Matt Miller’s mock draft has the Jets adding an offensive playmaker

Photo by Perry McIntyre/ISI Photos/ Georgia’s Brock Bowers is becoming a popular player to mock to the Jets. ESPN’s Matt Miller put together a full seven round mock draft. With the tenth overall pick he has the Jets adding an offensive weapon. 10. New York Jets Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia If it were me, I’d be going offensive tackle or wideout here. But after the Jets acquired offensive tackles Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses and wide receiver Mike Williams, it feels like they are all-in on winning this season with Aaron Rodgers returning from a torn Achilles.

Raiders draft: Are the Jets a draft pivot point?

Tom Telesco | Photo by Stacy Revere/ Raiders need to pay attention to New York, which owns the No. 10 overall pick With the NFL draft coming in just four weeks, it makes sense for the Las Vegas Raiders to pay attention to teams picking ahead of them in the first round. One of those teams is the New York Jets, who own the No. 10 overall pick, three picks ahead of the Raiders at No. 13. The Jets did a lot of work in free agency and added at the offensive line including left tackle with veteran Tyron Smith and right tackle Moses Morgan. That may mean the Jets are out of...

Raiders quarterback 2024: Hypothetical way to draft Caleb Williams

Caleb Williams | Photo by Kevin Sabitus/ Is there trade scenario where Las Vegas gets up to No. 1 pick? Ok, let’s do a fun, little exercise here. This seems unlikely, but let’s workshop this a bit. I was engaging with a user on Twitter recently who thought the Raiders’ best bet to somehow convince the Chicago Bears to give up the No. 1 overall draft pick to allow the Raiders to take USC’s superstar prospect Caleb Williams with the top pick would be to trade star wide receiver Davante Adams to the New York Jets for the No. 10 pick. Then, the Raiders could...

Should the 49ers trade for Jets QB Zach Wilson?

Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports The 49ers are rumored to have interest in the Jets quarterback. The San Francisco 49ers have been in rumors about potentially trading for New York Jets Zach Wilson, who is expected to fetch only a late Day 3 pick in return.

The Athletic released their “NFL executive” mock draft: Who did the New York Jets take?

Joshua L. Jones / USA TODAY NETWORK Could the Jets take a tight end in the first round? Most mock drafts are just the thoughts of one person. Accordingly, their biases (e.g., the types of players they do or don’t like) are able to shape a lot of the decisions. In other cases, mock drafts are done by groups which, in theory, should allow these individual biases to cancel out across the larger group of decision makers. However, merely having a bunch of voters can also have flaws if those voters are all pretty uninformed. What I think is cool is that Mike Sando of The...
