Your 2024 Jets draft prediction

[T0mShane]

Six days out, lots of speculation. What do you think they do?

[SickJetFan]

they should trade up but JD will hold out to get the best deal taking himself out of the possibility, they stay at 10 and pick the FB

[derp]

At least half the fanbase is going to be furious.

The Jets end this draft with less 2025 capital than they have today. Probably a trade up in the first two days.

[Bobby816]

My bet is we go OL at 10. Which I feel Bowers will be there and that’s who I’ll want.

I don’t not want OL. So I won’t dislike the pick either.

[Wit]

Trade down and go O line or receiver depending on what happens. They will stay put if the three big receivers or Alt is there.

[PS17]

Don’t want him but so much smoke around Bowers. I think he’s the pick. 

[RedBeardedSavage]

The top 3 receivers go earlier than expected.

JD tries to move down but doesn’t love his options. 

We end up with Troy Fautanu @ 10. 

[Greenseed4]

Nabers becomes the last of the top-3 WRs standing, and JD pulls the trigger to move up. 

[slats]

No WR at #10 choice? 
 
I’m torn on this one. Joe Douglas has had some success trading up, including twice in his signature draft. But also, I know he listens to the analytics which say trading back is the only way to go - especially for future picks. But he might be drafting for his job here, and feel the need to hit big. Fans of Brock Thorpe think he’d be that guy, but I think only one of the big WRs might be able to make that kind of an impact as a rookie. End of the day, it’s very hard for me to see the value conscious JD draft an H-back at #10. And trading up just to #8 could cost both fourth rounders - and that’s some Tannenbaum bull**** right there. 
 
So I’m gonna go with “other,” thinking he gets his WR at 10 (a tossup, imho). If the WR isn’t there, then I think he’ll have a couple conversations in place about moving back and adding picks like a proper nerd. If he can’t trade back, then OT. 

[freestater]

Bowers at 10. Not my favorite outcome but I'm already preparing my body. 

[slimjasi]

If Odunze is there, he’ll be the pick
 

otherwise, I think it’s Bowers

a trade up for a WR is also possible, but I suspect teams like Tenn or Atlanta will want the jets to overpay to move down 

[Barry McCockinner]

Trade up to 5 for MHJ after the Vikings trade up to 4 to take my cousin McCarthy.

That’s what I want to happen, but my gut tells me otherwise. Bowers is the pick at 10.

[32EBoozer]

Voted “Other” staying put and selecting a WR like Thomas Jr earlier than projected is a possibility. Similar to McDonald.

Trade down.  Draft OL in the 1st.  Trade up after to get a WR in the 2nd round (or early 3rd).

[Larz]

I voted trade down mostly because a double dip of oline/WR would be more effective if they picked well before 72 and the oline class is deep enough 

the risk of course is a run on the OTs. Getting a guard at 15 or whatever ruins it

Truth 

The draft is not about who we want. It's about Aaron Rodgers and that dude wants his fellow nocal bro from Napa 

 

[Jetkwondo]

I want it to be a straight up Malik Nabors pick, like these 2 soda swilling dorks,  Brandon and Dillon, projected LOL...don't watch it, they're bad as they didn't even know Breece Halls name... say Bowers falls to 18 LOL ...  just fits my perfect draft wish!

According to this logic, Aaron Rodgers wanted Will McDonald last year

They’re gonna have to rewrite all the old comic books to make Flash Gordon an H-back, instead. 

[section314]

Three scenarios , in order of preference.

1). Odunze still there, take him.

2) one of top 4 QB’s still there as is Bowers and all but one OT. Teams will call to get in front of Minn and Denver. Calls will come for Bowers and OT, or possibly the top rated CB which should be there. Best shot to move down, if comp.is acceptable.

3) 1&2 not happening, take OT highest on your board.

I think best odds are #2, so I voted trade down.

Bowers is above these slurs

That deal didn't close until April 25 

 

[Creepy Lurker]

I predict Bowers but absolutely do not want that pick at 10.

[Augustiniak]

Win scenario - top 3 wr - unlikely

Safe pick who helps for 10+ yrs - fuaga

the ‘i need instant kudos from the nfl community’ pick - bowers

Best for the jets long term - trade back

Verdict:  Fuaga.  If douglas can fix one major criticism it’s the OL and he can do this simply by taking one guy.

Or it could cost us #72.  We already don't have a 2nd rounder, and giving up our only 3rd rounder makes no sense to me. And I could see the Jets giving up next years 3rd round pick, but I would hate that, at least for me.

That would seal our 2024 Talking Heads Offseason Championship for the 5th year running!!

And i wonder if they would deliberately scheme to make sure he hits the ground running opening day.  Risky pick for jd though.

If any of the three WRs are there, that would be amazing.

But they may be able to get Fuaga with a trade back. 

My bold prediction is that Atlanta takes Byron Murphy instead of an edge at 8.  The Jets trade with the Saints, so the Saints can pick up the 2nd edge (Chicago takes Turner at 9) before the Broncos at 12.  Jets take Fuaga at 14, while also picking up the Saints 2nd rounder and sending back a fourth round pick.

[Adoni Beast]

I voted trade up. It’s win now and I think the rush on QBs will break the board in an opportunistic way and we will trade up for Nabers.

I think I’m more or less trying to speak this into existence.

Logic isn’t at work here.  
 

[Jet Nut]

I think there’s a chance one of the WRs are there.  4 QBs, a EDGE to Atl, couple of OL and there’s a chance, especially if the Bears to D.  

[JustInFudge]

My sources say the Jets have Bowers on the top of their big board.
