Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Official Jets Podcast powered
Speaker 1: by Amazon Web Services. E a Ethan Greenberg here on
Speaker 1: the pod. On today's episode, we're talking draft. We're talking
Speaker 1: potential trade up options, potential trade back options, and sandwich
Speaker 1: between those two. Olivia Land is caught up with NFL
Speaker 1: Network Steve White so e A. First of all, it's
Speaker 1: a beautiful day today here on April Fool's Day, Wednesday,
Speaker 1: the first of April. Greenings, I pumped. Listen. Anytime the
Speaker 1: weather is like this, we get an opportunity to get outside,
Speaker 1: get some solitary exercise, no doubt about that. I don't
Speaker 1: even like to call it social distancing anymore. It's physical distancing.
Speaker 1: Make sure you're able to get outside. Smile somebody, um again.
Speaker 1: I'm so part to be able to talk out of
Speaker 1: foul football. We're winding down free agency, I would say, Greens,
Speaker 1: and you know we've by gearing up the podcast towards
Speaker 1: the draft. We have some exciting analysts coming on in
Speaker 1: the weeks ahead. Uh. You know, it's a good day, man.
Speaker 1: The great thing about the draft staying put April is
Speaker 1: that it gives us something to look forward to, given
Speaker 1: that there really are no sports going around. It was
Speaker 1: just announced that Wimbledon is now canceled. But without further ado,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the draft. The Jets hold the eleventh
Speaker 1: pick in the first round, the eleventh pick overall, and
Speaker 1: in every mock draft or most mock drafts, they don't
Speaker 1: project trade and we're not going to project what the
Speaker 1: Jets will do, but we're gonna talk about a couple
Speaker 1: of hypothetical situations on where it could make sense for
Speaker 1: the Jets to move up. And let's start in the
Speaker 1: first round. And I know that most pundon's think that
Speaker 1: the Jets are probably taking a receiver or an offensive tackle.
Speaker 1: And in terms of the tackles, the Jets might not
Speaker 1: have their selection and that they want at eleven if
Speaker 1: they ship back and let the draft come to them,
Speaker 1: So they might have to turn a little aggressive and
Speaker 1: leap frog a couple of teams to get one of
Speaker 1: these guys. The A yeah, and I'm I'm sure that
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas, Rex Hogan, Phil sav and Chad Alexander and company. Listen,
Speaker 1: they're setting their board and they're not going to reach.
Speaker 1: You cannot reach at any point in the draft. The
Speaker 1: tie goes to position and need no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: And when we look at the Jets, Greens will continue
Speaker 1: to say it is four needs stick out at you
Speaker 1: right now. Offensively you mentioned wide receiver and tackle, of course,
Speaker 1: and then defensively, cornerback and edge will continue to be
Speaker 1: an emphasis. I don't think that's going to change. I
Speaker 1: like the Jets position at number eleven, but if you
Speaker 1: love a guy, Greens, then you go up and get him.
Speaker 1: I would imagine it's probably unlikely. I think it's more
Speaker 1: likely as we sit here today that the Jets stay
Speaker 1: there or possibly even moved back. But in the scenario
Speaker 1: as we talk about it at the start of the show,
Speaker 1: is could they move up? Yeah, I think that if
Speaker 1: they do decide to move up, and obviously this is
Speaker 1: just hypothetical, the teams that you're looking to leap frog
Speaker 1: probably include the Arizona Cardinals at eight. Most likely include
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns at ten. If you're trying to peg
Speaker 1: which teams are selecting offensive linemen, and I know a
Speaker 1: couple of months ago, Dane Brugler of the Athletic had
Speaker 1: a mock draft trade where the Jets actually went up
Speaker 1: from eleven to seven with the Carolina Panthers leap frogging
Speaker 1: then both the Cleveland Browns at ten and the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals at eight. But I wonder what your thoughts are
Speaker 1: on it. I know that I don't remember the exact
Speaker 1: compensation in this hypothetical, but I know for a fact
Speaker 1: that it was at least one of the third round picks,
Speaker 1: whether that was the Giants original pick that's now the
Speaker 1: Jets because of the Leonard william trades at sixty eight,
Speaker 1: which is the third pick in that round, or their
Speaker 1: own pick at pick seventy nine. But what do you
Speaker 1: think about going up from eleven to seven as far
Speaker 1: as compensation? And I'm not sure, like I think it
Speaker 1: would cost you at least the three it's gonna cost
Speaker 1: you more than that, frankly. But we should keep in
Speaker 1: mind here at Green's, the Jets have the four picks
Speaker 1: in the top seventy nine, and you just told me
Speaker 1: before we started taping, and those act the exact numbers
Speaker 1: are eleven seventy nine, yet two in the third round.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of looking at teams you mentioned Carolina and
Speaker 1: the Dane Brewler example very interesting because that's a team
Speaker 1: that's starting their program right. They have a new coach Um.
Speaker 1: They parted ways with Cam Newton in the off season,
Speaker 1: broad in former Jet Robby Anderson, who played under Rule
Speaker 1: at Temple. But that team is kind of in a
Speaker 1: trade transition period. So would they want to stockpile Arizona?
Speaker 1: They landed the big time receiver, maybe arguably the top
Speaker 1: receiver in the National Football League already in DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 1: Do they want to add another tackle the next even
Speaker 1: though they did that as well in the spring. And
Speaker 1: that's sitting right in front of the Jets. Two intriguing
Speaker 1: teams are Jacksonville and Cleveland because Jacksonville, much like Carolina.
Speaker 1: I know it's not the first year of that program
Speaker 1: per se, but they've done a lot of house cleaning
Speaker 1: their greens and stockpiling picks, and the trade might be
Speaker 1: on the way for Jonnick and got Way. And then
Speaker 1: you have Cleveland sitting there at ten. I'm almost assured
Speaker 1: right now as we sit here yet Cleveland is going
Speaker 1: to take a tackle. Cleveland will take a tackle, whether
Speaker 1: whether they're picking a ten or they moved up. I
Speaker 1: think the most interesting thing about the Cleveland Browns in
Speaker 1: terms of a tackle is they signed Jack Conklin, who
Speaker 1: was the right tackle for the Titans. He played left
Speaker 1: tackle in college. So I wonder, like, does that limit
Speaker 1: who the Browns are gonna take, Like do you think
Speaker 1: that they would take a peer left tackle or somebody
Speaker 1: that at least has experience on the left side, like
Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas and McKay Beckton, Whereas somebody like Jeddrick Wills,
Speaker 1: who's ranked by a lot of people as the drafts
Speaker 1: top tackle, maybe he's not as high on their board
Speaker 1: because they don't they don't know if if they wanna
Speaker 1: make him make that transition to the left side. Like
Speaker 1: I think that's a fascinating debate. But the one thing
Speaker 1: that I think that's going overshadowed here when you look
Speaker 1: at the Jets, they do have ammunition with four picks
Speaker 1: in the top seventy nine, But to me, where does
Speaker 1: that come into play? And might not necessarily be the
Speaker 1: first round? And this is Chad Reuter of NFL dot
Speaker 1: Com talked about this. He actually pegged the Jets as
Speaker 1: a potential trade target to go back into the first
Speaker 1: round at pick number thirty one with the nine is
Speaker 1: because the Niners don't have a second round pick, or
Speaker 1: I think it was a second through fourth round pick,
Speaker 1: they don't. They need some capital there, and the Jets
Speaker 1: definitely have the capital to jump up. I think that's
Speaker 1: a fascinating idea that we haven't talked about. Well, of
Speaker 1: course not because everybody, as you know so well brings
Speaker 1: speaks in terms of the draft as it basically ends
Speaker 1: after the first round, while there's seven rounds, and then
Speaker 1: you have your priority undrafted free agents that you get
Speaker 1: on the horn with and hope to bring in a
Speaker 1: few and hidden John's per se and maybe guys there's
Speaker 1: a lot of good players in the National Football League
Speaker 1: who did not get drafted. But yeah, that's what I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about. I'm glad you brought up that example because
Speaker 1: I don't think, okay, necessarily that's the most likely scenario
Speaker 1: is going up from eleven. It's actually later on in
Speaker 1: the draft. Is it pacage in one of those threes
Speaker 1: or two of those threes to do something down the line,
Speaker 1: maybe getting back up into the first round, which uh
Speaker 1: your example noted Jed Rude from NFL dot Com, or
Speaker 1: or doing some work there in the second round. Because
Speaker 1: this draft has a lot of depth at certain positions
Speaker 1: that extends well beyond that first round. So when we
Speaker 1: think about trade up, I know people automatically go, oh,
Speaker 1: eleven up. I don't think necessarily we should just think
Speaker 1: that way we gotta expand our horizons. Is that where
Speaker 1: you could potentially see the Jets moving up our roums
Speaker 1: two and three and even on that third day four.
Speaker 1: So it's even this is kind of like a guessing
Speaker 1: game because Joe Douglas is it's his first year as
Speaker 1: general manager, so we don't know his tendencies. But everybody
Speaker 1: that we've spoken to from the time Joe was hired
Speaker 1: to president, which includes stop at the Senior Bowl and
Speaker 1: the Ambine and other ten pole events, everyone says, well,
Speaker 1: look at his past stops, particularly Ozzy knew some more
Speaker 1: so than Howie Roseman in Philadelphia. But just looking at
Speaker 1: those two guys in terms of trading back into the
Speaker 1: first round and trading up to get the guy you want, well,
Speaker 1: how about this the Ravens Ozzy Knewsome's last draft talked
Speaker 1: about going out with a bang. He traded back into
Speaker 1: the first round to select the m v P of
Speaker 1: last season in Lamar Jackson, and then Howie Roseman. When
Speaker 1: the Eagles selected Dallas Goddard in the second round. They
Speaker 1: leap frog to d Alice Cowboys. The Eagles wanted Andre
Speaker 1: Dillard last season. I believe they leap frog the Houston Texans.
Speaker 1: So you're not necessarily looking at top of the line,
Speaker 1: top of the draft trades. But to what we're talking about,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't shock me if Joe Douglas and the staff says,
Speaker 1: you know what, we really want that guy and he's available,
Speaker 1: let's say late second round to package one of the
Speaker 1: those third round picks to get that guy, that would
Speaker 1: not surprise me. Into your point, I think that could
Speaker 1: be more likely than and trading up from eleven, but
Speaker 1: we shall see. And on the other side, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about potential trade back options because it seems like
Speaker 1: that might be more likely for the jet But without
Speaker 1: further ado, here's Olivia Landis and Steve White. Obviously, with
Speaker 1: the coronavirus pandemic going around, this has had a lot
Speaker 1: of effects on not only football but sports in general.
Speaker 1: But when we look at the NFL specifically, with free
Speaker 1: agency already underway and the NFL Draft coming up soon,
Speaker 1: what kind of effects or lasting effects do you think
Speaker 1: this will have on the league? In regards to free
Speaker 1: agency and the draft. Yeah, this is this is gonna
Speaker 1: have you know, several different impacts. First off, as horrible
Speaker 1: as it may sound, the NFL is catching a break.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, major League Baseball was supposed to start
Speaker 1: the NBA and NHL where mid season. The NFL is
Speaker 1: kind of on its normal calendar, so games and things
Speaker 1: like that are not being impacted. But like you said,
Speaker 1: free agency and the draft, the biggest impact will be
Speaker 1: on the medical issues for these draft picks and for
Speaker 1: some of these free agents. And let's use Cam Newton
Speaker 1: as an example. I mean, this is one of the
Speaker 1: best players in the NFL. He is a man without
Speaker 1: a team right now, in part because teams they can't
Speaker 1: get their own doctors in to look at him for
Speaker 1: that foot surgery and the shoulder surgery. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: putting out videos, he's doing what he can. I'm sure
Speaker 1: he's providing a lot of medical reports to teams. But
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see how this slow played.
Speaker 1: Same for the draft. I don't think it would affect
Speaker 1: someone like to a Tongue Viola's draft status. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a top five pick regardless because the
Speaker 1: teams that may draft him have a bridge quarterback that
Speaker 1: could play a season if need be, like Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: in Miami or Tyrod Taylor with the Chargers. But for
Speaker 1: some late round guys or mid round guys, the fact
Speaker 1: that they can't get these medicals, a fact that teams
Speaker 1: can't get their hands on these guys or do medical rechecks,
Speaker 1: that's going to cause a problem. And and the biggest
Speaker 1: thing with this we've heard for years, um the teams
Speaker 1: with the most experienced and the deepest scouting departments always
Speaker 1: do well. That's gonna be hugely important because now teams
Speaker 1: can't bring in guys for interviews. They are going on
Speaker 1: their in person scouting when they view these guys and
Speaker 1: practices and games in the fall, and film and then
Speaker 1: some of these video interviews like you and I are
Speaker 1: doing now. So it's it's gonna be a lot tougher
Speaker 1: to evaluate players because they can't look at them. I
Speaker 1: can't get the medicals. There's gonna be some misses, but
Speaker 1: there's always gonna be some surprise hits. Well, you mentioned
Speaker 1: the NFL draft. I want to dive a little bit
Speaker 1: deeper into that. I know how you said the medical
Speaker 1: part is going to play a big role in free agency.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the draft with some of
Speaker 1: these players, is it also safe to say that free
Speaker 1: agency and how that affects those players because that can
Speaker 1: then maybe cause an effect in the draft for teams. Well,
Speaker 1: that's in any year. Like we saw right now, how
Speaker 1: the Bengals, the Chargers, and the Dolphins didn't go out
Speaker 1: and sign a free agent quarterback, even though the Chargers
Speaker 1: made a run at Tom Brady, So that tips to
Speaker 1: hand that that's likely the position they're gonna draft early. Okay, so,
Speaker 1: but but this isn't any given year. Some teams fill
Speaker 1: the voids like the like the Colts. Instead of them
Speaker 1: drafting a quarterback at thirteen or trading up for it,
Speaker 1: they traded for defensive tackle the Forrest Buckner and signed
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. So those are two positions in the first
Speaker 1: round where they don't have a first round pick, But
Speaker 1: those are two positions that they're probably not going to
Speaker 1: address in the early part of the draft because they
Speaker 1: dealt with those in free agency. So that's a lot
Speaker 1: of the domino with this. Then we see a team
Speaker 1: like the Patriots drafting twenty three overall, they lose Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: They've made some subtle moves and you know, they signing
Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback. They've got yards stood him there. But
Speaker 1: there's still gonna be a position to draft a quarterback
Speaker 1: or to trade for one, let's say, for Derek Carr.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. I'm throwing out there hypothetically,
Speaker 1: but but that's just the dominoes that are that are
Speaker 1: still in play, because we're gonna see some trades on
Speaker 1: Draft Day because some of these teams, like the Dolphins
Speaker 1: and Rators have got plenty of draft equity to move
Speaker 1: up and down. The forty nine is the same, um,
Speaker 1: but that part of it's not going to be greatly
Speaker 1: impacted by what's going on right now. I want to
Speaker 1: dive a little bit more specifically into what you do, Steve.
Speaker 1: You're all over the NFL, You've been covering it for
Speaker 1: many years now. How has this impacted the way you've
Speaker 1: been able to cover all of these teams and what's
Speaker 1: been going on? Well? Big time. Um. You know, look, normally,
Speaker 1: you know, based in Los Angeles, but at this moment,
Speaker 1: I would be in Florida at the NFL's owners meetings.
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're discussing a lot of things right now,
Speaker 1: like adding an extra playoff game, expanding the Rooney rule,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of you know, how they're going to
Speaker 1: deal with are the season right now? Um, but we're home, Okay.
Speaker 1: Everything is teleconference. These owners are doing this video conferencing,
Speaker 1: and so that impacted we to our studios are closed.
Speaker 1: We can't get in there. Like nobody's traveling. We don't
Speaker 1: have like our total access shows are Good Morning Football.
Speaker 1: We can't have studio shows live right now because of
Speaker 1: the social distancing and just some of you know, the
Speaker 1: NFL has gone above and beyond which some of the
Speaker 1: governmental orders are in terms of just shuttering the building
Speaker 1: and everybody working remotely. So technologically it's tough. Um, some
Speaker 1: things I'm doing, like I am recording and I am doing,
Speaker 1: um a couple of live projects. But what this is
Speaker 1: forced me to do, and I kind of love it
Speaker 1: because I'm an old writer. This is forced me now
Speaker 1: to do some things on the written platform. So digitally,
Speaker 1: you know, I've got a couple of projects coming out
Speaker 1: this week that would be digital accompanied by video processes
Speaker 1: which might be easier for because of some of our
Speaker 1: technological things to get out on the web. Um, easier
Speaker 1: than maybe do it you know, broadcast wise, you know,
Speaker 1: into that vertical Um, just because some of the technological
Speaker 1: things we're dealing with operating remotely. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: I had no idea that you were an avid writer.
Speaker 1: Can we get like a little sneak peek or or
Speaker 1: do we have to wait? Well? I will be Actually
Speaker 1: I've got a big piece coming out in NFL dot
Speaker 1: com tomorrow, um about what players are doing right now,
Speaker 1: how they're staying in shape. Um. It's it's interesting, um
Speaker 1: because right now guys usually are with private trainers, but
Speaker 1: draft picks a lot of them are training at their universe,
Speaker 1: usually training at their universities. They're closed right now, so
Speaker 1: what are they doing? You know, nobody knows when this
Speaker 1: is gonna start. So some trainers I spoke with there
Speaker 1: being very careful about not pushing guys like they normally
Speaker 1: would because O. T A s typically start in April, right,
Speaker 1: so they'd be getting guys in prime shape. So when
Speaker 1: they step on the field in April, they're not pulling
Speaker 1: any muscles in this and that. Well, they're not pushing
Speaker 1: that hard right now because O, T, A, S and
Speaker 1: all in. Many camps are suspended indefinitely. Suppose they don't
Speaker 1: come until June. They want to burn a guy out,
Speaker 1: so by the time they get to June, they've got
Speaker 1: nothing left. So it's a really interesting piece on what
Speaker 1: some guys are doing they try to stay in shape,
Speaker 1: to manage things, and how a bunch of young men
Speaker 1: and their twenties are social distancing in their free time.
Speaker 1: I mean, sure some of them are still playing video games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but these guys aren't hanging out or doing things that
Speaker 1: they normally do. So I've got a really cool piece
Speaker 1: on that coming up, looking forward to it real quickly.
Speaker 1: Where can people find that so when people watch this
Speaker 1: they know where to find your stuff? Yeah, to be
Speaker 1: on NFL dot com and I'm sure we'll we'll put
Speaker 1: links out on the NFL Media, NFL Network and on
Speaker 1: my Twitter platform social platforms. I'm at whiteh W y
Speaker 1: C H E eight nine Old Jersey number perfect. We
Speaker 1: can't can't wait to see it. It's a very interesting piece.
Speaker 1: I'm glad somebody's talking about it because, like you said,
Speaker 1: this isn't something we've seen ever before. So each guy
Speaker 1: has to be handling it differently, you know, especially when
Speaker 1: you think of some of these guys just coming into
Speaker 1: the league, some of the guys that are getting ready
Speaker 1: to get drafted, compared to the guys who have been
Speaker 1: around for a little bit longer. And let's not kid ourselves.
Speaker 1: Even though they're in the NFL, there are some players
Speaker 1: who need some structure and we need to be kind
Speaker 1: of under somebody's thumb to work out diligently. Yeah something
Speaker 1: right now, who are sitting around working out two or
Speaker 1: three times a week and you know, ordering from late
Speaker 1: night pizza and eat and Cheetos, who aren't staying in
Speaker 1: the proper shape, They're gonna be exposed. So it's it's
Speaker 1: gonna be real interesting to see how guys handled this offseason.
Speaker 1: Who's really committed. Um, let's let's not kid ourselves. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a boon for these private trainers. These guys
Speaker 1: are gonna make it a ton of money because these
Speaker 1: guys are gonna because good players are gonna be paying
Speaker 1: them to keep them in shape. Um Whereas again, normally
Speaker 1: these guys would be working out with their teams by
Speaker 1: mid April because of O T A so just another
Speaker 1: adjustment people are gonna have to make. It's kind of
Speaker 1: a lot like the lockout year in two thousand eleven
Speaker 1: and players were locked out. There was still a draft,
Speaker 1: but nobody had any place to go. And then in
Speaker 1: July when everything got settled, late Russian training camp conditioning
Speaker 1: season started. Wasn't the prettiest of football for two or
Speaker 1: three weeks, but then everything kind of came together. Thank
Speaker 1: you to Olivia and thank you to Steve always great
Speaker 1: here from Mr Whitch of NFL Network and e A.
Speaker 1: Let's now talk about the trade back options. And again
Speaker 1: let's start at eleven because that's the jets first election.
Speaker 1: And what hypothetical scenario should I say, do you envision
Speaker 1: a trade back being likely for Joe Douglass and the Jets? Well,
Speaker 1: let's just play this out. Todd mcshay's latest mock draft.
Speaker 1: He had the Jets going for the fantastic receiver out
Speaker 1: of Alabama, Jerry Judy. We've been talking all along that
Speaker 1: who's gonna be playing across from Perryman? Now, h Perryman,
Speaker 1: you would think that he takes the spot of Robbie Anderson.
Speaker 1: And we know Jamison Crowd is still in the mix,
Speaker 1: and then there's some question marks as far as Quincy
Speaker 1: Nowton was howth Also, Vincent Smith is a young guy
Speaker 1: who's showed some things, especially last season, coming in and
Speaker 1: playing and things like that. But not to get off
Speaker 1: point is the McShay scenario is an instance where maybe
Speaker 1: the trade down makes sense because look at the names
Speaker 1: that he has at twelve through fifteen Greens twelve he
Speaker 1: has Ceedee Lamb going right after Jerry Judy out of
Speaker 1: Oklahoma to the Las Vegas Raiders. Nanny sticks with that
Speaker 1: receiver position. He says that the Jets are going to
Speaker 1: start the run of receivers. San Francisco uses that pick
Speaker 1: they just acquired from the Colts and they take Henry
Speaker 1: Ruggs does Speedster the absolute burner out of Alabama. Then
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers at fourteen go McKay Beckton. That tackle out
Speaker 1: of Lois Bo started at the right side and then
Speaker 1: finished up on the left side. We know that. And
Speaker 1: then Andrew Thomas goes to the Broncos at fifteen. At sixteen,
Speaker 1: you're talking about Javon kim Law from South Carolina, the
Speaker 1: interior Menace going to Atlanta. But that's a run of
Speaker 1: five or six pick screens where you're like, I could
Speaker 1: see potentially all those guys fitting in with the New
Speaker 1: York tests. And on the other side of that, there
Speaker 1: have been mocked drafts where three or four of the
Speaker 1: top offensive tackles have come off the board by the
Speaker 1: time the Jets are on the clock at eleven. So
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if maybe if that's the case,
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas and his stafford like, you know what, let's
Speaker 1: trade back a couple of spots. Maybe somebody wants to
Speaker 1: come up for the top receiver. I know. I saw
Speaker 1: a mock draft that had the Broncos going from fifteen
Speaker 1: to eleven so they could have their pick of the
Speaker 1: litter at receiver, and then the Jets ended up selecting
Speaker 1: I don't remember who it was, and I think it
Speaker 1: was actually Jeddrick Wills felt to fifteen in this mock draft.
Speaker 1: And then I saw another mock draft where the Jets
Speaker 1: actually traded back with the Falcons at sixteen. Who came
Speaker 1: up to take Caleb On, Chase On, and who's the
Speaker 1: edge rusher out of l s U. So I think
Speaker 1: that the trade back scenarios are interesting, and I just
Speaker 1: want to go back to the other round, similar to
Speaker 1: what we did with the trade up. I think maybe
Speaker 1: in the second round. See, this is what's unfortunate about
Speaker 1: a tiebreaker in terms of record and strength of schedule,
Speaker 1: because the Jets in the first rounds to their advantage,
Speaker 1: they finished seven and nine, their their strength of schedule,
Speaker 1: the way that it it panned out with the other
Speaker 1: teams that finished seven and nine, they're the first seven
Speaker 1: and nine team to be selecting at eleven, and in
Speaker 1: the second round they're the last because it flipped. So
Speaker 1: let's say they miss out on a string of players
Speaker 1: that they believe would have been worthy of pick. Maybe
Speaker 1: they trade back and collect another third round pick or
Speaker 1: another fourth round pick. Considering that the third and fourth
Speaker 1: rounds of this draft are so deep and you could
Speaker 1: find Day one contributors, if not Day one starters in
Speaker 1: those rounds, so awesome. Point. The thing that we have
Speaker 1: to keep in mind when we go back to eleven
Speaker 1: is that not every first round pick is equal. Mean,
Speaker 1: when the Jets finalize that draft board greens, they might
Speaker 1: have fourteen players that have actual first round grades assignment,
Speaker 1: they could have seventeen first rounders on their board. So
Speaker 1: one through thirty two. The weight is not the same
Speaker 1: much like the same in the second round, and early
Speaker 1: second rounder is a lot different than a late second rounder.
Speaker 1: And you're talking about how the Jets early on one
Speaker 1: of those teams at seven and nine first round it
Speaker 1: helps them second round though a little bit further back,
Speaker 1: of course. So I love the position they're in with
Speaker 1: the two third rounders because there's so much you can
Speaker 1: do with a pair of threes. There really are. You
Speaker 1: can go up potentially getting the high too. You could
Speaker 1: sit there on day three, have those threes and then trade.
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody wants one of those and they're gonna give
Speaker 1: you a two, and maybe that's a team who was
Speaker 1: rebuilding or struggling or whatever two next year. Um, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of values. There's a lot of value there
Speaker 1: in the pair of threes. But right now sitting there
Speaker 1: at forty eight. Um. The other thing you gotta keep
Speaker 1: in mind is you can't just go need need need,
Speaker 1: and Joe Douglas is not gonna be forcing anything you
Speaker 1: gotta especially when you start getting later in the draft.
Speaker 1: What's the bus value? How's the guy gonna help you? Um? So, uh,
Speaker 1: you know it would be interesting that the three one
Speaker 1: of those threes can get you all higher in the
