The Jets offered San Fran the 10th pick and another pick for Deebo. San Fran declined. In the end, I'm happy with the Jets draft picks and - Krusty Apr 29, 06:25 11
- They did great. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 29, 06:32 10
  - Trading back into the 1st round to get Johnson at 23 was quite surprising. They end up filling three needs and still have a high pick in round 2. - Krusty Apr 29, 06:38 9
    - Got three of the top 8 guys on their board they said. That's solid almost no matter how it happens. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 29, 06:49 1
      - Yup. Jets fans and players should be happy this morning and excited to get the season started. -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 06:56
    - Looks like a good draft, but I'd be worried why Johnson dropped so much. He had a really good Pro Day. - Inigo Apr 29, 06:45 4
      - Everything I've read has made it sound like it just ended up with team needs not matching up and so he fell. No news about anything that made - Krusty Apr 29, 06:51 1
        
        yeah, espn, The Ringer and NFL.com all sing the praises of the pick so would have to be something really under the radar -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 06:57

        Kiper usually doesn't know what rumor/issue/problem that makes prospects drop in the draft. - Inigo Apr 29, 06:51
    - everything I've read say you guys won the draft. so congagrats! -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 06:43 1
      - Thanks! Now they gotta win on the field too. -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 06:56

- doesn't he have to schedule sell offs? were these already scheduled or new for funding this sale? -- nm - colin Apr 29, 07:13
- so in theory, now that he's sold that, he need to pay taxes on the proceeds. is that right? -- nm - amanda Apr 29, 06:33 1
  - On any gains, yes, and I’m sure that was taken into account when he determined how much he needed to sell. -- nm - znufrii Apr 29, 06:40
- He wears the collar until he learns. -- nm - Reagen Apr 29, 06:21 1

Kenny Pickett is an objectively terrible name for a QB. He needs to be a CB. -- nm - Reagen Apr 29, 01:50 2
- Play-by-play guy. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 07:53
- Is he hawt enough to be a QB? probably not. But as a CB? yes - St. Epiphany Apr 29, 06:52 [Image]
