The New York Jets’ draft answered some needs, but did it do enough? The New York Jets’ draft class in 2024 was largely about insuring the depth of the team both in 2024 and beyond. The two most obvious needs were at offensive tackle and wide receiver, which, as expected, the Jets addressed with their first two picks. As a whole, though, did the Jets do enough to make sure the depth of their team was solid? Or are there still more moves that the team needs to make? On this week’s episode of The Score Boord podcast, Adam B, known fondly to Jets YouTube as wa2k99, joined the show to answer quest ..read more

The New York Jets will likely disappoint fans with their wide receiver depth chart In 2022, the New York Jets gave cornerback Sauce Gardner second-team reps until halfway through training camp. During Week 1 of that season, Garrett Wilson was the No. 4 receiver on the depth chart. In 2023, Joe Tippmann began camp as the team’s third-string center. This is a roundabout way of warning Jets fans about what to expect once the team’s mandatory minicamp begins. Robert Saleh doesn’t just hand playing time to rookies — not even Sauce, who came into the league as one of the most polished players in re ..read more

The NFL will likely release the New York Jets’ schedule shortly The New York Jets know who their opponents will be in 2024 and whether they’re home or road games. The question is when those games will be, and possibly where. The NFL is expected to release the full 2024 season schedule on Thursday, May 9, although they’ve been cagey about even announcing the date of the announcement. It’s schedule week (we think). Word is the NFL is expected to announce that this Thursday May 9th will be the day the full schedule releases. — uSTADIUM (@uSTADIUM) May 6, 2024 Here are the Jets’ opponents in 2 ..read more

The two running backs the New York Jets drafted both succeeded in an important area One of the New York Jets’ puzzling decisions in the NFL draft was adding two running backs. The move signified a clear move toward a power scheme and possibly the end of Izzy Abanikanda’s short tenure with the Jets. Still, it certainly raised some eyebrows. Michael Nania pinpointed one critical skill in which Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis excelled in college: generating yards after contact. After dealing with backup running backs who went down at first contact, the Jets acquired two bruising backs who are har ..read more

After the roast of the perpetual New York Jets rival, Eli Manning chimed in about his dominance over Tom Brady One of the New York Jets’ long-time rivals took another jab from a former cross-town opponent.  In the aftermath of Tom Brady’s roast on Netflix, former Giants quarterback Eli Manning posted his own joke at the future Hall-of-Famer’s expense. “I thought about attending the Roast of Tom Brady last night, but I did not want to Roast him for a 3rd time!!” I thought about attending the Roast of Tom Brady last night, but I did not want to Roast him for a 3rd time!! — Eli Manni ..read more

One player trying out with the New York Jets is living his dad’s dream The New York Jets have no shortage of connections to 9/11. From their canceled game the following week to the next game against the New England Patriots to their 9/11 opening game in 2023, there are many moments linking team, city, and moment. Jets head coach Robert Saleh credits his brother’s escape from the World Trade Center as the impetus for his career change from financial analyst to football coach. Now, there’s another touching addition to the legacy. Nearly 23 years after his father Timothy McSweeney, a Jets season ..read more

Malachi Corley’s YAC is excellent, but his film shows he will bring even more to the New York Jets The New York Jets moved up in the third round to take Malachi Corley with the 65th pick in the 2024 NFL draft. Joe Douglas even came out and told the media that Corley was the fourth-ranked WR on their big board. In all honesty, all I had heard about Corley prior to the draft was that he is known as the “YAC King.” That’s also the primary way he has been billed to Jets fans since being selected. I dove deep into Corley’s stats and tape, and it was evident what the Jets saw in him and why fans sh ..read more

Both of the New York Jets’ rookie running backs will add a much-needed ability in the RB room The New York Jets’ fourth-round selection of Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen was widely praised at the moment it was announced. However, when the Jets followed up the Allen pick by taking another running back 39 spots later in South Dakota State’s Isaiah Davis, it turned some heads. When you break it down, though, the double-dip at running back makes sense. The Jets only had one proven NFL running back on their roster entering the draft. So, why not take two? Following Breece Hall, the Jets’ onl ..read more

Mike Francesa foresees big things for the 2024 New York Jets A legendary New York sports radio host has high expectations for the New York Jets. On his self-titled podcast, Mike Francesa said he sees a path for the Jets to make it to the Super Bowl in 2024. “If everything fell into place, the Jets could go to the Super Bowl this year. Yes, I think they could be that formidable in the playoffs if everything falls into place.” The former WFAN host said he enjoyed some of the team’s moves, such as signing Tyron Smith and drafting Olu Fashanu. However, he also said that head coach Robert Sal ..read more

The New York Jets indicated potential remaining moves with their NFL draft selections After the endless debate about the New York Jets’ potential moves in the NFL draft, the wait is finally over. In many ways, the Jets telegraphed both their approach to the 2024 season and potential future moves with their selections — and lack of selections. While Jets X-Factor will have in-depth coverage of every player the team selected, here are some of my initial thoughts about the draft and what the Jets may do going forward. The gap scheme change is complete The Jets indicated they were seeking to chan ..read more
