is building. I think that the environment and not life stadium is going to be different. I definitely agree with that, and you know, I'm really excited to see what the home opener is, whatever that is, and I know the schedule is gonna

be released in a couple of weeks. But to your point, it feels like, you know, the draft is always interesting from the fan perspective in terms of reaction, and I feel like by far and away, the reaction has all been positive. And Anthony kind of talked about it too yesterday. He's like, well, so far in the draft, like fans really know who each of the players are that the Jets drafted just by name. So to me, I think

that probably speaks to the reaction of the fans. And I think that if you're a Jets fan, you have reason to be excited even before the draft took place, with the additions in free agency and the return of guys like Corey Davis, like Carl Lawson, like McKay Beckton. Then you couple all that together. I mean, we'll see what happens, but there's no reason to not be excited right now if you're a fan of the New York These guys are excited because I think Coleman's going back

to Florida. This guy's got a dinner tonight. What are your plans? Uh? My plans are probably to sit on my couch, you know, to sit on my cows, maybe bossing TV. Probably order food because you know, I feel like, you know, I could, I could go at night without cooking, just you know, enjoy some time on the couch and then I get a good night's sleep and probably start to think about, um, what numbers these guys are gonna Yeah,

there you go, that's time for another podcast. Two thousand twenty two New York Jets Draft is come and gone. You got a chance to be an historic one the first time three first round picks since two thousand and one. One of one of our buddies up here, Anthony Back, was part of the four aces. But this is the draft in its entirety for the Jets of mod Sauce Gardner in the first round, Garrett Wilson in the first round, Jermaine Johnson and first round, Breece Hall in round two.

And then where do we go from there? Either h yep, Jeremy Rutckard out of Ohio state and then he finally finished up with two fourth round picks. There's uh graphic Max Mitchell and Michael Clements. Uh, we will see you soon. The fellows are getting out of here, and so Ma
