Locked on Jets 4/3/19 Episode 604: Scattered Thoughts

Locked on Jets 3/29/18 Episode 601: Draft Ponderings: The NFL Draft is now less than a month away. With the big part of free agency all but done, most fans have turned their attention to the Draft. The Jets own the third overall pick and plenty of big holes to fill on their roster. Over the next few weeks, one debate is bound to dominate the fanbase. Should the Jets keep the third pick and grab one of the top three players in this year's class, or should they look to trade down so they can add additional picks? On today's podcast I offer a few thoughts on this dilemma. There are valid arguments for both sides. The answer also isn't necessarily easy to decipher since the outcome could vary on either side. I also offer some thoughts on the show about filling needs through the Draft. Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets 10/31/17 Episode 277: Midseason Review: The NFL season moves very quickly. By the time you reach the midway point of a season, it can feel like almost no time has passed since Week 1. The Jets are at the midway point of the 2017 season. They have completed eight games from their sixteen game schedule. On today's podcast, let's look back at the first half. I have some reflections and awards to give out for the Jets. I also look forward a bit on what might be coming in the second half of the season. Additionally, today is the NFL trade deadline. Some big deals were made on Monday.. The biggest one might have involved a division rival as the Patriots sent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to San Francisco for a second round pick. I have a few thoughts on the deal along with the approach the Jets should take at the deadline in general. Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets 4/16/19 Episode 613: Playing Nice With Draft Prospects: The NFL Draft is fast approaching. It gets started a week from Thursday. The Jets own the third overall pick, but they are a candidate to potentially trade back. I have made no secret of the fact that I am a big fan of the three players the team is likely to pick if it keeps the third overall pick. A trade down does remain a possibility, though. A trade down could potentially help the Jets stack their figurative cupboard with young talent. But I am admittedly not a fan of some of the prospects they might take after moving down. The NFL Draft remains an unpredictable event. We do our best to study the prospects, but we can never be totally certain in our assessments. Like everybody else, some prospects I have liked in the past have been total busts while some I have disliked turned out great. On yesterday's podcast I offered some things about the top prospects that worried me. On today's show we flip things around. I by Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

Locked on Jets 4/8/19 Episode 607: Potential Draft Winners: The 2019 NFL Draft is fast approaching. In just a few weeks, the Jets will be on the clock with the third overall pick (or a different pick in the event there is a trade). At the end of each year's Draft, there are always articles about winners and losers. Some of those articles provide immediate analysis about which teams did the best and the worst. Other articles discuss winners and losers on a specific team. Which players saw their replacements drafted, and which didn't. I think there is another class of winners on a team, players whose jobs were made easier by a pick. On today's podcast we will discuss potential Draft winners for the Jets. If the team selects a player at a certain position these are the players who could ultimately benefit. Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets 4/1/19 Episode 602: Positional Talk: Today is the start of a new week and a new month. It is a big month at that. April is the month of the NFL Draft. We are a few weeks away from the Jets attempting to stock their roster with young talent. The team currently owns the third overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. The Jets lack a second round pick after their trade last year with the Colts to move up for Sam Darnold, but they own an extra third round pick due to last year's Teddy Bridgewater trade. On today's podcast we discuss the NFL Draft. Namely we talk about the role a given player's position should play into a team's decision-making. I think people frequently only advocate for their team picking players at weak spots, but I argue that more should go into it than that. I talk about three other aspects that I believe should matter, breaking a tie between two prospects, looking at the strength of a class, and building matchup problems for opponents.

Locked on Jets 4/24/19 Episode 619: Pre-Draft Mailbag: The 2019 NFL Draft is now just one day away from getting started. Tomorrow night we find out what the Jets will do with the third overall pick after months of speculation. To celebrate the arrival of the Draft, today we have a podcast mailbag. Thanks to everybody who submitted questions for this week's mailbag. The mailbag show would not work without you. Today we look at whether the Draft really needs to be three days long, whether the Chiefs overpaid in the Frank Clark trade, how important past starting experience is for quarterback prospects, whether the Jets will have a focus on the offensive line in this year's NFL Draft, how concerned fans should be about the team's passing defense, whether Ziggy Ansah should be a Jets target, and whether the team should package Robby Anderson with a third round pick to get back into the second round.

Locked on Jets 4/19/18 Episode 616: Draft Pick Considerations: It is finally almost here. The 2019 NFL Draft starts in six days. Whether the Jets keep the third pick or trade down, the team's eventual pick will likely be viewed as either filling a need or the best player available (ideally both). This is how these picks tend to be evaluated. For a long time I have felt like this thinking was too simplistic. I think there are considerations that go beyond these two concepts. In addition, I think there are complex elements that go into what constitutes the best player available and a team's most pressing need. Are we talking about the best player today, or the guy who will grow into the best player eventually? Are we talking about the position that is a need because it has the lowest quality players, or a cornerstone position lacking impact talent? These are some of the considerations teams have to make before turning in their cards. On today's podcast I offer my thoughts on what teams s by Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

Locked on Jets 4/2/19 Episode 603: Draft Conversions: We continue to move closer to the start of the 2019 NFL Draft. We are now just over three weeks away from the event kicking off. The Jets currently own the third overall pick, although a trade down to acquire more selections is not out of the question. On today's podcast I continue my series of general thoughts about Draft prospects and the positions they play. Today my main focus is on conversion prospects. Every year I hear people criticize the idea of changing the position of a prospect. Are these criticisms fair? My answer is...it depends. Sometimes asking a prospect to change positions is a major reach. Other times it really isn't asking a prospect to do things very differently from how he played in college. And sometimes position labels are simply misnomers because of the differences in defensive systems. Learn more about your ad choices.

He is one of the sharpest minds out there when it comes to the Draft and the Jets.

The Jets made a small addition on Thursday by adding Ty Montgomery. The former Packers and Ravens running back will serve as Le'Veon Bell's backup. I will tell you why I think he is a solid fit on today's podcast. The main focus remains the Draft, though. Joining us is Tony Pauline, who runs the Draft Analyst website. ;'Tony has been covering the NFL Draft for a long time.

This year's event might not have the same degree of anticipation as last year's Draft since the Jets will not be selecting a quarterback in the first round, but it remains an opportunity for the team to add to its young base of talent. To celebrate the two week mark from the Draft, we will have a podcast mailbag today. Thanks to everybody who submitted questions. We couldn't do it without you. Feel free to resend unanswered questions next week. Today we look at what an ideal trade back could look like for the Jets, the potential for selecting a wide receiver prospect in the third round, whether head coaches are now nothing more than glorified coordinators, whether anybody will be interested in trading up for one of the top defensive players in the class, whether it is a good idea to trade up into the second round, and the Quinnen Williams vs. Josh Allen debate.

Locked on Jets 4/6/18 Episode 386: Turning the 2016 Draft Class Around: It takes three years at a bare minimum to fully evaluate an NFL Draft class, but preliminary evaluations begin the second the players hit the field as rookies. The Jets' class of 2016 now has two seasons of NFL experience under its belt. I think by any measure it would have to be considered a disappointing class so far. Despite a solid day two pick and an undrafted free agent homerun, this class has not provided the quality, the depth, or the impact needed to help accelerate the rebuild. But time remains to turn things around. Again, two years is not enough time to give a class a final grade. The players the Jets selected can still improve. That is the focus of today's podcast. What is the ceiling each player has? How much can they improve? Do the disappointing players have the ability to be quality starters, or is a depth piece the best the Jets can hope to get?

NFLPA Approves New Collective Bargaining Agreement Episode 825 3/16/20: At this point the NFL continues to plan to start the legal tampering period and the official beginning of the new league year on time. The legal tampering period is scheduled to being at noon Eastern today while the start of the league year is scheduled for Wednesday. Over the weekend the NFL Players Association voted to accept a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. This agreement sets the rules of the league through the year 2030. There will be no strike or lockout. The new CBA has a number of major changes for the NFL. We will discuss those changes on today's podcast. The number of regular season games each year is increasing. The number of Playoff teams is as well. So are the size of each roster, practice squad, and active players on game day. The number of preseason games is going down. Each of these will change how the NFL functions in the years to come, and we will discuss these changes.

Locked on Jets 12/14/17 Episode 309: Evaluation Mode: Last Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos dropped the Jets to 5-8 and likely ended any postseason hopes the team might have. While the Jets remain mathematically alive, the odds of making the Playoffs are remote. The team will still play hard and try to win, but the focus of the final three weeks is now about focusing on 2018 and beyond. On today's podcast we take a look at some of the key players to evaluate over the last three games of the season. Which players are finally getting a chance to show what they can do? Which players need a strong finish to earn a new contract? Which rookies can put themselves into a discussion for bigger roles next season?

Locked on Jets 5/1/19 Episode 624: Taking Stock of the Offense After the Draft: With the NFL Draft over, we now know what the Jets' roster will look like in 2019. There were still be some under the radar signings to fill out the preseason roster. There might even be a late trade or signing of a surprise cut from another team. But we are past the point where the team can reasonably expect to bring in a new player of significance. The team we see today is probably going to be the team we see on the field Sundays this autumn. On today's podcast we take stock of what the Jets have on the offensive side of the football. This is something we do periodically over the course of the offseason. Now that the offseason is complete, we can take one final look at areas of strength and weakness.

Locked on Jets 4/30/19 Episode 623: What Has Changed?: This is the time of year where NFL fans are assessing their team's Draft class. What do these new players mean for each team in the league? The Jets added a class of six players. The team addressed the defensive line in the first round. Edge rusher and tackle were the third round picks. A tight end was added in the fourth round. A linebacker was selected in the fifth round, and a cornerback was the pick in round number six. On today's podcast we look at what changes the Draft will bring for the Jets. We will discuss four in particular. These changes come in all sizes, large and small. Some changes will be immediate while others will be longer term deals. We will discuss the pass rush, special teams, run blocking, and the future of the offensive line. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jets Offensive Tiers Episode 806 2/18/20: I hope everybody had a good three day weekend (if it was three days) and enjoyed our series of shows last week on the AFC East with Mike of Locked on Patriots and Joe of Locked on Bills. We are back to our normal format today focusing exclusively on the Jets. Today's show is about ranking the offensive players on the Jets. Through the years I have seen numerous methods for ranking players. One that I think is really useful heading into the offseason places each player into one of four tiers. The top tier has elite players. The second tier has players who are either quality starters or young players who have the potential to grow into a quality starter (or star). The third tier has players who are nothing special but a step above practice squad quality. The fourth tier has players who might not belong in the NFL. Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets 1/10/17 Episode 326: The Importance of Self-Scouting: The Jets in the midst of formulating their offseason plan. There is still plenty of time before the offseason begins in earnest. Eight teams are still playing games this season, and three rounds of the postseason remain. Still, this is the time the Jets and other teams out of the mix are using to think about how they will attack free agency. One important but often understated aspect of roster management is self-scouting. Yes, teams need to make smart signings and trades to import quality players from other teams. Yes, the Draft is king when it comes to procuring premium talent. Teams also need to understand what they have and don't have on their roster. I don't think that is an area where the Jets excelled last offseason, and there was one area where it was particularly clear, on the offensive line. That is the topic of today's podcast.
