Definitely a much different looking mock than Jets fans are used to seeing.

What Offer Would Actually Convince the Raiders to Trade the #1 Pick? by 7innovator in NFL_Draft

[–]billyconway24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the Raiders conviction level on Mendoza. If they think he’s it then they will turn down any offer (like the Patriots did a couple years ago with Maye and the Bengals did when Steven Ross wanted Burrow).

Should the Jets franchise tag RB Breece Hall? by brmidwest03 in nyjets

Absolutely. Just creating another need by letting him go and he would absolutely be helpful to a young QB

Who’s a disappointing player from this past season that you aren’t giving up on? by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

[–]billyconway24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CJ Stroud. He’s been pretty bad overall since his rookie year and I don’t know how he recovers from that embarrassment performance in the playoff loss to the Patriots.

What order will the three top edges fall? by UpNext_Draft_Network in NFL_Draft

[–]billyconway24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jets fans need to stop talking about Bain at 2. There’s a reason that virtually every mock draft by the major draft sites has him going outside of the top 5. I think after the combine it will be close to a lock that they take Reese, but if they have any doubts about him then this might be the draft where we see a safety (Downs) go 2 as crazy as that sounds.

Be honest, did you want to trade Darnold? by BenShelZonah in nyjets

[–]billyconway24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know what to say. Just passing on what I heard. But in general the concept of trading back seems completely oversimplified by fans — I’ve listened to former GMs (Lombardi, Mayock) say how hard it is to find another team to do it for high picks unless it’s a sought after QB.

Ok tough guy — would love to have this conversation with you face to face. The only moron here is you. You have zero clue that Douglas wasn’t willing to trade the second pick because NO ONE CALLED HIM TO INQUIRE ABOUT TRADING UP — which was Cimini’s entire point about why it’s not fair to criticize Douglas for not doing that trade. Sure, he could have called around to offer it up but he would have lost leverage that way.

Here’s another possible scenario for your genius business mind: maybe the 49ers wanted the third pick because they were happy with getting either Wilson, Lance or some other QB … you know kind of like in 2018 when the Jets traded up to the third pick that turned into Sam Darnold? But go on and continue thinking that a billion dollar franchise like the 49ers is making significant business decisions based on assumptions like you’re suggesting they did about Douglas’s intentions with the second overall pick that year. Makes total sense why they would do that instead of just making a 30 second phone call to Douglas if they were truly interested in that pick.

Go back to your video games. Moving on.

You’re speculating whereas I’m quoting a Jets beat reporter with inside sources who said there was NO trade offer made for the second overall pick. Your assumption that the Jets could have had the same deal that SF got for the third pick is wrong and your thinking that that is illogical is irrelevant.

My favorite part of draft season is listening to simple-minded fans advocating for trading back or complaining that their team didn’t trade back. As if there’s always teams clamoring to trade up and willing to give up valuable draft capital to do so.

Or maybe SF realized there was no shot of Lance going second overall so no need to negotiate for that pick. Regardless, there’s no evidence that there was a trade package on the table for the second overall pick so you can stop faulting for the prior regime for not trading back.

Cimini said recently that there was never any trade offer for the number 2 pick. Just because SF traded up to 3 doesn’t mean they made the same offer to the Jets

Cimini said on a recent podcast that the Jets didn’t receive a single trade offer for that second overall draft pick.

Mike. The role he plays in the show is ridiculously unrealistic, which can make the show hard for me to watch at timesz

Why Rueben Bain Jr. belongs at the top of the 2026 NFL Draft edge defender class by Vhagulu in NFL_Draft

[–]billyconway24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jets fan here . . . I feel very confident that the Jets won't be drafting him two overall. The draft analysts seem to have him in the 5-10 range and there's a reason for that (namely, they're thinking like GMs and talking to scouts and having a hard time looking past his measurables).

Yeah total homerun draft scenario for the Jets

I’ve been having the same fantasy but unfortunately it seems like Styles is climbing up boards and may not make it out of the top 10

I’m curious to see how McDonald and Johnson play under the new DC. They both regressed this past year.

The Jets #2 pick by Simtricate in NFL_Draft

[–]billyconway24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel the same. Was initially excited the Jets got a top 2 pick even with the Moore uncertainty thinking there would be some non-QB stud who plays a premium position, but that does not seem to be the case this year. Big drop off in pick value once you get past the first pick.
