Jets 2018 Season Discussion Thread (Next: Week 1 @ Detroit Lions)
Posted: Sun Dec 31, 2017 7:00 pm
Alright guys, we're through another terrible year, Bowles and Mac have extensions for the next three years, and it's still a rebuild somehow despite starting a 38 year-old QB all season.
Draft results:
Round 1: 3rd overall pick - Sam Darnold, QB from USC
Round 3: 72nd overall pick - Nathan Shepherd, DT from Fort Hays State
Round 4: 107th overall pick - Chris Herndon, TE from Miami
Round 6: 179th overall pick - Parry Nickerson, CB from Tulane
Round 6: 180th overall pick - Folorunso Fatukasi, DL from Conneticut
Round 6: 204th overall pick - Trenton Cannon, RB/R from Virginia State
Key Free Agents:
Josh McCown, QB (re-signed to a 1-Year, $10M deal with NYJ)
Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE (signed with JAX)
Wesley Johnson, C (signed with DET)
Demario Davis, ILB (signed with New Orleans)
Morris Claiborne, CB (re-signed with NYJ)
Kony Ealy, DE (signed with DAL)
Chandler Catanzaro, K (signed with Tampa Bay)
2018 Regular Season Schedule
Now that Woody Johnson is no longer overseeing the team due to his White House obligations, we have brother Chris in charge, who hadn't really been as much of a presence. I'm curious as to the moves Mac will make, and even though we haven't seen a ton of success in the last two years, I still think he's done a good job in going for it while not compromising the future. We traded picks only in the 5th round or later his entire tenure here, we got an extra second rounder this year and Kearse for Sheldon who's been underwhelming in Seattle, and a year after the debacle with Geno and the terrible locker-room chemistry, we've gotten rid of all the low-character guys and actually have a decent locker room foundation right now.
Our receiving corps is in better condition than it was a season ago, and Robby's been a bright spot this year along with ASJ.
Hopeful expectation: draft a promising QB, let the offense develop and have the defense continue to do what it does.
Realistic, I-Know-Because-I'm-A-Jets-Fan outcome: We sign Kirk Cousins to big money only to go 8-8 next year.
