    No change for me. You may have figured this out by my posts or just by my name, but I'm jaded AF and ALWAYS expect something to go wrong with this team. I don't care if we had first team all-pros at every position, I'd still be anxious and waiting for a (the?) shoe to drop. Always going to be that way until they (if ever) win.

    Draft grades are probably the goofiest thing in sports, but people eat that shit up. I guess it's harmless fun but I just don't see the fun part.

    This is a playoff team if the injury bug doesn’t hit too hard. Once a team is in the playoffs you never really know what will happen….

    It would be nice if Lady Luck shined on the Jets just once lol.

    Absolutely. I suppose the grades are for the armchair GMs of the world - like most of us. The grades are really for interpretations of the front office intentions along with filling roster holes and level of talent depicted by scouts. We all know the real grades shouldn’t be made at least for 2-3 years.

    He was just at the facility throwing … would be afraid that maybe it didn’t feel the way he expected

    Jets ptsd is very real… I’m always waiting for the bottom to fall out, a leg to fall off and I don’t trust anything to go well

    Never confident with this franchise. It's cursed. Until they win a Super Bowl I will never be happy. I think we will have to wait until Joe Willie passes away to kill the curse.

    for what it's worth....If i could find a betting line on it...i feel it strongly enough that i'd throw $50 or a $100 that he steps away before the first preseason game snap.

    I felt that the 2022 team had a winning roster, they just needed a QB. Come 2023, now they have a QB, so my confidence level was still high. Come 2024, it all depends on Rodgers 1) does he stay healthy 2) does he perform as we expect him to, whatever that is, at age 40. If those 2 items are positive, then my confidence level is the same as it was the last 2 seasons.....high that they will win enough to get into the playoffs. However, I don't believe they will win a SB this season. This team has not played together long enough to work out the kinks. Maybe next season if Rodgers plays.

    Last year was the year. Down years for Burrow, Herbert, and Allen. Less weapons for Mahomes, Stroud rookie year.... Jets are gonna have to fight tooth and nail to make it this year

    That's the part that shakes my confidence.
    But, I'm a Jets fan, confidence or not I'll be watching... although I haven't watched any Saleh this off-season...

    I'm more confident.

    I love our roster!

    QB - Aaron Rodgers, Tyrod Taylor, Jordan Travis

    RB - Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, Israel Abanikanda, Isaiah Davis

    WR - Garrett Wilson, Irv Charles

    WR - Mike Williams, Allen Lazard, Jason Brownlee

    WR - Malachi Corley, Xavier Gipson

    TE - Tyler Conklin, Jeremy Ruckert, Zack Kuntz

    LT - Tyron Smith, Olu Fashanu

    LG - John Simpson, Wes Schweitzer

    C - Joe Tippmann, Wes Schweitzer

    RG - Alijah Vera-Tucker, Max Mitchell

    RT - Morgan Moses, Carter Warren

    Some important notes:
    • Of the current projected starters along the offensive line, only Tippmann and Vera-Tucker are returning from last season. Also, only Simpson started every game during the 2023 season so depth will be tested.
    • Is this the best quarterback room the Jets have had in years? Taylor and Rodgers combine for over 30 years of NFL experience to help nurture Travis.
    • Corley is expected to be an immediate target right away in the Jets offense. Expect big things from the third round pick.
    • Despite the apparent finality of the group, the Jets do have some cap space to make additional moves in free agency. New York could add another receiver or offensive linemen by the time the new year rolls around.

    I'll say that it could be a playoff team, but with Hackett as OC and Saleh as HC, I'll believe it when I see it happen.

    Pretty good shot at the Jets' offense. I have a couple of quibbles with it. One, will the Jets keep 4 RBs on the roster? I'm not sure that Charles should be Garrett's backup. I think I'd rather see Malik Taylor in that spot. Also, the 3rd TE spot belongs to Kenny Yeboah, not Zack Kuntz. Finally, I'm torn on Fashanu. In one way, for Fashanu it would perhaps be better to just let him focus on LT this season, but for the team, I think it might be better to have him as the swing OT and backup both Smith and Moses. I don't want to see Carter Warren on the field unless he shows in TC and preseason that he belongs on the field. I'm also not sure that Max Mitchell should be AVT's backup rather than Jake Hanson.

    I don't think they have much cap space, and I would think that probably will have to be saved for emergencies during the season.

    The biggest thing holding this Jets team back is its offensive CS. As long as that situation remains, I'll stay in wait and see mode.

    I keep going back to it but since someone posted the depth chart, I just cannot believe we had a top 10 pick and ended up with a backup/depth piece
