Locked on Jets 5/6/19 Episode 627: Which Free Agents Still Could Help the Jets?

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. We will talk about both the starters and the depth at position groups along the offense. Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets 5/7/19 Episode 628: Looking Ahead to Position Battles: With the Draft over and rosters mostly set, we can look forward to the 2019 NFL season. The Jets have made a number of big changes through free agency and the NFL Draft. Most of the important positions on this roster are already settled. While last year's training camp featured a wide open battle for the most important role, starting quarterback, this year's camp battles will be much lower profile. There still are unsettled roles on the roster that will be sorted out. On today's podcast we look ahead to these training camp battles and explore which jobs are up for grabs. The center position will likely be one of them, even though the options are less than inspiring. There also figures to be some competition at backup quarterback and a battle for the second tight end spot. On the defensive side of the ball, playing time at the premium positions of cornerback and edge rusher is up for grabs. There are a lot of players by Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

Locked on Jets 5/8/18 Episode 407: Most Improved Positions on the Roster: The period in which the Jets could improve their roster in 2018 is just about over. There are always a handful of moves that take place between now and the season. There are still a few decent free agents who have yet to catch on with a new team. There are a couple of players who will be late cuts due to contract disputes or other issues. Some useful players might get released at the end of training camp. For the most part, though, each team has all of its major contributors for 2018 on the roster at this point. The most frequent periods where NFL teams upgrade their rosters are in the early days of free agency and the NFL Draft. With that in mind, our podcast today focuses on upgrades the Jets made during the offseason. In particular, I take a look at the four positions I think were the most improved in free agency and the Draft. Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets 5/28/19 Episode 642: The Top Five Jets on Rookie Contracts: I hope everybody had a good weekend. We are back today with another top five offseason Tuesday podcast. Today we are taking a look at the young talent on the roster. The NFL is a league where it is essential to draft and develop young talent. Super Bowl teams are built on homegrown impact players. The Jets' recent lack of success goes back to the team's poor drafting. There is a bit of light on the horizon. Years of being near the bottom of the league has provided the team with a number of top ten picks who can form the foundation of a turnaround. Today we are looking at the top five players on the Jets on rookie contracts who will help the team rise over the next few years. Rookie contracts are a bit tricky to judge. Leonard Williams is entering his fifth year and still technically on his rookie deal, while Robby Anderson, entering his fourth year, is not and is thus ineligible for the list.

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.

Looking at Remaining Free Agents Episode 871 5/19/20: While NFL rosters are now mostly set for the 2020 season, there remain a handful of big name free agents still available. Many of these players will sign with a new team between now and the start of the season. A few of them will make a significant contribution to their team. There have been rumors about the Jets being interested in many of these players. On today's podcast we will discuss how many of them would be good fits for the Jets. In particular we will talk about Jadeveon Clowney, Logan Ryan, Larry Warford, Jason Peters, and Joe Flacco. It is unclear how much interest the Jets have in any of these players. For some of these players, it likely would depend on the price dropping. In some cases the Jets might have no interest. On today's show the focus is on how much these players would improve the team and what kind of salary would make sense. Learn more about your ad choices.

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

Reactions to Avoid in the NFL Draft Episode 847 4/15/20: The scheduled start of the 2020 NFL Draft is just over a week away. The Jets and the rest of the league will look to add young talent to their rosters. In the aftermath of the NFL Draft there is frequently overreaction. I should know. I have frequently overreacted in the past. All of us have ideas about what our teams should do. All of us have prospects we like and prospects we dislike. If your team follows your preferred course, you are likely to declare it a great Draft. If your team doesn't, you might express disappointment. Immediate Draft reactions both positive and negative frequently prove to be incorrect over the long haul, though. Even the most brilliant minds in the history of the game have made Draft errors. On today's podcast I give thoughts on things you can do to help prevent these overreactions. There are certain things worth ignoring during and immediately after the NFL Draft.

Locked on Jets 6/20/19 Episode 657: Top Five Things to Watch Before Training Camp: We are in the quietest part of the NFL calendar. This is the only six week stretch of the year where nothing is going on. At other points of the year we have training camp, preseason, games, the Draft, free agency, or the offseason program to discuss. Right now we have none of those things. There is not much going on. There are a few things on the horizon to watch. On today's podcast we discuss the top five developments to monitor between now and training camp for the Jets. There might not be much daily excitement, but there still will be a few developments worth watching. On the show we discuss potential action on the waiver wire, a possible informal workout Sam Darnold could be putting together, getting the team's top pick signed before training camp, the staffing up of the front office, and a possible significant addition through either free agency or a trade.

Locked on Jets 1/29/17 Episode 338: Drafting for Need: It is a busy time of the year for football. In unserious football developments, the Pro Bowl took place over the weekend, and the XFL did not fold. In more serious news, we turn the page to Super Bowl week as the Patriots and Eagles will meet with the Lombardi Trophy on the line. The Senior Bowl also took place over the weekend as the top prospects competed in Mobile, Alabama. Some argue the practices in the leadup to the game are just as if not more important than the game itself for evaluation purposes. This seems like a good time to talk about the Draft. On today's podcast we look at the Draft. Rather than discuss individual prospects, today we talk about philosophies for picking players. It seems this time of year many members of the media and fans have one piece of criteria for a good Draft pick, whether a player plays a position where the team is currently weak. Today we talk about some of the reasons this viewpoint can be pr by Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

Locked on Jets 2/12/19 Episode 569: Looking at Offensive Free Agents: We are on the way to free agency. The Jets cannot start using their cap space to sign free agents from other teams until the new league year begins. Before that, they can address internal matters. The team has a striking number of free agents this year. One of the reasons the Jets are projected to have so much cap space is they have so few players under contract for 2019. A team coming off a 4-12 season needs a major makeover, Many free agents should not return as the Jets should be in the market for upgrades. There might be logic in retaining a few free agents, however, if the price is right. On today's podcast we assess Jets free agents on the offensive side of the football and figure out what the interest level in keeping each of these players should be.

Locked on Jets 3/26/19 Episode 598: Taking Stock on Offense: The focus of the league is now on the owners meetings taking place this week as potential changes are discussed and receive votes. The focus of the Jets is was on a couple of minor signings Monday. The team brought back Brandon Copeland and Neal Sterling. But the long-term focus is currently on gearing up for the NFL Draft, which is just around the corner in a few weeks. Part of preparing for the Draft is taking an inventory of what your team has and what your team needs. On today's podcast we do just that. We take stock of the offense leading up to the 2019 NFL Draft. At what spots should the Jets feel good? At which spots should they feel like they can get by? And at what spots should the team feel concerned? We discuss both starters and backups on the show. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jets Rookie Review Episode 778 1/8/20: On today's podcast we take a look back at the Jets rookie class and how they performed in 2019. I must start out with a huge caveat. Expectations should always be low for rookies, and criticisms should always be tempered. Few actually produce in year one in the NFL. If you looked at a list of players, you would likely be surprised to see how rare it is for a first year player to be a major positive contributor. With that in mind, we look back at the six players the Jets drafted and one key undrafted free agent. We look back on their seasons and address the successes, failures, and surprises. We also discuss expectations for year two. How much should the Jets be counting on these players to grow in 2020? Learn more about your ad choices.

Jets Defensive Tiers Episode 807 2/19/20: Yesterday on our show we placed Jets offensive players under contract into one of four tiers. The top tier is for elite talent. The second tier is for above average players or young players with the potential to get there one day. The third tier is for functional players or young players with the potential to get there. The fourth tier is for players who are lucky to have a spot on an NFL roster. Today we turn our attention to the defensive side of the ball. Things were not pretty on offense. There aren't many building blocks under contract for the Jets. The view is brighter on the defensive side of the ball. The defense was the stronger of the two units for the Jets in 2019. While weaknesses exist at some of the key spots, there is at least a base of talent to work with. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jets Positional Draft Thoughts Episode 845 4/13/20: The 2020 NFL Draft is almost here. The annual event is scheduled for late next week. The Jets currently own the eleventh overall selection, a second round pick, and a pair of third rounders (in addition to their day three picks). There are many goals for the NFL Draft. The most important of these goals is to add desperately-needed young talent to the roster to finally move forward a seemingly perennial rebuild. Another goal which is not totally separate has to be improving critical positions of need. That is the topic of today's podcast. On the show I give some thoughts on how I think the Jets should approach the 2020 Draft from a positional standpoint. Some positions are more important than others in the NFL. Some positions have a deeper class than others in 2020. Some positions are in worse shape than others for the Jets. Some positions are important for long-term investment. I offer thoughts on all of this and more on today's show. by Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

Locked on Jets 5/15/18 Episode 412: The Reliables: On yesterday's podcast we discussed some of the wild cards on the Jets roster as we prepare for the 2018 season. It isn't clear how much value those players will provide. It could be a lot. It could be a little. Today we look at the sure things on the roster. That shouldn't be taken to mean any of these players is a 100% bet to be productive. Such a player does not exist in the NFL. Injuries, decline, or just a bad season can happen to anybody who suits up. The odds to seem in favor of these guys producing and being productive. Their skillsets and track records suggest just that. These players are not necessarily superstars. We will not necessarily see them carry the Jets on their backs. In many cases, they are role players whom we can count on to do their jobs effectively, even if it comes without much fanfare. 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.
