I know there's separate threads for both Jets and Giants fans, but I want to group them together for 1 night (3 nights basically, like being sequestered for insanity purposes) and let's talk and gripe and cheer and moan and drink and sober up for the NFL Draft!!!

What I'll do (and I hope mpharris and Stannis will help me) is post the picks for each team as they happen. Y'all just talk amongst yourselves as this goes down, as well any trades that could happen here. Got it? Good!

On behalf of all Jags fans, I offer my condolences to Jets fans, and thanks to the Jets organization

I do hear Zach Wilson could be better in the long term if he develops right, though

Well, and he's probably still not happy about them trading up to take a QB in the 1st last year.

As a Jet fan, I’m hoping for Justin Fields. I’m not really enamored with Wilson

Tim Tebow would be the best TE on the Jags by a wide margin

And that's not me complimenting Tebow.

I don't doubt you. But the Tebow downside has little to do with his limited football ability. He brings a huge amount of hero-worship fans. I hope for your sake Urban doesn't actually pull the trigger.

I dunno

Same way I became a Knicks fan I guess. Decided one day to follow football, thought "this team sucks, let's go with them" and just went from there

Kinda think it's funny I became a Golden Knights fan ironically, and they're actually legitimately good. Can't say the same about the Rockies though, but that's cause I didn't want to be a Sox or Yankees fan, and I went to a lot of Rock Cats games growing up, and they're the double-A team for the Rockies, so that's what happened there.

I trust Chris Simms when it comes to rating QB prospects and he says Wilson is going to be better than Lawrence

Personally, I'm hoping for Freiermuth with one of our 2nds

Always get him in Madden, and he's always a beast.

Choosing your sports teams like that, are you from another country, or just Connecticut?

Just CT

Didn't get into sports until a lot later, cause we didn't really watch sports when I was growing up. Except Nascar.

Gotcha. I guess since you are local the knicks I made the connection. But the others were all over the place I assumed it was random.

The rockies suck but you have had a decent run with the jags before the last couple years. But Lawrence obviously could change that.
