True -- esp. the line. And I'm sick of hearing how defense is volatile, so you can't count on a top 5 defense for the third straight year. Defense is only volatile when compared to offense, which is highly dependant on QB play. Barring disastrous injuries, the Chiefs are going to have a highly productive offense, because Mahomes is there. Defense is a team sport, but I think we're upgrading in most places: Sauce is entering his third year, and I can't help but think of Revis' third year, where he 1 on 1'd the best receivers in the league and allowed none of them to gain over 40 yards. Kinlaw's a downgrade. Well, maybe -- every time we say goodbye to the small DI, we think we're losing something, and then along comes Rankins/Jefferson to pick up where the last guy left off. Safety's an upgrade from last year. Not saying a whole lot, but Chuck Clark > Whitehead, and Tony Adams was a rookie last year. The Williams brothers are due for a regression to the mean: that means better play from Quinnen, and not quite as blow your doors off play from Quincy. God I want to see this defense play with a lead.

Absolutely, maybe more. Just imagine playing with a lead🤷‍♂️🏈🏈🏈

@@alanfrable457 this defense is going to be fun to watch with leads

unless your on roids its very hard to put on 15 lbs of muscle in a year unless youre a beginner, but i get whatu saying tho

@@john-pp7ws not all is muscle weight I’m sure there’s a little fat there but NFL teams can bulk up guys without Juice I mean it’s not 40lbs it’s about 12

Jets shouldn't be worried about other teams draft boards.

@@Harlemnite7 that makes no sense. If a team didn't care about anyone else's draft board, there would be no trades during the draft. Every team cares about what other teams think of the prospects they like and don't like.

@lightxgrenade They scout these players for years and still get it wrong. They have scouts, college coaches, film, background checks and face to face interviews.

@@Harlemnite7 That's not the point. The point is when you should select a player. I'm arguing that if the Jets wanted Will McDonald, they had to take him when they did because he was a lot higher on team's draft boards than most people think and he wouldn't have made it much farther down the draft. If you think a player is going to be great, you feel like your team really needs him, of course you care about where other teams rank him. The last thing you would want is a team trading in front of you for that player. If what other teams thought of a player didn't matter, no one would trade up in the draft, they would just hope the player they want fell to them.

Why didn't the Jets use Jermaine Johnson in year 1 as much as year 2? Same answer

@@MattOLearyNY as you say....

I think what happened was that draft was not great overall and in a normal draft he would’ve been a late 1st round pick because that’s where good pass rush specialists usually go so. The jets value pass rush so much they probably had him around 15 which makes sense given it was a bad draft. Mcdonald isn’t gonna be Von Miller or Nick Bosa but he can be a better version of Bryce huff which is fine.

@@ULuvBobs_92 It was a bad draft? I don't think Joe Tippman was a bad pick or Carter Warren in the 3rd either. As far as MD4 goes, it remains to be seen with him as he gets more playing time. I'm just saying, he was a 1st Round talent and another team would have taken him in the 1st, so he's a very good player, you have to be to be taken in the 1st Round.

@@BillySBC I meant the draft overall was light on first round talent, I remember a quote came out from a GM who said you usually have 20+ first round grades and that year they had 13 guys with first round grades. I think in a normal draft McDonald is a late first.

@@ULuvBobs_92 Virus Drafts will always have an asterisk.

@@BillySBC ya I mean 2021 is arguable the worst QB class of all time with 4 busts and 1 supposedly generational talent who’s just a good but not amazing starting QB.

lol that was sincere. The ‘?’ Was phat fingered

Sheesh are you related to the guy? Lol. I hope he’s the best player ever but I don’t think it’s unfair to be skeptical about him in the run game

Lmaoo buddy I remember you chiming in with your pro lazard and Cook takes last year. You can be a delusional Homer but don't get butt hurt for people who live in reality. Id sit it out if I said cook was a good signing. Be humble

@@user-bs8ks1uz6g I hated the Dalvin Cook signing but go off, King

@@user-bs8ks1uz6g I was NEVER pro Cook...

@@MattOLearyNY Not at all, Matt... You just never made a legit argument as to why WMD won't be good against the run. Especially when you consider he's been good against the run !!

Reddick will come around. We'll have both putting QB's on the mat this year.

@@BillySBC I really hope you are right.

Jets need all ballers on board for SB run.🏆

Lol what? There are 3 to 4 edge rushers who get "starting" playing time on this defense. Yeah let Reddick hold out and have Clemons and a UDFA combine for 800 snaps great plan

@@user-bs8ks1uz6g Reddick isn't going to hold out, he's doing what his manager is telling him to do right now, but he's gonna play obviously.
