Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK Will the Jets target a wide receiver to trade up in the draft? The New York Jets do not have a second round pick in the upcoming draft, which has fueled speculation that they could want to move down in the draft in exchange for additional picks. However, the Jets could also use another blue-chip player (as could every team in the league), which could give them reason to move up rather than back. This week, general manager Joe Douglas spoke about the possibility, confirming that it is under consideration to some degree. Joe Douglas says they a ..read more

Photo by John Byrum/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The tight end position has emerged as one of the most hotly debated topics among Jets fans this draft cycle, albeit primarily focusing on one standout prospect. However, it’s imperative to assess the entire group, given the array of promising talents, each offering unique skill sets, with some excelling in specific areas. Presently, our options seem limited to Conklin and Ruckert. While there are potential talents waiting in the wings, pinning our hopes on them seems imprudent. Conklin boasts reliability, but Ruckert’s performance has been m ..read more

Photo by Megan Briggs/Getty Images Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. It turns out that Joe Douglas and the New York Jets were able to do the unthinkable. Yesterday the team managed to trade quarterback Zach Wilson to the Denver Broncos for a pick swap, with the Jets receiving a 6th-round pick in return for Wilson and a 7th-round selection. The Jets also agreed to pay for half of Wilson’s salary for this season. To be honest, I never thought a team would make a trade to receive Zach Wilson giv ..read more

Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK Roman Wilson is fast, quick and smart, with great hands Roman Wilson is a clutch, tough, crafty and smart receiver, with great hands and speed to burn. He is a smart kid who was an academic All-Big 10 scholar. He has near elite speed that he combines with excellent acceleration to get himself free of coverage. He was severely under-used in Michigan’s pound the rock offensive scheme. One quarter of Wilson’s receptions in 2023 went for touchdowns. In Michigan’s championship season he caught half of the team’s touchdown receptions even though he only had 18.6% of the ..read more

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Should the Jets be interested in Jackson Powers-Johnson? By my assessment the New York Jets have done a tremendous job in terms of improving the upside of the offensive line this season. Most notably, they added offensive tackle Tyron Smith who simply might be the best tackle in the league when healthy. Beyond that, they added some decent starters in guard John Simpson and tackle Morgan Moses. Beyond those additions, they have reason to expect center Joe Tippman and offensive line Swiss army knife Alijah Vera-Tucker to be improved based on more experience (and ..read more

Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images The interior offensive line group may boast depth, yet it’s the scarcity of top-tier talent that sets them apart. Conversely, the offensive tackle cohort is brimming with such talent, making it likely that we’ll witness a record number of them drafted in the first round this year. It’s a class heavily weighted towards its upper echelon. By the time the third round kicks off, the cream of the crop might have already been plucked. Securing a tackle with immediate starting potential demands a pick within the top 64 selections. The urgency for ac ..read more

Shout out to Mr. Wells for holding down the fort over the weekend as usual. The New York Jets have been favored to draft Georgia tight end Brock Bowers for the past couple of weeks - this coming after the team was favorited to select an offensive lineman with their first pick. I’ve talked about this previously on Flight Connections, but I truly believe the Jets would be better off skipping on Brock Bowers ..read more

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Which defensive tackles might be a good fit for the Jets? As I proposed a few weeks ago, while the New York Jets defense is among the league’s best, they could still stand to improve their depth at defensive tackle. It would be quite surprising if the Jets opted to address this at pick 10, but it’s possible they could on a trade back if the right offer was proposed or they could look to add someone with a later pick. With that in mind, which defensive tackles should Jets fans be happiest to see taken by the Jets during the draft? To answer that, let’s check out this ..read more
