    I always love the week after the draft when Jets blogger types put out all the film on our rookies. Allen's is by far the most intriguing. His size is absurd, he's got really good vision and the motor is there. Thank god Wisconsin changed up systems on him or else he'd have been gone in the second round. I think he's going to be a perfect complement to Hall and although I'm tempering expectations, he's got the tools to be an every down guy (even though those don't really exist anymore). I maintain that this pick was just as much about 2026 as it is 2024.

    I've been impressed by Davis' film as well. He's got quick feet for a guy his size.

    If you haven't watched it already, watch the tape of the interview with Braelon at: https://www.newyorkjets.com

    He's obviously a smart, disciplined, thoughtful, and well-spoken young man.

    He is going to wear number 0 with the Jets and that’s so cool for a power back

    Love the AJ Dillon comps. I expect us to see the best of Allen in his sophomore campaign.

    Much like in GB, with Jones and Dillon- the Jets could have their guys in Breece/Allen

    we will be a run heavy team that sets up the pass and can grind you down to close out the game
