00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Picture Jet Podcast, The Draft Podcast presented

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: by PEPSI, another emergency pod. Here Ethan Greenberg, Ya, Anthony Beck,

3
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: Eric Coleman. I'm pointing. It looks like I'm pointing directly

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: at the camera, but really Anthony and Eric Coleman are

5
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: on the other side of the bet MGM studio here

6
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: and the Jets. So far, we're recording this ten eight

7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: teen PM. The third round still going on. The Jets

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: have no third round picks, but at pick thirty four

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: they add to the offense wide receiver Elijah Moore out

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: of Old Miss e A. Let's start with you. What

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: do you like about to pick now? I love to

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: pick great failure. Joe Douglas said it after the pick

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: that they think the New York Jets think they have

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: selected three players in this draft with first round value.

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: They were shocked he was there at the start of

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: the second round. Crossed their fingers that the Jacksonville Jaguars

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: went in another direction, and they sure did. And you're

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: talking about the most productive receiver in the best conference

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: in all of college football last year average nearly a

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: hundred fifty yards receiving per game, nearly eleven catches per game.

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: You can line them up all over the field. This

22
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: is a nice weapon, a b for your rookie quarterback,

23
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. Yeah, you're right. I think it's great. You know,

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: I think you know a lot of people probably thought

25
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: or would have guessed defense would have been this pick, right.

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: But I think when you think about it a little

27
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: bit about what Joe douglass mindset is, He's like, I'm

28
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: not going to allow this quarterback to fail. I'm gonna

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: be deliberate about what I'm gonna do, and I'm gonna

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: get him another weapon. And like when I look at

31
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: Elijah More, I think about, like, okay, slot guy, slash

32
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: gadget guys slash one on one guy on the outside.

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: He can do so much for you. Catch the ball

34
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: literally at the line of scrimmage and get your seventy

35
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: eight or even a touchdown home run yards. So um,

36
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a smart pick. I think, like you said, Eric,

37
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, when you have a guy that's rated in

38
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: the top twenty five on your board and he's still

39
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: available at thirty four, then bam, you pounce on that

40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: and it's someone that can contribute to the football team. Immediately.

41
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean think about it. You know, for a for

42
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: a group of wide receivers on this football team last year,

43
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: not coming into this season, man, totally different look for

44
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: this football team. You gotta be excited about it. Yeah,

45
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 1: you do have to be excited. I mean Elijah Moore

46
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: is you know, he's a well rounded receiver, excellent route runner.

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: Um does a great job of finding holes and defenses,

48
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: beating one on one coverage, and once he gets the

49
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, he's very dynamic. I mean, you're

50
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: talking about a guy who has ten catches a game,

51
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: but he's getting the yards after catch as well. He's physical,

52
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: he's tough. He's a punt return type guy, which is

53
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: always tough for defensive backs. Right, You're you're covering a

54
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: guy and once he gets the ball, he does all

55
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: this space in front of him and he can shake

56
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: and bake and he can take it the distance. I mean,

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: we're watching highlight videos versus Florida l S Shoe, Alabama,

58
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: Arkansas all burn. I mean, like these are I bet

59
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: you the SEC has the most players drafted right now

60
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: in the draft. So like he I see a lot

61
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: of space between him and those guys. So which leads

62
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: me to believe that like count on that happening in

63
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: the in the in the league as well. So it's

64
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: a good pick man, It's I'm excited, I can't wait,

65
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: And this kind of builds like, what's this offense gonna be? Man,

66
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: and a guy like this can really be spent. Ethan,

67
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: you had a chance to talk to him, your takeaways

68
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: and also what do you think about how Douglas has

69
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: improved the position as a whole this offseason. Well, to

70
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: answer the last part of your question, first, you think

71
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: about where this receiving corps was before free agency and

72
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: now you have Corey Davis, Denzel Mims, calin Cole, Jamison Crowder,

73
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: Elijah More missing anyone, and then you go down. You

74
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: go Braxton Barrios, Joe Douglas, resigned, Vincent Smith. I think

75
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: Josh Doxon is still on this team even though he

76
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: signed last office. Jeff Smith. I mean, wide receiver might

77
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: be one of the deeper positions on the Jets now

78
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: and that was very much not the case at the

79
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: beginning of the off season. And really, you know with

80
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore Anthony Anthony talked about it right the SEC

81
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: play DeVante Smith is the Heisman Trophy winner, plays in

82
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: the same conference, and Elijah Moore led the country in

83
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: receptions and receiving yards per game. And what I really

84
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: liked about watching the highlights, you see him go over

85
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: the middle and he doesn't jump in the air to

86
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: catch ball, he just runs right through. And Daniel Jeremiah

87
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: talked about it. I'm curious what all three of you

88
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: think about the different player comparisons that came to air.

89
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: Let's say, after Elijah Moore was drafted, Booker McFarlane compared

90
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: him to Steve Smith, and then I saw Reggie Sane

91
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: compared Elijah more to Santana Moss. So let's start with you.

92
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: What do you think about the comparisons there? And I

93
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: do want to say player comparisons is a weird exercise

94
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: to begin with, so I just want to leave that

95
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: at that. Well, Eric defended against Steve Smith, so I'd

96
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: like to get his thoughts on it. And I'm not

97
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: saying Elijah Moore is gonna be as productive as Steve Smith,

98
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: because you look at those numbers over the course of

99
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: his career, amazing and that's a nice comparison. He should

100
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: feel flattered about that. Comparison, but Steve Smith, where he

101
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 1: was a tough cookie. I think actually Elijah More probably

102
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: has more straight a head speed. Right, he's a sub

103
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: four four guy. He's a four three guy, but he's

104
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: got that toughness to his game and I love his versatility. Uh,

105
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: Santana Moss was a little bit of a different player

106
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: I think than Elijah More. What do you think, Well,

107
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I do like both comparisons. Steve

108
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: Smith is an amazing route runner as well. He's great

109
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: after the ball. But Santana Moss. You know, when I

110
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: when I watched Elijah More with the ball in his

111
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: hands or when he even running routes, He's one of

112
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: those guys that can be running full speed stop on

113
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: a dime change direction. And that was what Santana Moss

114
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: did better than any receiver that I ever faced or

115
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: played with. You know, Santana's mass is his change of

116
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: direction was amazing and I see that in the Elijah More.

117
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: But I like to Steve Smith comparison to young Steve Smith.

118
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: When he was coming out of Utah as apart returner,

119
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: he was a gadget guy. Yeah, he ran excellent rounds,

120
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: but he can take the top off of defense as well.

121
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: And I see all these things in Elijah More and

122
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: it's going to be exciting when you get him. With

123
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. You have the protection up front, and then

124
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: you add him with this core of wide receivers that

125
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: you already have. I think it's just a great recipe. Yeah,

126
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, when I look at him, I think about

127
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: like a blend of like Percy Harvin's uh kind of

128
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: athleticism with Cole Beasley's instincts right on that end the slot.

129
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: So you know, he's a guy again like very twitter

130
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: g gets to space quickly and once he gets on

131
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: the move, man, he's really hard to defend. I mean

132
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: you're talking about, you know, playing that slot outside receiver.

133
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: He can be a running back, come out of the

134
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: backfield run routes. Just like you saw there. He's the

135
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: pointment inside guy on the bunch coming across the field

136
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: on you think about the offense that the forty nine

137
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: is on the play action stuff where they they slide

138
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: a receiver from left to right underneath the line. You

139
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: can't see the guy right, so he's gonna slide out

140
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: there and now he's running a four three with the

141
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, getting up the field before the

142
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: linebacker or the end even figure it out. And you

143
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: got your outside receiver running deep to pull out the

144
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: corner who's stopping this guy in the first So you

145
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 1: can be really creative. You can really open up your book,

146
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: and you know, if you're a defense think about it, like, Okay,

147
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: you got a guy like Mims, like we what we

148
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: saw just a small kind of a window with him

149
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: last year. A guy that's got great catch radius, can

150
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: can make the contested catches, but you know he's gonna

151
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: attract attention. Corey Davis another guy again, we saw him

152
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: blend in Tennessee with with another old miss receiver A J. Brown.

153
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: Will guess what, He's got another old mister receiver here.

154
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know what that means, but hopefully it

155
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: means good things because they really hit it off pretty

156
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: well in Tennessee. So again Joe thinking about how do

157
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: I make my quarterback better? How do I protect my

158
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: quarterback number one? And you know, if they can run

159
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: the ball, they're gonna have to run the ball. This year,

160
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: these guys become even bigger weapons. So I can't wait

161
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: to see what this offense is you know, you think

162
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: about just what the forty Niners have done offensively under

163
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, and we're getting that here and that that's innovation.

164
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: That's a little bit more of uh, you know, deception,

165
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: play action, just you know, really honing into the core

166
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: of what offenses can be. But when you got speed

167
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: wrapping around into it, man, what are you gonna do

168
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: if you're safety, Like, you come down the box, you

169
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: go back and bam, all of a sudden, Elijah Moore

170
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: is running right by it at four three speed. You're like, oh,

171
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: you know, even you're leaving kind of situations. So I'm

172
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: should be if follows think about this. Corey Davis, the

173
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: number five overall pick in the two thousand seventeen NFL draft.

174
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: Jets think he's still on a Sundy player at twenty

175
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: six years old. Denzel Mims a B mentioned him before

176
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: showing the flashes down the stretch his rookie campaign. He

177
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: also has sub four four speed right he's on during

178
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: the second season. Corey Davis never ran because he was

179
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: banged up before he got drafted by Tennessee. But he's

180
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: in that range. But he's a physical specimen on the

181
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: outside and then, so Mims was the second round pick,

182
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: and now you're investing in an early second round pick

183
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: again in another receiver who you think had first round value.

184
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, Joe Douglas on his board,

185
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: Elijah Vera Tucker was a top ten player. There's they

186
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: thought there was no way in heck that Moore is

187
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: gonna be there at thirty four. Inf it would have

188
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: been interesting, guys if they didn't move up from three

189
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: to four team, if they ended up taking more. Yeah,

190
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: I think that's definitely in the cards. And that kind

191
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: of leads me to my next point. So far, the

192
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: Jets have got three picks. They don't have a third

193
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: round pick. We don't really know what's happening in the

194
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,359
Speaker 1: third round right now because we're in here recording the podcast.

195
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: But the Jets have six picks on day three. So

196
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, let's start with you, Anthony, what do you

197
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: think is next for Joe Douglas, Not necessarily in terms

198
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: of players, but maybe certain positions that you think the

199
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: Jets should hit because they need to fill some holes here. Yeah, well,

200
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, a corner I could see, you know, three

201
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: corners maybe of these of these picks, I mean why not, right, Um,

202
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: you know when you're when you're talking about what the

203
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: what they lack or what they're you know, kind of shorthanded,

204
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: and that's the position that comes to mind. And how

205
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: many corners do we go through, you know, with injuries

206
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: and just trying to find a guy or sign a guy.

207
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean it was crazy how many? How many guys?

208
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: So you you need them. If you can get some

209
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: guys that you feel like fit the system, you grab them. Now,

210
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: you know you could you could also put some picks

211
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: together and move up. But I was thinking that would

212
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: be a good idea initially, right you you kind of

213
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: get like, maybe get five core guys in the draft

214
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: early and they can be players for you. But you

215
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: also you need depth. You need bodies, right, you need

216
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: players like you need more than just five guys. You

217
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: need you do need those picks. So you know, maybe

218
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the third they think about doing something,

219
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: but I just think you sit tight and if you

220
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: need to make a little bit of a move without

221
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: totally giving away a bunch of assets, you know, you

222
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: you kind of look at that. But man, just you know,

223
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: do your homework that this is what good scouts do, right, good,

224
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: good organizations, personnel people. They got everything lined up for

225
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: the situation and scenarios so that that player is the

226
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: best possible fit in that moment. And you know, they

227
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: think that those guys, whether it's four, fifth, sixth round,

228
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: they can be contributors to the football team. And if

229
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: you're lucky and you hit a arder in those rounds,

230
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean that, man, that's jackpot right there, because you

231
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: never really assume that. You hope they developed to that

232
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: and they can be that. But man, you get a

233
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: guy and I've seen it calls. We see it every

234
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: year across the league. Somebody ends up being a star

235
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: in those late rounds. Jets gotta find a way to

236
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: find that guy. Absolutely, And you mentioned it earlier when

237
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: talking about how this this year with COVID has changed

238
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: everything with the scouting and this year more than any

239
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: other year, there's going to be a couple of players

240
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: that slipped through the cracks end up in the fifth,

241
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: sixth round. And if they Jets did their job scouting,

242
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: I think they can find a gym U cornerback position

243
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: is is obviously one that they need to help and

244
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: bolster up. Also the linebacker positions. You know, I would

245
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: like to see some more depth at the linebacker position,

246
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: but I can see the Jets going back on the

247
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball and get in some more

248
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: offensive lineman as well. So you know, the really the

249
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,599
Speaker 1: sky's the limit. You have six picks, uh, six opportunities

250
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: to make this team better. And the Jets, please believe

251
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: they're going to pick the best players that are available,

252
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: in the best ones that fit this scheme. What do

253
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: you think, e a um, I think these guys are right.

254
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna get at least one cornerback on Day three.

255
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: Remember also, you're gonna be very active in terms of

256
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: your search for the top undrafted free agents out there.

257
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: Day three is very important. In fact, I think you

258
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: sat here in this chair just a few moments ago

259
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: and talk to Joe Douglas and he said, this is

260
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: where you can make a good draft, a great draft

261
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: with those Day three fines. And think about it right

262
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: now as we sit here before ten thirty night, to

263
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: Jets have selected three players. They have six draft picks

264
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: on Day three. This is huge and Anthony's right, you

265
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: have to fill voids just in terms of depth, but

266
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: with this team since they are building, since it is

267
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: the start of something. With the new coaching staff, they're

268
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: gonna be opportunities for these guys who were taking in

269
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: a worth round to come in and make immediate contributions.

270
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: So defensively, yeah, I'm thinking corner, and I'm also thinking linebacker.

271
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: Uh down the line here. Offensive line always um, but offensively,

272
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: what stands out to me so far, and I want

273
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on, Ethan and everybody's, is the

274
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: speed is really coming to light. It's not only that

275
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: this draft is always going to be remembered for the

276
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: Jets taking Zach Wilson at number two, but you see

277
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: an element of speed here this offseason that I don't

278
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: know if this team has had in the past. I

279
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: think I think coach Salad talked about it from the

280
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: day that he was hired, right, the need for speed.

281
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: And I know I mentioned this earlier, but I think

282
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of forgotten. Den Gel Mims ran a fourth

283
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: three eight at the Combine because he hurts his hamstring

284
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: both of them, and then it never really seemed like

285
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: he ever pushed the gas as hard as he could.

286
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: So maybe with a full offseason he's able to do so.

287
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: And you adalyize more Corey Davis. I mean, I really

288
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: do think that the speed at the skill position player,

289
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: even Ty Johnson, someone who has burners, So I think

290
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: the speed is definitely increased. And you know, I want

291
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: to wrap up the podcast with a fun question. And

292
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm curious as two former players are sit across the

293
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: Ben MGM studio, let's start with them. Earlier today, there

294
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: is this phenomenon on Twitter where Zack Wilson's mother posted

295
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: on Instagram stories a number two jersey. Everyone's saying, you

296
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: love Jersey numbers. I'm big Jersey number guy. They're saying,

297
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: what is going on here? Zach Wilson wears number one

298
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: at b y U is he going for number two?

299
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: He said? He told the media he has not decided.

300
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: So Coleman, let's start with you, Zach Wilson, are you

301
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: pro number one? Are you pro changing the number the

302
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: number two or anything else? Well, and you can address

303
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: your beef right now because you have some b for

304
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: somebody in the organization. Oh man, yeah, so hit that first, right. Yeah. Well,

305
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: at first it was beef because it was like, man,

306
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, Tevin Coleman, He's gonna have the Coleman in

307
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: the last name. Um, he was with the Falcons. That

308
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: was my number, that's my name. And so I'm like, man,

309
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: he's eracing me from the books because he's probably a

310
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: better player than I was. And then he's coming to

311
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: the Jets. Now I'm excited to see him here. Anthony

312
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: kind of changed my thinking about that. Now if he

313
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: does well, I could buy his jersey. Jersey sales man ses.

314
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take all the credit for that one.

315
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: But you know, when I when I talk about Zack Wilson, listen,

316
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Where number one was?

317
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: What got you here? You're a star to where number

318
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: one in the great state of New York. It's gonna

319
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: be something. Now did that rule get Is that official?

320
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: Can that happen? Yeah? The number things? The thing is

321
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: always do that? Oh they could? You do have to

322
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: clarify this. There's somebody on the roster who does have

323
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: number one right now, Jalil Scott. Yeah, I know all

324
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: these things. I'm not worried about him out. You know,

325
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: I want to look that up. I'm gonna look that up.

326
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: I remember there was a player, established player in the

327
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: league wanted to change his number. I think was Dalvin

328
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: Cook from number thirty three to four that he used

329
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: to wear, but the league told him he was going

330
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: to have to pay the one point four million dollars

331
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: in jerseys that are out there for sale. That's what

332
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: you probably won't see a lot of veterans doing it,

333
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: but we'll probably start that. But you see, you're right,

334
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: that's the thing, because I remember there was I don't

335
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: remember who the player was. It might have been Leonard

336
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: Williams when he was here wanted to change his number

337
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: or was considering changing his number, and the equipment guy

338
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: was like, well, if you do that, you have to

339
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: buy out the rest of the jerseys that have already

340
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: been made. He said, you know what, I'm good with

341
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: ninety two, thank you very much. So. But Anthony's right

342
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 1: though the number thing has changed, so like, for example,

343
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore, who wore eight at all miss could wear

344
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: eight with the Jets, but Jack Wilson could always wear

345
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: number one. So with that being said, I'm curious your take. Yeah,

346
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, look, man, listen, like Dion Sanders said back

347
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: in the day, right, look good, play good. Like if

348
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: that's the kid wants to wear that, hummer give it

349
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: to him, Like, I mean, if that there's some mental

350
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: stuff around that thing for people. Man, trust me, I've

351
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: been around players like if anyone you was in college

352
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: or high school, like they're they're not the same dude.

353
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: So if that's gonna make him the same cat we're

354
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: seeing on tape every single you know play that we've

355
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: been running through the highlights at b y U. Let

356
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: that kid wear number one. I'm good with it. If

357
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: he wants it, give it to him. If he doesn't,

358
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't, But I want I want to interject about

359
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: the Jalil Scott thing. He was number one until he

360
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: was signed to the active roster. I needed to change

361
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: his number because the rule was not an effect until

362
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: this offseason. So he's number eighteen on the roster. On

363
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: the right now, there is no one. There is no

364
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: number one there. The first number the Jets have on

365
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: their roster is no. Umber three, and that's Chase McLoughlin,

366
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: the kicker. Okay, so again, you you're fascinated with the numbers.

367
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: What I will say, as far as Zach Wilson is concerned,

368
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: is you be you. Whatever works for Zach Wilson, You

369
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: be you. You wear a headband, bring it here, bring

370
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: it to New York. I don't need you to change

371
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: change up whatever you're doing. It worked at the college level.

372
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: You don't come here and change who you are. And

373
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: that's on a serious note too. You don't change who

374
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: you are as a player. Sure we can work to

375
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: be better versions of ourselves, but I don't need him

376
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: to come here and choose a quarterback number and not

377
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: wear a headband and change who he is. Part of

378
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: the attraction or allure of Wilson is people in that

379
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 1: locker room gravitate towards him. They love his style of play.

380
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: And listen, I want my quarterback to have a little

381
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: bit of swag, a little bit of grant. I think

382
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: number one has a little more of what you just

383
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: said the number two. But if you want to go

384
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: with number two, go ahead. Listen. I wore Bandanna, by

385
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: the way, when I was in college. I came to

386
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: the league. Well you did when you were earlier, when

387
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: you played early in the league. Yeah, they banned it,

388
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: and then he had to go to the skull cap things.

389
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: So I went skull cap after that. But you and

390
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: Vinie Testa, yeah we were, we were skull Cap guys.

391
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: But you guys comb your hair backwards before you put

392
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: the skull cap. Of course, like you know, it was

393
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: well matted down. But I was a bandana guy coming

394
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: because you could wear that in college and I was

395
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: told I couldn't wear that after a while. Bandana. Maybe

396
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: that changed me as a player. Yeah, you're hurt. That

397
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 1: was you know what I love about Wilson too, with

398
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: the headband, the bandanna, and you go back to Jim McMahon,

399
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: what was you thinking the same McMahon wearing net bandana.

400
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: Loved it, loved it. Yeah, that was before my time,

401
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: but I did like when I watched you know, when

402
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: I was watching stuff on They Bears or whatever, and

403
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: when Jim McMahon was playing, I saw the headbands. That's

404
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: pretty cool. And you know, if I do agree with

405
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: e C. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. But

406
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: if you want to change it and go for it,

407
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see what happens. Right, I will say

408
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: the one thing that Jack Wilson said on a totally

409
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: other note, and then I'm gonna wrap up, which I

410
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: thought was cool. Someone said, hey, essentially, hey, we know

411
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: you look young. How are you gonna walk into the

412
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: NFL and the bright lights of the Big Apple and

413
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: lead a locker room. He said. Listen, some of my

414
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: best friends have three kids. That's what happens at b

415
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: y U because every everyone's older. Everyone goes on missions

416
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: and comes back, so he's used to it. And that

417
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: is the way we're gonna end this episode of the

418
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: official Jets podcast, The Draft Podcast, presented by Pepsi. We're

419
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: back tomorrow with a full draft recap.
