It's hard to envision the Jets moving past Oakland and San Fan (Oakland does have the Bengals still though and they look terrible without a QB); but yesterday was a nice gain for them moving into the top 3 picks. Just gotta lose these next couple to stay locked there.

Giants aint mess up no tank. Football players are not going to cash it in if they have pride. Its only 16 games. If anything it should be respected that Giants fought back and did not lay down like bitches after the poor start. The Jets? well they laid down with no pride.

Jets entered the season with low expectations in the middle of a rebuild and are now injured to hell and back. You could dress up the Giants season as respectful all you want, but it's still been as terrible a season as the Jets', might be worse with pre-season expectations (maybe not here, but I've seen predictions of a 10-6 record for them).

Solid is in the 8 wins range (3 more than last year). So me making a bet wouldn't make much sense. But you're on.

I'm saying they'll win less. I assume solid would mean you project 8-9 wins. Avy bet for 4 months. You're on brother.

lololloololol

And Baker was the best QB in the class btw

The giants season is terrible. Iim stating the fact there is no ruin to the tank.I would rather go down fighting than lying down like a soft dog. Predictions be dammned. Giants are still ass, but they have pride. There is no QB to die for in this draft.

I hate to say it but our dopey GM got it right. Not because I don't think the other QBs won't be good but Barkley really is in discussion to be the best player at his position in the league. I thought his average vision and his proneness to dance a lot would simply just make him a really good back making him not worth passing on a possible franchise QB. He's turned it up to a whole nother level since the Bucs game cutting down on the negative runs.

I'm a Jets fan who's still very bullish on Darnold and even I think yall made the right decision. Barkley's special.

Was against SB pick but he's proven he's going to the best back very quickly. Concerned about timing bc you want that rookie QB contract to make a run at a chip,the old model of paying your QB is going out the window when you have a QB wiz coach like Rams, Eagles, Bears, etc.

Yep until they fix that, the rookie NFL QB contract will be the best deal in sports. Don't love the QBs in this draft but maybe there's still time to fall for 1.

I still think Darnold could be very good as well but its going to take the right coaching staff and a decent amount of personnel to develop him into the guy he could be.

This mock has the Giants taking my pick for the Jets if the first two go that way. Let's swap picks and yall can take Haskins while we get some added capital.

I know some cats I played soccer with that I'd love to see get a crack at this, though we played a decade ago or more so maybe not any more.

those are the only non-football-trained athletes i think would have a shot. i know some soccer players converted to placekickers for NCAA at least.
