We got enough questions to do a second mailbag tomorrow. On today's podcast we look at whether comments made by former Giants coach Ben McAdoo about Sam Darnold are worth considering, whether Darrelle Revis will go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the Jets, whether Revis could be considered the greatest player in franchise history, why the Jets have drafted so poorly in the second round, whether we should cut Mike Maccagnan some slack for drafting Christian Hackenberg since it was a roll of the dice to upgrade quarterback, and questions about style.

The mailbag show wouldn't work if there were no mailbag questions. Today we look at whether it is possible the Jets will receive any compensatory picks as a result of what happened in free agency, whether the team actually needs 17 wide receivers on the roster at this point in time, the greatest individual season in franchise history, whether the Jets should make a big trade offer to land an edge rusher, when the rookie quarterback will enter the starting lineup, and how much pressure Mike Maccagnan's job might come under if the rookie does not produce out of the gate.

This week I decided to do a bonus mailbag to finish up the unanswered questions. Once again thanks to everybody who submitted something to the mailbag. We couldn't do it without you. Today we look at free agent options for the Jets on the offensive line, what a realistic timeframe is to rebuild the offensive line, what it would mean for a team that used a pick on Kyler Murray if he went back to school, whether the Jets should borrow their new uniform concept from an AAF team, whether Sam Darnold's development could prevent the Jets from building a contender in a roundabout way, and the odds of Deontay Burnett turning into a quality NFL wide receiver.

On yesterday's mailbag show, I was unable to get to all of the questions. With the opportunity to do a second mailbag, I can get to the remainder. Thanks to everybody who sent questions. On today's show we look at the concept of tanking, how attractive the Jets will be to potential free agents as well as coaching and general manager candidates if they keep losing games, whether teams should value corners more than pass rushers in today's NFL, what would need to happen to make the Jets keeping Mike Maccagnan and Todd Bowles acceptable, what a competent search for a general manager looks like, and whether Sam Darnold should have a lock on the starting job in 2019 no matter what.

On this week's mailbag, we look at whether it will be easier for the Jets to work around their offensive line situation or their cornerback situation, how the offensive line has looked so far, whether the Jets will look internally or outside the organization for Quincy Enunwa's replacement, whether there was a difference between the way Todd Bowles and Kacy Rodgers calls a game, areas of improvement for Jamal Adams in year two, differences between the Sam Darnold of 2018 and the Mark Sanchez of 2009, how much blame Parry Nickerson deserves for touchdowns against the Colts, and more.

This week's mailbag has been moved up to Wednesday. Thank you once again to those of you who submitted questions. If yours did not make it in, please ask it again next week. There is a quarterback theme to this week's mail. We look at how the Jets should handle the free agent market at the position in the offseason, which signal callers should have their interest in the Draft, and the extent to which there are red flags around Oklahoma quarterback prospect Baker Mayfield. We also take a look at the reasons the quality of play in the NFL is so low, where the Jets might end up picking in the Draft, and whether the Jets should have interest in acquiring a couple of players who just became available. I hope everybody has a very Happy Thanksgiving. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices by Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

Locked on Jets 4/19/18 Episode 393: Mailbag One Week Out: We are just one week from the start of the 2018 NFL Draft. In seven days, the Jets will chart their course for at least the next few years and perhaps the next decade plus by drafting their next quarterback of the future. On today's podcast we will do a mailbag. Thanks to those of you who submitted questions. If your question did not get answered, do not fret. I think we will do another mailbag tomorrow. Next week will be dominated by the Draft so we probably will not get to a mailbag. Thus we will do two this week barring unforseen events. Today we look at whether any of the consensus top four quarterback prospects is a sure thing or a sure bust, the recently retired Nick Mangold's finest moment in a Jets uniform, whether Sam Darnold or Baker Mayfield ran a more complex offensive system in college, whether Quincy Enunwa's role may change, who the Jets should pick at 3 if they don't choose a quarterback, and whether Saquon Barkl by Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

Mailbag:Wide Receiver Is a Must for The New York Jets in the 2022 NFL Draft 3/30/22: Today we have our weekly mailbag show. Unsurprisingly much of the focus is on the wide receiver position as the free agency period fades and the NFL Draft approaches. Questions center on how big of a need wide receiver is, the quality of the class, and whether the Jets should be looking to add more than one. We also discuss the role of tight end and Mekhi Becton's future. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices by Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

Two weeks ago Thanksgiving came on mailbag day. Last week there were some other scheduling matters that prevented a mailbag. Today we are back. Thanks to everybody who submitted questions for the show, and apologies if your question was not answered. Today we look at which stats matter when evaluating edge rushers, whether the Jets should appoint a personnel guy as Mike Maccagnan's boss, how much the Jets should require to trade down if Nick Bosa is available when they pick, how safe Maccagnan's job is, whether Chris Johnson has full authority to decide whether the general manager and head coach will be fired, why this rebuild is taking so long, and more.

Locked on Jets 3/20/18 Episode 373: Changing Expectations: It has been an eventful week for the Jets. Their salary cap space has facilitated a number of additions who will hopefully upgrade the roster moving forward. While these moves are worst discussing, two stand above all others. One was a move the Jets didn't make. Another was one they did. The Jets were unable to land free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins who found his way to the Minnesota Vikings. They were, however, able to trade up to obtain the third overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. These will likely be remembered as legacy moments for Mike Maccagnan. Whether they will ultimately be remembered as good or bad, we can only guess at this point. They have, however, unquestionably altered expectations for the 2018 New York Jets. On today's podcast we discuss how expectations have changed due to these two major developments. Learn more about your ad choices.

To celebrate that fact and the fact today is Thursday, we have a podcast mailbag for you. Thanks once again to those of you who submitted questions. They certainly are appreciated. We could not have done the show without you. Today we look at whether the Jets prevented the Bills from having a successful season by re-signing Josh McCown, whether the Jets, Chiefs, or Bills has had the most desirable last four decades, the extent to which veteran mentors matter for young quarterbacks, the extent to which turnovers in training camp practices matter for young quarterbacks, and whether the next Collective Bargaining Agreement should further standardize rookie contracts.

One Year Anniversary Of The Sam Darnold Trade As The Carolina Panthers Quarterback Search Continues: Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary of the team's decision to trade a second, fourth, and sixth-round pick for the then-New York Jets quarterback. A year later the team is looking to replace the quarterback they believed would be the franchise moving forward. Who is to be blamed for this hellacious decision? The Panthers are set to bring in Malik Willis (Liberty), Kenny Pickett (Pitt), Matt Corral (Ole Miss), Desmond Ridder (Cincinnati), Sam Howell (UNC), and Bailey Zappe (Western Kentucky) to Charlotte next week for the teams 30 pre-draft visits. Which of these prospects are the most desirable? ESPN's Todd McShay released his two-round Mock Draft 4.0, once again mocking Kenny Pickett to the Panthers. McShay views Pickett as the most NFL-ready of the prospects available. Julian explains why that reasoning is shortsighted given what's needed to win in the NFL today.

There wouldn't be a mailbag show without mailbag questions, and it was a big response this week. We had so many that I'm thinking of doing a second mailbag on Friday just to try and get to all of them. Today we look at the floor and ceiling of Frankie Luvu, what options remain at the center position, whether Muhammad Wilkerson is worth bringing back on a cheap deal, whether high-risk high-reward is the best strategy in the Draft, whether the Jets should explore a trade of Darron Lee for Pittsburgh's Artie Burns, whether Lee could have a productive role on the team this season, and whether the team should push to bring back Morris Claiborne.

Locked on Jets 5/25/18 Episode 420: Do the Jets Draft Safe Players or Go for Upside?: I got an interesting e-mail from a podcast listener yesterday named Richard. Richard is a diehard Jets fan from the United Kingdom. He made the observation that the Draft this year for the Jets was largely a developmental one after the selection of Sam Darnold opposed to plug and play. Richard's e-mail got me thinking a bit about whether Mike Maccagnan has shown any discernible pattern during his time as Jets general manager. Does Maccagnan take more of a developmental approach to his picks? Does he favor plug and play? Does he prefer a mix of the two? On today's show we take a look. I think it is only worth looking at the first three rounds since most everybody picked on the third day of the Draft is a developmental player. How many of Maccagnan's picks have been developmental players? How many have been plug and play? I offer a subjective grade for all eleven. Learn more about your ad choices.
