They might if the Raiders win. If the record is same, it's based on strength of schedule. Weaker SoS gets the nod. Right now in SoS we are behind the Giants but ahead of the Raiders. It is very close though. I think the Giants will end up with weaker SoS than us, but between the Raiders and us is VERY close. Ideally the Raiders win, and we move ahead of them to #3. If the Giants win, the Raiders will be #1, the Browns #2, and the Giants #3. This is the worst case scenario for us if we want Moore or Mendoza. If the Raiders win, the Giants will stay 1, then Browns, and then likely us, the at #4 the Raiders. This is much better.
The problem is Winston is also not bad. Maybe at this stage even better than Dart. Really hoping the Raiders will pull this off somehow but very unlikely.
I think it's all conjecture at this point. The Jets are NOT getting the 1 or 2 pick just by sheer virtue "we are the Jets." There are also NO FA QB's worth 2 shits this offseason. I think there are a number of threads on that subject. Hell, Tyrod Taylor might just be the best we can find, IF he even decides to stay. Bottom line, the Jets are going to pay, BIG time to move up for one of these kids and that's IF a trade is even on the table. I was listening to Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller, yesterday/Tuesday, and Jim Miller, VERY subdued, asked Pat what he thought of the Jets situation and, for the first time in my life, Kirwan had NOTHING to say. I know he has a soft spot for the Jets, for obvious reasons, and he just sounded full blown dejected. This team is in a world of shit the next couple of years and it doesn't sound like there is a whole lot that can be done about it other than to "live" through it or throw away so many resources that, yeah you get the QB, but sacrifice the entire team to do it. Realistically with all the fun and speculation removed, it really doesn't look good right now and it probably will continue for a while. This, of course, is all assuming Glenn extracts his head from his ass and somehow learns a crap ton about being a head coach before the start of the 2026 season AND Mougey hits on every-single-pick.
If both Raiders and Browns win, Jets will be picking 2nd considering they will lose to the Pats. Let's create this prayers thread to send goo vibes to Los Angeles and Cleveland for the magic to happen! Go Raiders Go Browns May God be with you!
I'm not a religious man (in my best Forrest Gump impression), but I'd throw a little Karma to the Browns and Raiders if they would be so kind as to win.
Cheer for the Packers over the Ravens to. If the Ravens lose, the Steelers clinch the division on Saturday night. Therefore the Steelers have nothing major to play for against Cleveland on Sunday.
Agreed and I dont think Carrol is in a position to just tank here. Hes basically fighting for his job at this point it sounds like so winning the last 2 games would help his case.
So far things did not go our way. With the Cowboys win over Washington our strength of schedule is basically right with the Raiders. They might need to win both of their games for us to jump them.
not really sure why anyone cares about where we draft, we've basically had a top 10 pick for 15 plus years straight and we seem to get worse and worse every year. do ppl really think - we'll know the correct prospect to draft - know how to develop said prospect - build a game plan for this prospect - eventually sign this prospect to a 2nd contract we never do these things, lets stop living in dreamland. instead we'll: - overdraft someone - expect a miracle from mediocre prospect - give them zero support - create a game plan that caters to this prospects weak points - watch this kid struggle and everyone from fans to media turn on him - eventually dump him for pennies on the dollar and draft his replacement, with most likely another top 10 draft pick and then start the whole process over again.
Look. I can’t dispute anything you wrote above. This has been our reality past 15 years. That said, a very high draft pick can’t hurt. By luck we might stumble upon the next Mahomes or Allen. Who knows really?
Even if we did, the Jets would ruin the guy's career before it even gets off the ground. This franchise had a good QB in Darnold and decided to let him go because they had that #2 overall pick burning a hole in their pocket.
Remember when some people here tried to say Zach Wilson would be better than Trevor Lawrence? Good times....
We had a terrible GM at the time and failed Sam. Sam was off to a start with bad regime, but so was Lawrence, Caleb, and Maye. The problem is, when JD came he made it worse. Sam didn't have good supporting cast before, and JD made it worse of all time. Perriman, semi retired Gore, and Herndon were his top weapons. They got total of like 300 yards for the rest of their career combined. and no OL. Now it feels like the situation is better. OL is much better, and we have some weapons. Coaching is still a question mark and ideally would be replaced. But if not, perhaps at least enough not to ruin the guy. So this could be the situation of Lawrence, Caleb, and Maye and not the disaster that Sam was in. At least I hope so.
There, added the final piece. Can't forget that MOST of our high draft picks end up going somewhere else and being, at the very least, a decent player for said team.
This is the first game in NFL history featuring two teams on 9 game losing streaks. Pretty funny that it’s one of only two games on at 4:25PM on Sunday too.
