    Mendoza just beat the best defense in the last 10 years in CFB, he’s worth the hype.

    saw Moore play QB this year, gives me one read Justin Fields vibes tbh

    Simpson could be good but needs time. A RS year. I’d get him and try and trade for Mac Jones if possible.

    love Carnell Tate, CJ Allen, the LsU S Hauley to name a few.

    Agree with all of this. I really would like to see them grab Tate. We need a physical receiver to compliment Wilson, I'm tired of watching our top receiving option get physically dominated by the better corners in the league.

    I think we’re looking at some combination of these positions with our first four picks: WR, Edge, ILB, FS, QB and OL.

    It’ll be interesting to see what they try to fill in free agency. I’m wondering if Membou is a better fit at OG and they target the Miami OT whose a monster.


    I like the LSU safety and Kamari Ramsey from USC is supposed to be a stud safety as well. I think he calls the plays there too. We need a safety and linebacker badly.

    The good news is that Colts Pick will turn into a top 15 pick. I think we need to trade back one time to yield an additional second.

    And now let’s hope Dallas looses a few games. I want a top second.

    I do think Mendoza is worth the hype and trade up but not if it's at the expense of like three first round picks.

    Cignetti is the man and Indiana is for real. That's an NFL caliber defense at OSU and Mendoza did pretty alright against them (that 3rd down throw to extend the drive and end the game was a dime). Dante Moore will come out and will probably be the #1 QB taken. Ty Simpson will head back to Bama after his dismal last quarter of the season. No other QB's are worth a first round pick this year. Jets aren't getting a QB unless someone slips or we overpay to trade up.

    I think Mac Jones would disappoint here big time…he has only performed under Shanahan, and unfortunately, he doesn’t coach for us…I think he would be a disaster here

    I absolutely will eat some well earned "crow" for Mendoza's play. He did look good!

    Then he just HAD to do the presser, post game. Man...this kid is going to get his ass torn up from the floor up in NY. Just an opinion but I've seen his type before. He'll spend more time on a leather couch than he will in the Trainers room. Again, I don't know him but that's my gut feeling. Also, I take most of College football with a grain of salt these days. Sorry, but that is NOT an NFL caliber defense Ohio State has there. Yes, there are a small handful of players, on that defense, that are NFL caliber but, then again, that IS college football. Let's not confuse the two.

    As I've stated before, if a QB falls and they want to take a chance, by all means...go for it. Personally, if I were the GM, I wouldn't but it's not my call to make. If the Jets burn ANY draft capital to move up it will just be to the detriment of the team.
