    This so-called HoF QB somehow pulled off a season (4-12, soon to be 4-13) even Zach Wilson couldn't match (7-10).

    So - we are back to the drawing board.

    Simulating from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft

    My first crack:


    34. Derrick Harmon DT Oregon
    38. Aireontae Ersery OT Minnesota
    61. Jack Sawyer EDGE Ohio State
    64. Tate Ratledge OG Georgia
    93. Jaxson Dart QB Ole Miss
    102. Gunnar Helm TE Texas
    110. Tai Felton WR Maryland
    154. Malachi Moore S Alabama
    161. Benjamin Yurosek TE Georgia
    183. Jamon Dumas-Johnson LB Kentucky

    2026 BUF 2nd
    2026 BUF 3rd
    2026 KC 3rd
    2026 LV 3rd

    Space eater next Q (34)
    Future RT prospect (38)
    Edge-setter/Run defender opposite Will McDonald (61)
    RG prospect (64)
    Backup QB/future prospect (93)
    TE prospect (102)
    WR prospect (110)
    FS prospect (154)
    TE prospect (161)
    ILB prospect (183)

    If I'm the new GM, I'm looking to trade Gardner and Hall.

    Gardner can probably get you two 1st round picks and Hall probably and 3rd and 5th.

    No way on Gardner unless you get a haul, I mean two first rounders. For what? Who is our CB then?

    Hall, I can see it but it wouldn't yield enough to warrant it IMO. Year 3 on rookie deal, healthy, and looking for a big 2nd contract. It won't demand anything aboe a 3rd i'd fear. Might as well keep him at this point.

    Trading completely out of the first round? Are you crazy?

    I've had Graham fall as low as #16.

    I recognise a lot of those names from my fee goes but far too many of them don't have the background page to double check on them.

    I notice there are some OTs I around the 40s that have good write ups, a couple of them better than the two OTs booked for a top 20 pick, those two seem to have a couple of big doubts about them, one of them even being talked about as moving to guard.

    Since we have a decent left tackle I am just hoping that with two lottery tickets in round four one of them can play right tackle.

    My second attempt was better than my first as I got the top rated player in the entire draft at pick # 15.

    The only pick of ours I sacrificed was our 2026 fifth rounder which I swapped for a fourth rounder:

    # 15 Travis Hunter CB Colorado Height: 6 - 1 |Weight: 185 lbs

    # 46 Harold Fannin Jr. TE Bowling Green Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 230 lbs
    # 49 Landon Jackson EDGE Arkansas Height: 6 - 7 |Weight: 282 lbs

    # 96 Rod Moore S Michigan Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 198 lbs

    # 106 Will Howard QB Ohio State Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 236 lbs
    # 107 Antwane Wells Jr. WR Ole Miss Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 205 lbs

    # 181 Hunter Wohler S Wisconsin

    2026 ATL 2nd
    2026 CIN 2nd
    2026 CIN 4th
    2026 LV 7th

    I guess it is for fun and all but I don't see Travis Hunter falling to 15 unless he gets caught raping someone. On video.

    After the draft I did for the Browns recently I have spent the last few days preparing my Hall of Fame acceptance speech.

    I can see the benefit in it, if that's your thing. It makes you more familiar with the needs of other teams when you're doing mock drafts.

    But why is it in the section of the forum titled New York Jets rather than the one dedicated to the National Football League?

    Because we don't have a draft forum that specifies non-Jets?

    For fun.

    Higher draft pick means more opportunities for a better draft class.

    I tried it with the Titans but for whatever reasons it was harder starting at # 1 overall than # 2.

    I did the same and three times I got no trade offer, the 4th time I initiated one with the Jets and got the 1st and 2nd, the one posted above.

    There used to be a really good draft game, that it recorded your draft score and you could do it for all teams and the scores added up, but it seemed to go kaputt a couple of years ago and now I cna't remember what it was called to go and check to see if it is back working again.
