Speaker 1: Welcome to the Official Jets Podcast Draft Countdown series presented
Speaker 1: by Verizon e A. Anthony Beck myself wrapping up our
Speaker 1: mock draft here in today's podcast, and then also Olivia
Speaker 1: land is gonna join for some closing thoughts one day
Speaker 1: before the two thousand twenty NFL Draft, and let me
Speaker 1: just recap the mock draft picks one through ten. On
Speaker 1: the prior episode, we had Joe Burrow Chase Young, Isaiah Simmons,
Speaker 1: Tristan Worth to the Giants, two to the Dolphins, Justin
Speaker 1: Herbert to the Chargers, Jerry Judy to the Panthers, jeff A.
Speaker 1: Cood to the to the Cardinals, Derek Brown of the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas to the Browns, which leaves the New York
Speaker 1: Jets with the eleventh pick with their option of McKay, Beckton,
Speaker 1: Jedrick will Seedee Lamb, the most popular names in the
Speaker 1: mock draft circuit, and then of course any other player
Speaker 1: that's still on the board and a B. Let's start
Speaker 1: with you if you're Joe Douglas, who is the newest
Speaker 1: member of the Green and Wall. Yeah, well, you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of talk, I think conversation. Now we we've
Speaker 1: talked about some really good tackles on the board and
Speaker 1: some extremely elite wide receivers that are left. There's a
Speaker 1: clear path to where this team and the success starts.
Speaker 1: And you look at the past where Joe has been
Speaker 1: uh and the teams with the Ravens Eagles, the places
Speaker 1: where they've been able to kind of grow the most
Speaker 1: has been at their offensive line position. You can never
Speaker 1: have enough of these guys. Guys. We've seen it the
Speaker 1: last couple of years, how quickly if an offensive lineman
Speaker 1: goes down, how bad it can get for your team
Speaker 1: up from We saw all kinds of varieties last year
Speaker 1: with the Jets. So, without further ado, with the eleventh
Speaker 1: pick of the two thousand twenty NFL Draft, the New
Speaker 1: York Jets select Mackay Beckton, Louisville tackle. Okay, now, I
Speaker 1: will say this, I told you many times that I
Speaker 1: was huge on Tristan Worth's I thought he's the best player.
Speaker 1: As I go back and watched more of Beckton, you know,
Speaker 1: at six ft six, six ft seven, However, they got
Speaker 1: him at three sixty pounds. This guy is unbelievable. The
Speaker 1: space he takes up, the finish and nastiness that he
Speaker 1: has the swift movement in his feet. Right, these are
Speaker 1: things in combinations that are not supposed to be true
Speaker 1: for a guy this size, for a guy this tall
Speaker 1: and this long. Uh, he's got extreme with in his reach.
Speaker 1: And he and his really best at his one on
Speaker 1: one work, whether it's past protection or rush run blocking.
Speaker 1: And I think the difference here, guys with this guy
Speaker 1: is he's so massive that he is really going to
Speaker 1: fill some space, not just at the tackle position, but
Speaker 1: sliding down. You can be a little more versatile because
Speaker 1: of his size up front, and that's to help I
Speaker 1: think big time, not only for for Bell in running
Speaker 1: the football, but you know clearly for Sam Donald getting
Speaker 1: the time that he needs. You've loaded up, you have depth,
Speaker 1: You've now been able to get a massive tackle that
Speaker 1: that can really be a guy that can play with
Speaker 1: the Jets for a decade hopefully. I have a close
Speaker 1: relationship with several coaches at Louisville. I told him, I said, look,
Speaker 1: I need an honest assessment about Beckton. I don't want
Speaker 1: the popular kind of you know summary that you've been reading.
Speaker 1: I want to know about this kid. Is he a
Speaker 1: good kid? Is he hang around bad people? Does he
Speaker 1: not work hard? Is he as he suck in the
Speaker 1: weight room? That's exactly what I didn't hear about this
Speaker 1: guy from from people that I trust. Uh. They said, listen, man,
Speaker 1: he's a difference maker, and I believe him. It shows
Speaker 1: up on film, and it shows up a lot, and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good stuff on him. I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fun pick if and when the
Speaker 1: Jets come into that spot and they get a position
Speaker 1: to pick the tackle, I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: spot to go. I think you're going backflips if this
Speaker 1: is a scenario for the Jets. Bottom line, nobody's gonna
Speaker 1: be at one Jets Drive, but virtually everybody will be
Speaker 1: doing backflips because I don't think you could go wrong
Speaker 1: with either Affected or Wills. And I know if Becton
Speaker 1: was your pick, Anthony, I think Wills is going to
Speaker 1: be a stud probably right tackle, because that's what he's been,
Speaker 1: uh since high school. I say, why messed with that?
Speaker 1: Why even flip him to the left side. I think
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a stud player for potentially ten years.
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb is appealing, no doubt about that, especially what
Speaker 1: he can do after the catch. He doesn't have the
Speaker 1: raw speed of a Rugs, and he's not the route
Speaker 1: runner that Judy is, but man, he is dynamic and
Speaker 1: it's so enticing to think of parents ceedee lamb with
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. Um. So that's where my mind is right now.
Speaker 1: I've narrowed it down to three guys, and I'm trying
Speaker 1: to talk my way through it. With that eleventh selection.
Speaker 1: In the two thousand twenty NFL Draft, the New York
Speaker 1: Jets select McKay Beckton, tackle out of Louisville Nice listen
Speaker 1: fellas three hundred pounds. And I know you're not supposed
Speaker 1: to fall in love with guys just because of the
Speaker 1: way they talked to the media, But when he was
Speaker 1: in Indnnapolis, Beckton he's got a nasty edge, and he
Speaker 1: talked about New York and the grimy nous of New York,
Speaker 1: and I just think he'd be a perfect fit here.
Speaker 1: Just go and punch up YouTube and look at some
Speaker 1: of his dunkey videos over the years. He's got great feet.
Speaker 1: I think he's got the highest ceiling of any offensive
Speaker 1: lignement in this draft. I have a twenty two year
Speaker 1: old quarterback here in Sam Donald, I said I'm gonna
Speaker 1: protect him. This guy has unlimited potential. I love it.
Speaker 1: I think he's just coming into his own. With that
Speaker 1: being said, I don't think he could go wrong with
Speaker 1: Wills or Lamb. But to pick here, respected, given the
Speaker 1: landscape of our mock draft, I think to all of
Speaker 1: our points, very very happy if you're a Jets fan.
Speaker 1: But let me ask you this, how realistic do you
Speaker 1: think that this has come April probably about nine pm
Speaker 1: when the Jets are on the clock or whatever time
Speaker 1: it is, that both McKay Beckton and Jeddrick Wills are
Speaker 1: on the board. You know, we we talked about it.
Speaker 1: Um you know, Carolina could go offensive tackle, which we
Speaker 1: did not say that they would do Jacksonville Jacksonville as well.
Speaker 1: So that's where it gets tricky. Okay, imagine if those
Speaker 1: four guys okay are are gone now what they'll have
Speaker 1: that ready. They'll have that plan for my pick. I
Speaker 1: can tell you right now that Ceedee Lamb is not
Speaker 1: an option for me given the two tackles on the
Speaker 1: board and becked in Jeddrick Wills. And then you can
Speaker 1: get a good receiver at forty eight that could be
Speaker 1: a Day one guy and you think about the recent
Speaker 1: success of round two guys, even just last year with
Speaker 1: the Old Miss Cats and DK Metcalf and A. J.
Speaker 1: Brown and Michael Thomas was the second round pick for
Speaker 1: the Saints. So I'm between McKay Beckton and Jeddrick Wills,
Speaker 1: and honestly, I'm I'm pretty torn for a number of
Speaker 1: different reasons. But without further ado, with the eleventh pick
Speaker 1: in the two thousand twenty NFL Draft, the New York
Speaker 1: Jets select McKay Beckton, tackle Louisville, and I think it
Speaker 1: comes down to this for me, and I didn't want
Speaker 1: to be that guy to make it that we're all
Speaker 1: uniform here. So I'm gonna make a case for Wheels
Speaker 1: right after I say this, But I think what both
Speaker 1: of you said, a guy of that size should not
Speaker 1: be able to move the way that he moves, and
Speaker 1: what he said he has, it seems like he unlimited potential.
Speaker 1: And when you think about Joe Douglass past not only
Speaker 1: being in alignment but where he grew up per se
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you think about a guy like Jonathan
Speaker 1: Ogden for the Baltimore Ravens, and I think maybe McKay
Speaker 1: Beckton could be that guy for the New York Jets,
Speaker 1: or at least envisioned him to become that guy. But
Speaker 1: really quickly about Jedrick Wills. For him to dominate in
Speaker 1: the SEC and debatedly the best conference in in college football,
Speaker 1: and do it for so law. I mean thirty nine games,
Speaker 1: one sack, very good in the run and protecting to
Speaker 1: his blindside. He would be a surefire guy. And I
Speaker 1: know that a lot of people will say, well, right tackle,
Speaker 1: little leven maybe too rich. Well, how about the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles in two thousand thirteen when they selected Lane Johnson
Speaker 1: with the fourth overall pick. Or you think about Jack
Speaker 1: Conklin and free agency number eight overall pick right tackle
Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans, probably playing right tackle for the Browns.
Speaker 1: And then you think about a guy in two thousand
Speaker 1: eighteen Mike McGlinchey started right tackle for the fort and
Speaker 1: the forty Niners obviously represented the NFC and the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: So if the Jets do, in fact, in this situation,
Speaker 1: go with Jeddrick Wills. I don't think that that's a
Speaker 1: bad pick at all. I think it actually it's a
Speaker 1: very good pick. Anthony just had one final question here,
Speaker 1: how important our days two and three for Joe Douglas.
Speaker 1: Give me a great couple of positions where he's really
Speaker 1: got to solidify that group for the Jets here in
Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty and this weekend, no doubt. So
Speaker 1: you're right, d m s will clearly be known for
Speaker 1: the top guy they take. But if you can get
Speaker 1: multiple guys on your draft board to come in not
Speaker 1: only be contributors, but be starters and be long term players,
Speaker 1: that's where you make your money because you can't just
Speaker 1: lean on your first round picks every year and then
Speaker 1: that's it. Receiver is going to be the area, okay,
Speaker 1: where the second round pick of the Jets look and
Speaker 1: you know who could be in those those guys who
Speaker 1: who could fall in that where he can come in
Speaker 1: be a top tier receiver, still bring you what you
Speaker 1: want at that first round level and make big plays.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give you two names. Lavisca Chenault. Okay,
Speaker 1: this guy last year was banged up, but he played
Speaker 1: through a lot of injuries. He's tough as nails. Everybody
Speaker 1: was talking about this guy two thousand and eight teen
Speaker 1: when he jumped on the map. Another guy's Denzel Mims
Speaker 1: out of Baylor, long, big, strong, physical, extreme speed, and
Speaker 1: can win in the tight red zone ten fifteen yards
Speaker 1: uncoverable slants fates. He did it better than anybody in
Speaker 1: college football, and he was usual at utilized that way.
Speaker 1: And he can catch a slam at the twenty and
Speaker 1: take it eighty yards. As I look into the third round,
Speaker 1: you get those two picks. Third round is it's kind
Speaker 1: of a spot you look at cornerback. Two guys to
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. Bryce Hall from Virginia. Really loved
Speaker 1: this guy. Okay, he was an All American last year.
Speaker 1: Got nicked up a little bit. Okay, and again you
Speaker 1: don't want to take up injured players, but again you
Speaker 1: do your homework, you find out what it was. If
Speaker 1: they're healed, they're good. This guy was you know, lad
Speaker 1: the nation and pass breakups in two thousand eighteen. Very intelligent,
Speaker 1: very smart, and can play variety of ways at the
Speaker 1: cornerback position. Another guy's a J. Green out of Oklahoma State.
Speaker 1: He's another guy a lock up corner, can get in
Speaker 1: your face. Uh, can can play the multiple types of
Speaker 1: looks that you want to have on defense at the
Speaker 1: cornerback position. But he's able to kind of lock you
Speaker 1: up one on one, which is going to be key. Obviously. Guys,
Speaker 1: when we're talking about these positions, as you get later
Speaker 1: in the draft, as I categorize positions, that fourth round
Speaker 1: pick can become important. And what exactly do you want
Speaker 1: in that pick? And let's just say hypothetically, you get
Speaker 1: the tackle, you get a receiver. I think you have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get a special player. What is a
Speaker 1: special player? A slash kind of guy, right, A guy
Speaker 1: that can play receiver, running back, do multiple things on
Speaker 1: your offense. You know, give your UH coordinator in this
Speaker 1: case coach Gaze an opportunity to be flexible with multiple
Speaker 1: players that can also fill in in times of need. Uh.
Speaker 1: Two guys that that come to mind in this area
Speaker 1: of fourth round UH Antonio Gibson, who was labeled as
Speaker 1: a running back out of Memphis. He's a receiver running
Speaker 1: back guy, just really tough, strong, good speed, made a
Speaker 1: lot of breakout plays, huge jack after the catch. Another
Speaker 1: kind of wild card player. Limb Bowden out of Kentucky.
Speaker 1: I mean he's just a very versattle player. Man. He's
Speaker 1: a little rough around the edges. Okay, he's got to
Speaker 1: get a little more mature. But when you talk about
Speaker 1: skill level, think about like a Percy Harvin kind of guy.
Speaker 1: Just multiple. He's a thousand yard receiver two years ago.
Speaker 1: They forced him to play quarterback this year in Kentucky
Speaker 1: and he was, you know, the leading rusher in the
Speaker 1: in the conference with the team that they knew he
Speaker 1: was going to do something with the football every single time,
Speaker 1: and they still couldn't stop him in the sec of course,
Speaker 1: going late, you want to enhance running back a J. Dillon,
Speaker 1: a pounder from BC maybe in the fifth round, a
Speaker 1: guy that you know you can give the ball to
Speaker 1: get those tough yardages. It will be very interesting to
Speaker 1: see how the virtual draft, obviously not only unfull old
Speaker 1: with the players selections, but how it looks of course,
Speaker 1: with Roger Goodell announcing the picks from his basement and Anthony,
Speaker 1: we can't thank you enough for going through our mock
Speaker 1: drafts and honestly crossing my fingers at our mock draft
Speaker 1: comes to fruition here because I think Jets fan would
Speaker 1: be pretty happy. I think the one thing we've learned
Speaker 1: over the years, guys, no matter how many mock drafts
Speaker 1: we've seen in players that people think they're gonna pick it.
Speaker 1: Never ever falls out that way and and there are
Speaker 1: some crazy picks sometimes and you never know who's gonna
Speaker 1: fall in your lap. So I think, you know, being
Speaker 1: at eleven, it's a good spot for the Jets. They're
Speaker 1: gonna have a variety of options, and I think a
Speaker 1: fans are gonna be pretty pleased with that selection. Now
Speaker 1: joined by Olivia land Is, who's back in her home
Speaker 1: state of Colorado, and you know, the draft really right
Speaker 1: around the corner, and really really right around the corner,
Speaker 1: meaning tomorrow, and I just kind of wanted to take
Speaker 1: the time to take a second and reflect on how
Speaker 1: the three of us have been covering the draft. Obviously
Speaker 1: it's been a weird pre draft process us, but also
Speaker 1: we were time to cover the NFL. So to both
Speaker 1: of you, what have you kind of taken away from
Speaker 1: this whole entire experience of remote life. Well, for me personally,
Speaker 1: it's been very, very different, to say the least, because
Speaker 1: I started out in my apartment in Jersey, which is
Speaker 1: a one bedroom apartment that I share with my Great
Speaker 1: Dane dog. So um kind of lonely honestly at first,
Speaker 1: just because we spent four weeks pretty much in quarantine
Speaker 1: out here in Colorado. It's been a little bit better.
Speaker 1: I've been around family, but it's definitely there have been
Speaker 1: challenges for sure to covering this remotely, just because you know,
Speaker 1: everybody has to figure out certain technology that works. But
Speaker 1: you know, for the most part, I feel like on
Speaker 1: my end, we're doing pretty good. Yeah, what Aqueal the sentiments.
Speaker 1: I can't believe everything that lives has been through. She
Speaker 1: traveled back to her native Colorado twenty six hours without
Speaker 1: stopping because folks, and rightfully so, they're trying to take
Speaker 1: care of people on the front lines. And one of
Speaker 1: the hotels, I believe the backstory there was that the
Speaker 1: hotel that you would actually made a reservation at um
Speaker 1: said hey, listen, I'm sorry, but we have to we
Speaker 1: have to use these rooms for medical personnel. Right, So
Speaker 1: you actually not only did you go home to Colorado.
Speaker 1: It's not like you got in a plane and was
Speaker 1: it was there in a couple of hours or even
Speaker 1: took your time getting across the country. You did it
Speaker 1: one day plus two hours. Yeah, it was probably I've
Speaker 1: never done that before. It's one of the craziest things
Speaker 1: I've ever done. Honestly, I probably will not do it again.
Speaker 1: But yeah, like you said, my mother and I started
Speaker 1: driving from Jersey. We drove seventeen hours and one day,
Speaker 1: and then had reserved a hotel in Missouri because it's halfway.
Speaker 1: And when we got there they were like, yeah, actually
Speaker 1: were which you know under I understand now, but they're like,
Speaker 1: we're only accepting medical personnel, essential staff. So I just
Speaker 1: looked at my mom. I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's just go. Let's just drive all the way through.
Speaker 1: We have eleven hours left, We've already done seventeen. Like,
Speaker 1: let's create the music unbelievable and listen. I think when
Speaker 1: we started this six seven weeks ago, we just wanted
Speaker 1: to provide content for everybody out there in Jets Nation
Speaker 1: and also NFL fans who are looking for a diversion
Speaker 1: or an outlet, because the passion is still there for football.
Speaker 1: But for me, early on, it was difficult to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, because I didn't know how to come
Speaker 1: across with enthusiasm, with passion or more of a somber
Speaker 1: tone because what was happening not only throughout the nation
Speaker 1: but throughout the world for me and for both of you,
Speaker 1: and it's been hey, how can we provide content for
Speaker 1: people that they want to see? And here when we
Speaker 1: first got home, was like, how can we provide content now?
Speaker 1: And the first thing we thought of was let's get
Speaker 1: on the horn. Let's start doing podcasts, Jets related podcasts.
Speaker 1: But also looking forward to the draft as well, I
Speaker 1: think are fans and I think NFL fans very receptive
Speaker 1: as far as the content has been concerned. Now, we
Speaker 1: had the draft tomorrow night, and I think the weekend
Speaker 1: it's going to be exciting and on precedent, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that actually, given the odd times, to say the least,
Speaker 1: I think at least in my time here, we've probably
Speaker 1: covered the draft better than any prior year, which is
Speaker 1: kind of ironic because we've all been at home and
Speaker 1: you would think that in the office you'd have more resources. Well,
Speaker 1: the interviews that Live has done, the interviews that E
Speaker 1: and I have done together and separate, it just feels
Speaker 1: like we've really covered this draft up to bottom. We've
Speaker 1: left no stone on turn and I'm really excited for
Speaker 1: the draft, and I think given the lack of sports
Speaker 1: out there right now, everybody seems a little more so
Speaker 1: in tune with the draft and every year if you're
Speaker 1: a Jets fan, if you're a football fan, this is
Speaker 1: a time of year that inject some life into your team. Frankly,
Speaker 1: I'm ready to get this show roll, and feels like
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this for a while now, so
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to see what actually happens tomorrow night
Speaker 1: and throughout the weekend live you can tell the folks
Speaker 1: about this. We were all set to send you to
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Yeah, I think I'm I'm honestly still just
Speaker 1: trying to absorb the fact that everybody is going to
Speaker 1: be covering the draft from home. Like Ethan said, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing how this unfolds. But it's
Speaker 1: definitely going to be different for me this year, like
Speaker 1: you said, because the past two years, I've physically been
Speaker 1: at the locations of the draft, which was Dallas two
Speaker 1: years ago and then Nashville last year. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is going to look like.
Speaker 1: I mean, we have we have our plan, you know,
Speaker 1: we have our plan on how we're going to execute it,
Speaker 1: but nobody's ever done this before. The league hasn't, nobody, players,
Speaker 1: nobody so I'm super eager to see how this turns out.
Speaker 1: But it's definitely gonna be different doing it from my
Speaker 1: mother's home in Colorado as opposed to being on site.
Speaker 1: As we close out the official Jets Podcast Draft Countdown
Speaker 1: series presented by Verizon here the day before the draft,
Speaker 1: I just want to know who do you guys think
Speaker 1: the Pigs are gonna be at eleven? That's all I
Speaker 1: want to know, Or you can alter and say what
Speaker 1: you think a successful draft would be. Overall a draft weekend,
Speaker 1: I feel like we've heard so much from the external guys.
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, I just kind of want to
Speaker 1: give our predictions here, not that they mean anything, because
Speaker 1: they really don't. I would say, if I were to
Speaker 1: give my personal opinion on which direction they may go
Speaker 1: in the first round, you know, in my in my eyes,
Speaker 1: I feel like it would have to be either a
Speaker 1: tackle or a receiver. But to answer the other part
Speaker 1: of that question where he said, how will this just
Speaker 1: be an overall successful draft for Joe Douglas, I think
Speaker 1: he just needs to stick to his plan. He's been
Speaker 1: talking about his plan of bringing in offensive lineman and
Speaker 1: building and protecting. Sam Donald even said that when he
Speaker 1: spoke to the media a few a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago when he said, I told Sam Donald's parents that
Speaker 1: I was going to get him the protection that he needed.
Speaker 1: Talking to so many of these NFL analysts around the league,
Speaker 1: a lot of analysts have full one confidence in Joe
Speaker 1: Douglas and his plan and what he's going to execute
Speaker 1: for this team and the holes he's going to fill.
Speaker 1: Everyone's going to have different views on how he should
Speaker 1: approach it, but I think he is going to make
Speaker 1: it a success by just sticking to the plan he's
Speaker 1: had all along. She's right. Every external analysts you talked to,
Speaker 1: nobody on the air or a lot off there, and
Speaker 1: I will say this has once questioned, Wow, I don't
Speaker 1: know if you had the right guy here. He is
Speaker 1: universally respected in the NFL. That does not mean, oh,
Speaker 1: he's definitely going to win a championship within two years
Speaker 1: and the Jets are going to the playoffs next year.
Speaker 1: But as what we saw in free agency was to
Speaker 1: lives point is that he has a plan, he's going
Speaker 1: to stick to the plan. He is not going to
Speaker 1: be forced into a move because the Jets have a
Speaker 1: potential need here or they have to fill this or wow,
Speaker 1: if you don't take this guy. This is the reaction
Speaker 1: on the outside. Joe does not play that. That is
Speaker 1: not part of his game. He is three championships, He's
Speaker 1: trust his people around him, He's got an all star staff.
Speaker 1: So I just think this weekend you're a Jets fan,
Speaker 1: buckle up. You know he's got eight picks right now.
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised that their moves because listen, when you
Speaker 1: were talking about a seven round draft, typically you're gonna
Speaker 1: see some traits. Okay, that doesn't mean there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a trade in the first round. I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1: Watch him maneuver and navigate. Also, don't get caught up
Speaker 1: in that initial grade following the draft, because you have
Speaker 1: to give drafts two to three years down the line
Speaker 1: to really understand what you got out of him. With
Speaker 1: that being said, Green's you're gonna have the last words here.
Speaker 1: You do have to get where the Jets are at.
Speaker 1: After he addressed depth and need and free agency, you
Speaker 1: gotta get let's say, on on the safe side, probably
Speaker 1: about three starters guys are gonna line up in and
Speaker 1: they're gonna be valuable contributors for you. Then down the line,
Speaker 1: you're gonna try to find guys whore gonna help you
Speaker 1: special teams, reserve roles, and ultimately hopefully they can develop
Speaker 1: into starters. And then you take your flyers late and
Speaker 1: hopefully you get some undrafted free agents in here one
Speaker 1: or two make your team and things like that. In
Speaker 1: terms of what makes a successful draft for the Jets,
Speaker 1: I think we'll find out three or four years down
Speaker 1: the road. But in terms of grading stuff like in
Speaker 1: the immediate I think to what we all have been
Speaker 1: saying it, you know, you go to need, you go
Speaker 1: to best player available, and you you find the proper
Speaker 1: balance and you add to your team and two lives point.
Speaker 1: I think it's been popular since the end of the
Speaker 1: regular season, and I think for a good reason. I
Speaker 1: think tackle receiver, and I think it'll be interesting to
Speaker 1: see who's on the board at each position at eleven,
Speaker 1: especially when you factor in the depth of this wide
Speaker 1: receiver class and rounds two through four. And I think
Speaker 1: this is really where you start to see Joe doug
Speaker 1: is create the roster to where he wants it to be,
Speaker 1: and he's starting to create that best culture in sports
Speaker 1: and the roster that he wants to have, and I
Speaker 1: think that to your point, a sit back, let's see
Speaker 1: what happens when Joe Douglas goes to work. April twenty three,
Speaker 1: Thursday night, eight pm, the Virtual Draft begins, hopefully the
Speaker 1: one and only virtual draft. I've loved these Draft Countdown
Speaker 1: podcast series presented by Verizon all throughout leading up to
Speaker 1: the draft, and I'm excited to continue on afterwards because
Speaker 1: out tomorrow night to Greens and Live. Just want to
Speaker 1: give a little promotion here about the virtual Draft party
Speaker 1: for Jets fans. Make sure you take a look at that.
Speaker 1: April Thursday night, Tomorrow night, eight pm, the Virtual Draft commences.
Speaker 1: Find out who Joe Douglas and the Jets will add
Speaker 1: to this roster moving forward. And that was the final
Speaker 1: pre draft edition of the Draft Countdown series presented by Verizon.
