The Official 2025 NY Jets thread

LIstened to CImini’s pre-draft podcast.

He had interesting comments about Graham. He thinks he may be too similar to Quinnen WIlliams and that Glenn prefers a larger NT. So he isn’t sure Graham is a scheme fit. But he also said they could change the scheme because Graham is that good.

He feels the Jets have Banks ahead of Membou. He thinks Jalon Walker is the wildcard.

He also said he wouldn’t be surprised if they picked Warren, but he thinks its more likely to be about the lines.

I don’t think anyone thinks Milroe is an instant starter…most think he needs time to learn..like Jordan Love did in GB.

Rodgers is a weird dude..and I am very happy he is gone. But..if you asked Jet players they would say he was a great teammate.
Expand ...
Rudolph is Just Another Guy and Thompson is less than a JAG. Milroe represents hope for the future, if only because he's an unknown. If the Steelers are 1-4, particularly with Rodgers, All of western PA, let alone Greater Pittsburgh, will be clamoring for Milroe.

There is a difference between being a good teammate and being a team player. There is nearly no convincing me that Rodgers wasn't at least the tipping point on who stayed between Saleh and Hackett.

I still say the players would say he is a good team player.

I don’t like Rodgers..I wasn’t happy when they got him…and I am glad he is gone. But I still don’t think you can ignore how much he was loved by his teammates. Rich CImini said the locker room was supportive of Rodgers.

Saleh was fired because Woody Johnson had a hissy fit.
 
I don't know what to think on Membou. On one hand, you usually can't go wrong drafting a first round OL. On the other hand, there's a lot of buzz he was a combine darling and the Jets overlooked some good sized flaws (has to initiate contact or looks lost, he's on the ground alot).

And one quote was something like "The Jets passing up on Tyler Warren all but guarantees he's a 10 time pro bowler and first ballot HOF TE"

I wanted them to draft Bowers last year. And Warren this year. At least last year they had Conklin….this year they have uh….Ruckert?

I would hope the second round brings a tight end. But I fear it will be a DT.

This is why I think Cimini thought Banks was the better call.

Glenn and Mougey have no track record for leading the draft process. The last first time Jets GM who drafted an OL…drafted Becton. Who didn’t get decent until he left the team.

So….yeah…it’s the Jets.

I have such draft PTSD I was terrified as Shadeur fell the Jets would do something stupid and trade up to take him last night. The Browns are the betting favorite to take him right now and if I'm a Browns fan, I don't know how you don't jump off a bridge.

That would affirm my opinion of Browns Management. They killed it with the trade and the selection of Graham. Sanders would cancel all of that out.
 
The Athletic has the Jets picking Milroe in the second round. To me that says they don’t have much confidence in Fields..and it means they really don’t have any confidence Jordan Travis will ever see the field. I get it…Fields has a short term deal..and even if he does ok, Milroe is a nice insurance policy for injury and could potentially be a long term solution.

But…I am still hoping TE…but thinking DL.

Edit…I just way they have the Jets picking TE Arroyo from Miami in the third round. If it shakes out that way…I could live with that.

Still hard to believe Aaron Glenn first 3 picks are on offense.

TE it is…I actually like this. But it does feel weird to have a legendary Dolphin’s son on the roster. I know his Dad was on the Jets for a year…but that was a joke. Drafting a CB in the third round is a bit curious. I would have thought someone on the DL, safety or QB. But I will trust Glenn’s judgement (he hasn’t earned it..but I am an irrational fan)

I can’t believe Sanders has dropped this far. Usually having a famous father in football would help. But…it feels like his lineage is hurting him here. Lots of teams (like the Jets) don’t want QB drama added to the equation.
 
The only team that needs a QB before the Jets in the 4th is Las Vegas. I’m back on the ledge begging they don’t take him.

Phew…they picked a WR. Although…while the dude they picked is fast…I guess he has issues with drops. I was thinking DT or backup QB

Since they don’t seem in a hurry to pick a QB…I gotta think they believe Travis has a chance to come back…or they just believe they don’t need to invest beyond Fields and Taylor.
 
If they do pick a QB..I like McCord from Cuse. Maybe I am biased by his performance shredding the UConn defense, but he seems like a talented guy who makes plays.
 
Overall I think they did a good job. I still think they should have taken a QB in later rounds and maybe should have looked for a DT.

I think the Giants did a great job…and the Patriots did a very good job also.

But I am happy with the OL and TE picks.
 
They signed an UDFA QB. And the only criticism I heard was they didn’t go DL in a great DL draft but that’s a strong suit for them so I don’t think that’s a big deal.

Now it’s time to see what the regime can do building a broken culture.
 



They obviously knew this going into the draft. Seems odd they didn’t draft a QB.

Awful news for him. But reading his retirement letter…he seems like he has a good head on his shoulders and is at peace with the decision.
 
OK…offseason camps are over.

I am really enjoying the Glenn regime so far. While Saleh had a lot of cute slogans, the players seem to be respecting Glenn’s no nonsense approach.

I am really really enjoying Rodgers’ absence. While at the barber, I saw an ESPN chyron stating “Rodgers calls out Jets dysfunction”. Dude…you went on vacation during mini camp last year…you publicly called out your wide receivers. While Saleh had his issues, Rodgers was part of the problem.

The obvious biggest question is the offense. I think Glenn and WIlks will have the defense in good shape. If the O line stays healthy, it will be a strength. The RB group is solid..and Fields ability to run will only help them. If Mason Taylor is as advertised, they should be ok at TE. Huge question mark at WR. Beyond WIlson…who knows. Maybe they can find a veteran to play WR2 in preseason camp.

I am the eternally optimistic Jets fan who is ready to be disappointed and frustrated again…lol.

You mean the Rodgers who may or not be married?
 
I like what the new regime is doing. Signing Wilson and Sauce to long term extensions is exactly what needed to happen before camp. No contract distractions for two of their best players. And…these are high character guys…the kind you want as the cornerstone of the franchise.

In general…I was not a fan of Douglas…but he did nail that draft with Gardner, Wilson, Johnson and Hall.

Of Hall, Sauce and Wilson I wanted Sauce and Wilson to get the bag and I love the way this group did it. Nothing public. No drama. Locked up. Ugh this team is pulling me in.

I'm really starting to feel for Jets fans. Prior to Bob Kraft, the Patriots cycled through bad owner/front office personnel after the next and I wouldn't wish the fortunes of the Daniel Snyder era on anyone...other than the Giants.

But the Jets situation right now is not much better than any of those. If there is a silver lining, the Jets will most likely have a single digit draft pick in April and be in contention for Arch Manning.

 
Looks like Fields will be recovered by week 1.

Yeah…dislocated toe. Glad to hear is isn’t too bad…but it’s not great he is missing camp and valuable reps.

So…now he will start the season behind the 8 ball…with an excuse as to why he will struggle.

Regarding Manning being a top pick. I need to see him play a little before that is a reality. He was a backup to a 7th round pick last season.
 
Peyton Manning went back to Tennessee for his senior year rather than go to the Jets. No way they let Arch go to that loser franchise.

It wouldn't surprise me if they tried to maneuver him to New Orleans somehow. Full circle to his grandfather's team.
 
Ok…time for a doom post.

After 2 preseason games, the Jets QB situation doesn’t look good….short term or long term. Unless Glenn is just being super cautious in pre-season, Fields isn’t throwing the ball more than 10 yards. Wilson hasn’t caught a pass in either game. And…Taylor is out for the rest of pre-season. Considering it’s the Jets…who knows when he will actually be available.

The Jets are one hard tackle from having their below average QB knocked out and Adrian Martinez being their starting quarterback.

I was concerned when they didn’t use a draft pick for a QB and now that looks really bad. UFA Cook has not looked good at all.

Before the draft, I heard Charlie Weis with Cimini saying that Jaxson Dart was the real deal and the Jets should consider drafting him. At the time, the idea of drafting Dart that high in the first round seemed crazy. People also thought drafting Nix in 2024 that high was crazy, but apparently Payton knows how to spot a QB. Dart looks like the real deal.

Unfortunately the Jets don’t know how to spot a qb…let’s hope Fields is not as bad as he has looked so far. What I fear is that they will just give up on the passing game completely and start running Fields more and more. Then…he gets injured…and the Jets starter will be someone like Trevor Siemian…again.
