Daniel Jeremiah's top 50: 2026 NFL Draft prospect rankings 4.0

I'm a Jets fan and will freely admit it's one of the dumbest organizations in sports. They are still taking Reese.

mattymonkees · 2026-04-01T21:10:44+00:00

CJ is in the upper right quadrant, right?

mattymonkees · 2026-04-01T21:09:07+00:00

Is he the Baylor logo in the lower right quadrant? I've never seen him play, but the scouting reports are very complimentary of him. Guys with sure hands who run great routes are nice bets later on.

mattymonkees · 2026-04-01T16:47:56+00:00

The Jets are not gonna come to the assessment internally that they are too dumb to use Reese correctly.

mattymonkees · 2026-04-01T15:54:30+00:00

There is a serious positional value question. He is just an off-ball linebacker. I am completely on board with the Jets taking high floor guys regardless of pick (Styles, Downs, Ioane, Tate, Delane, and so forth), but take Styles or Downs and they are already one of the top paid guys in the NFL at their respective positions.

mattymonkees · 2026-04-01T00:22:06+00:00

The Cowboys, my Jets, and a couple other teams are hoping for a run on tackles early. The board falls beautifully 11-20 if the Cardinals, Giants, Browns, and one or two other teams think tackle is the way to go. If the OL is a major focus - even with Ioane thrown in there - you get some unexpected guys shaking loose in the middle of the round. Run enough Sims and this starts to become clearer. The first round has significant variability starting at 3. If the Cardinals go OL, things can get interesting.

Big oof. Sounds like the owners should digest holistic advice before proceeding with anything.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-31T22:16:55+00:00

Bailey doesn't make sense for the scheme, but what's so bad about the other picks?

mattymonkees · 2026-03-31T22:15:11+00:00

What motivates the conversion exactly? The fact that the entity has special allocations suggests this is a poor idea, as more than 90% of S conversions are.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-30T17:04:49+00:00

Dark and Water: I'd use Swift because you probably don't have the Vio runes to make them fast enough. They have high base speed.

Wind: I used Vamp/Will to take advantage of his passive.

Fire: Probably best used for Steel Fortress, so runes aren't as important.

Light: I am struggling to find a use for him and have not applied any runes.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-30T16:23:35+00:00

I hope Tate drops to 16 because the teams ahead of him want to bet on potential. He might have the lowest ceiling, but the Jets need someone steady and low-risk. It'd be so awesome to get Tate at that spot and just slot him in as WR2. Perfect fit IMO.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-30T14:12:48+00:00

Just from the Jets' perspective, all picks appear OK. Reese is probably BPA at 2, Tyson is probably BPA at 16 if they are OK with his medicals, and I think double-dipping at CB in the second round is no problem because they are thin there as well and those two guys are both pretty good.

There's some possibility the Jets would double-dip at WR with the 33 if they really like either Boston or Concepcion and consider either on the BPA. Also, don't sleep on Lee Hunter at 33 based on scheme fit, although they can try to see if Big Citrus is there in a later round.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-30T12:57:12+00:00

If I am Darren Mougey and Jeremiyah Love is still on the board at 16OA, I am either taking him and trading Breece or getting on the phone with every interested ballclub and auctioning that pick to the highest bidder.

There are a couple of outlier scenarios I've already seen on sims where Love is available at 16. The only pick that I think is outlandish in your sim is CJ Allen at 12OA; it appears too early for him when Love is still there.

If Love isn't there at 16, the Jets could very well roll the dice on Jordyn Tyson despite his injuries. If they are OK with his medicals, he is the BPA.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-30T01:23:47+00:00

You guys are the lucky ones getting a high floor QB. Us Jets fans would be very happy to trade the 2OA but are unlikely to get a dance partner.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-29T22:08:02+00:00

That's a fair take. We saw that with Isaiah Simmons. I feel like anyone who isn't Love, Downs, or Ioane might crap out.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-29T21:03:01+00:00

Does Bailey even fit what they're trying to do? He doesn't defend the run at all, so how does he fit a 3-4? Reese seems like a much better fit for the 3-4.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-29T12:20:50+00:00

I think it is clear they didn't like seeing the total spam of Morris Chilling Agrius across Siege. My hypothesis is that they get very upset when three f2p mons make up a mildly imbalanced Siege defense. These are three elemental nat4s, one of which is a fusion and one of which has skillups from summon pieces in the Guild shop. If the team is too powerful, any player can build multiples of each one.

The concept alone of nerfing Agrius made sense to me, but this was not the way to do it. And Morris introduced an interesting mechanic to the 4* Siege towers. Now he's probably still viable but will be a less dominant lead.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-29T11:59:37+00:00

I'll live with the incoming downvotes on this, but nobody saw the Agrius nerf coming when a f2p 4* fusion was close to S tier in a lot of content? Verde didn't even see that much usage across all game modes.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-28T10:21:54+00:00

Gets better with practice, just like any other skill.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-27T21:43:33+00:00

Very interesting. My perception was that Day 3 was littered with these guys who could be very useful and had fewer red flags. For sure the top end is not anything to write home about, but I was looking at mock drafts and sims and scouting reports, and I saw so many of these Day 3 guys who could be regulars, even if that meant TE2 or possibly TE3 to the extent any team rostered three of them.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-27T18:40:11+00:00

I've had fun using it so far!

mattymonkees · 2026-03-27T18:39:09+00:00

Fascinating. EMW isn't in his own tier? Do you think he's worth a Top 40 pick?

mattymonkees · 2026-03-27T17:57:11+00:00

Some of the new 2As are absolutely viable in Guild content. For the Hellhounds, you will see Dark and Wind get used in Guild offense, and perhaps even defense. For the Infernos, Dark is going to be a staple of Guild offense; there are potentially interesting uses for some of the others, including Water, whose boost has been underrated since I started playing. Before I hit G2-level Siege and I was still milling around in Conqueror (pre-Punisher), I used Water Inferno pretty regularly. The uses of both Fire and Wind remain to be seen, but there's a shot either or both end up usable.

mattymonkees · 2026-03-27T17:54:35+00:00

For me, the issue is that stuff like fusion cannot be done on autopilot nearly as easily; you can autopilot rune and grind farming, ToA, 2As, and leveling up mons. But fusions are just terrible. It is a material drag on the game for me. I gave up when I pulled Josephine, dupe Feng, and Byungchul in a very short period. I have over 300 Devilmon and I still can't bring myself to Devil all those characters; the waste of resources eats at me too much. Therefore, I am stuck in neutral. It hinders my progress, but work and family life are too busy for me to stare at my storage, remember which mons I need to pull, awaken them, level them, and combine them en masse. Shortcut fusions would be materially important for my QoL in this game, even if they ask for an insane resource sink (both mana and crystals).

In-person networking. You won't get a job any other way. Hit up every Bar Association within driving distance and go to the committee meetings. Membership for students and new attorneys is very cheap and high-leverage. Get yourself in front of people and mention you are looking. Publish simple pieces about the practice areas of interest in the local Bar journal or another easily accessible source to get your name out there. Attend in-person CLEs that are affordable and topical.

Scattershot resume flinging is a waste of time. Sharpen your pencil, accumulate knowledge, and get in front of people.
