    Allar back to PSU for 2025.

    It's going to be Jalen Millroe or bust imo. The more I think about it, the more I think he's our guy, draft him and don't look back. I mean he is no slouch. He played great games against UGA and LSU. People expect him to be the next Josh Allen but I think you are going more of the Lamar Jackson/Kyler Murrary/Russell Wilson Seattle route.

    if we can solidify the OL with a RT, get a TE, and slot WR, he can game manage this O. I think this may be the move. Developing a Josh Allen is a once in a lifetime move. Drafting a dual threat, proven player, at the highest level in CFB and then giving him weapons is always a reasonable formula.

    A good game vs a good Michigan D may get him into the Top 10

    I like Milroe a lot too. He’s such an unbelievable talent but man is he a polarizing prospect. Him versus Georgia and Oklahoma are a good example of the exact opposite ends of the spectrum as to what he can be.

    I wonder if he goes back to try to win a Heisman.

    Could go back but he should be QB3 now. Jets can obviously go in a million different directions. We lost out on Ward/Sheduer, which is fine but the playmaking ability here is special. I just think if we don't ask him to do too much, surround him with weapons and bring him along slowly...no reason he can't be a good players here. At pick 8, he could really be in play.

    North Dakota State receiver Bryce Lance #5 looks like the next Christian Watson. Tons of speed, big body and great hands. I’m interested to see if he comes out.

    South Dakota State has some big boys up front and their runningbacks that look like pro players.

    I’m not sure if he’ll be a good enough route runner at the next level but good lord does Savion Williams have ball skills and he’s super elusive in the open field.



    He reminds me a lot of young Brandon Marshall (before he was just a possession guy only). 6’5” 225. I’m just not really sure why he’s not higher on some boards? He’s an older prospect and despite the highlights hasn’t been super productive.

    Kyle McCord looks more and more like Baker every time I see him. It’ll be interesting to see if he gets his waiver to go back to school or declares for the NFL. Seems like he’s going to be a late riser.

    He is our guy. He has done well at both OSU and Cuse. Maybe he's not Jayden Daniels but if he's behind a good OL and a WR, he could be ready to go Y2 imo.

    Tyler Warren on the other hand, yes. May be a dark horse top 10 pick

    May end up being the pick. If he has experience at LT, could be a great insurance piece for us too. May just need to go extreme OL with average QB route unless we plan to trade up for a QB. Maybe Jordan Travis can be our Dak Prescott hidden gem, game manager.

    He has started at LT at Texas all 3 seasons. They say he can play both LT or RT because of his build, though. I like him for his experience in a run-first offense.

    His name is Kelvin Banks Jr. and he is from the same hometown as..... Jets HC Candidate/former player Aaron Glenn!

    Banks and Will Campbell are both good selections at tackle. I’m all in on building a wall and running game and figuring out the rest later including defense.

    You should be able to build an OK defense with later round picks, mid-tier free agents and good coaching.
