    Don't look now but Jets are picking 5th as of this week. Wow. With Rodgers and all we were all so hyped but 5 losses in 7 weeks. Time to track the draft order or too soon?

    Here is the problem - Tank for WHAT? What single draft pick would get you excited for this team next year?

    None for next year. Next year is a lost cause.

    1 - No competent or highly rated GM/HC will come here because they are locked into AR
    2 - Cam Ward b/c that'll be exciting for 2026

    Draft picks won't matter. We get them wrong at a staggering clip

    I will note, we are "spending" like drunken' sailors with draft equity. We should not be spending picks on players moving forward. Have to have something for the next GM to rebuild with.

    I still think Shedeur is worth it but not a lot of people do and I think Deion will raise hell to get him to a franchise that’s not trash like us.

    We just aren’t bad enough to tank though. We have enough good players on defense and play a conservative scheme that is designed to prevent big plays. We have good offensive skill players and a QB who barring injury is going to keep firing.

    Yeah let's tank so that Joe Douglas can pass on elite talent to try to fix another one of his mistakes.

    Or maybe use it so we can lure another rookie HC here so we can draft a rookie QB to go with a rookie OC.

    What is the point? I've seen the dumpster burn down before.

    The most Jetsy thing in the world would be to draft Sanders and then have him hold out and demand a trade.

    we have a top 5 pick right now, time to give Rodgers what he wants and make his butt buddy our head coach, tank right this time.

    Not bad enough to tank and stay top 5.

    I do think we need a DT opposite Q or a power D-end though

    This D-line has been DECIMATED by JD this past off-season

    Almost there I am afraid. Could be 1 more week if we embarrass ourselves in NE again.

    Drake Maye looking pretty good for a rookie. I could see them beating us. When was the last time we swept the season series vs. New England anyway?

    Other crappy teams:
    NE
    MIA 2x
    AZ
    JAGS
    RAMS

    So you’re saying there’s a chance:
    IND doesn’t look amazing.
    BUF split?
    HOU beat them last season.


    Not in tank mode yet. I mean, it’s the Jets. Why would the brand new GM get a swath of high round draft picks to play with?

    After five years of building, 7 games into the all in season and were already talking about tanking. I could imagine it if the QB or star players were down. But there here, and we just got another top WR. This has to be some kind of record, even for the Jets. This team is way to talented to not win at least 4 more games.
