The gut reactions: Week 1: Sept. 11 vs. Ravens, 1 p.m., CBS - Not happening Week 2: Sept. 18 at Browns, 1 p.m., CBS - Maybe Week 3: Sept. 25 vs. Bengals, 1 p.m., CBS - Only if Mike White Starts Week 4: Oct. 2 at Steelers, 1 p.m., CBS - Probably not, but could be Week 5: Oct. 9 vs. Dolphins, 1 p.m., CBS - Hopefully Week 6: Oct. 16 at Packers, 1 p.m., FOX - No chance Week 7: Oct. 23 at Broncos, 4:05 p.m., CBS - Nope Week 8: Oct. 30 vs. Patriots, 1 p.m., CBS - Certainly hope so Week 9: Nov. 6 vs. Bills, 1 p.m., CBS - Very doubtful Week 10: Bye - They definitely won't lose! Week 11: Nov. 20 At Patriots, 1 p.m., CBS - Meh Week 12: Nov. 27 vs. Bears, 1 p.m., FOX - Should Week 13: Dec. 4 at Vikings, 1 p.m., CBS - Probably not Week 14: Dec. 11 at Bills, 1 p.m., CBS - Not happening Week 15: Dec. 18 vs. Lions, 1 p.m., FOX - They friggin better Week 16: Dec. 22 vs. Jaguars, 8:15 p.m., Prime Video - Prime time baby! Which means while they easily should, probably won't as everyone watches Week 17: Jan. 1 at Seahawks, 4:05 p.m., FOX - Hopefully Week 18: Jan. 7/8 at Dolphins, TBD, TBD - Will either team even care? It's the Jets, so they'll definitely lose a couple where they're favorites, especially if it seems to have suddenly "clicked" but then steal a couple out of complete left field to balance it out, so if this draft class is anywhere close to the hype machine levels and Wilson stops being quite so Wilson about it, should be looking at around .500.

Credit where it's due to JD, he's certainly been much more cost effective at the Jets' sucking.

In the end, it's still dependent on dramatic improvement from Wilson to not be the worst in the division. If the light suddenly turns on for him, then that could change.

What? He totally is! Rumor has it Wilson will then be taking 13 and JJ 73.

I've got nothing to complain about from yesterday, but the rapid mood swings that go on around here are pretty hysterical. This team has been an utter sh*t-show for years now, right up until the very end of this past season. We should all know by now that no matter how good an offseason may look on paper, it doesn't really mean much until it shows something on the field. Every one of us have players we fawned over on draft day that turned out to be massive busts. Don't get me wrong, it's always much more enjoyable to have an offseason worth getting optimistic about, but the concept of JD suddenly getting thrown up onto a pedestal is pretty comical. We all know if this team comes out of the gate looking like crap once again, a great many will be calling for his head by October, and if it doesn't turn around dramatically from there, he'll be packing up his bags next January. I'm certainly not rooting for any of that, but it's as real of a possibility as anything right now. I'll be convinced otherwise when the team actually starts to finally break the trend of continual awfulness on the field for over a decade. His career will still very likely live or die based upon Zach Wilson.

I mean, yeah, but where are the LBs?!?

Of course you always have to see how the players actually turn out and, despite not being super excited by the first pick (with absolutely nothing against Sauce), it's really tough to be unhappy about how tonight has turned out, unless you just really, really want to be.

Well damn

You use the dreaded "P" word too many times and the poor, innocent kid will be cursed to a career of mediocrity on IR.

Ok, I'm on board with this one.

Does that at least also come with half as many holdouts and fake injuries?

Exactly what I expected, but to me a bit... meh. Nothing against Sauce at all, but just more of the same with the Jets seeming to have little concept of how they're supposedly even building their team, as they often just kind of blow with the wind.

Oh ye of little faith. When the Jets set their mind to it, they can easily achieve that goal.

I'm definitely ready to completely despise, or be overly giddy about, the Jets' picks. There is never any option in between.
