Terms apply. This is what the New

1:19

York Jets need to do the 2024 NFL Draft, Ryan

1:21

Rolison and Lije Dussebo from With the First Pick here

1:23

to give you the ultimate mock draft for the team

1:25

that picks first overall. All

1:27

right, Eric. Let's jump into the

1:30

Pro Football Network mock draft simulator. And

1:33

here at 10, Sanks traded

1:35

up to 9 to get the offensive

1:37

lineman, Ola Fashinou, Lije,

1:39

and you are doing this, I should note, from the

1:41

Jets facility. So if you don't get this one right,

1:43

I ain't gonna let you back in. And

1:46

number 10, let me set the stage here. So the

1:48

Jets were actually incredibly active in free agency trying to

1:50

fix the offensive line. They have a history of trying

1:52

to fix the offensive line with varying

1:54

levels of success. Mackay Becton suffered injuries.

1:56

Elijah John

2:00

Simpson and Tyron Smith, Tyron Smith and I

2:04

think Moria might be on one year deals. Morgan's 33.

2:07

They are. So they're

2:09

short term solutions. Do you want to go wide receiver? Do

2:11

you want to go offensive line? What do you think it

2:13

here at 10? Quarterback? Is

2:15

JJ McCarthy somehow sitting there? Man,

2:18

if the board falls like this, the Jets are probably

2:20

kicking themselves because this is probably

2:22

the absolute worst scenario for

2:25

the New York Jets, right? All top three receivers

2:27

are gone. The two top tackles are gone. We

2:30

do have Talise for Walker there who has some

2:32

position flexibility to slide inside. But

2:34

to your point, right, they got their two

2:36

starting tackles, one via trade, one

2:39

via free agency and Tyron Smith. They

2:41

got two good backups or decent backups when you

2:43

talk about two fourth round picks and

2:46

Carter Warren and also Max Mitchell that it took a

2:48

few years ago. So you're in the 10 spot. Yeah,

2:52

exactly. So when you look at this

2:54

spot at 10, Ryan, you look at what's actually available.

2:56

I know we're not going to do this, but this would

2:59

be the perfect scenario for the just to trade back, right?

3:01

And gain some draft capital because if

3:03

the Saints were to trade up to

3:05

get fast new right here at number

3:07

nine, which actually is a reality because

3:10

they need a tackle like in the worst

3:12

way with Ryan Ramchak potentially not

3:14

playing this year because of injury and then

3:16

Trevor Penning really struggling. I could

3:18

see the Saints actually doing this, the moving up to

3:20

make sure they get one of the top two tackles

3:23

in this draft class. But if the board fell like

3:25

this and we can't trade, I think the

3:27

pick has to be. And Ryan, let me say quickly before you

3:29

give the pick, 11, 12 and

3:31

13, Minnesota, Denver and Las

3:33

Vegas will all give you opportunities to trade down

3:35

with JK. They will, for sure. But we're not

3:37

going to trade downs, but those will be opportunities

3:39

to keep an eye on even if

3:41

a team like the Saints leapfrog the Jets, get off of

3:44

the tackle. The Vikings would

3:46

be over the moon if

3:48

they could just swap one pick instead of having to go up to

3:50

four or five. This

3:52

could be a good situation for the Jets to

3:54

your larger point. But if we're staying put here

3:57

for our conversations here, what are you going to have to do?

4:00

Yeah, so people would say turn the card

4:02

in for Brock Bowers. To me, I love

4:04

the Jets tight in, not caveat, I love

4:07

the Jets tight in room. Right, I

4:09

think positional value, that's way too much

4:11

for a tight end at the number

4:13

10 spot. To me, the

4:15

most logical pick here would be Talith

4:17

Fowaga from Oregon State. Joe Douglas has

4:19

an affinity for this guy. He has

4:21

the versatility to play inside, outside. The

4:23

only question mark is, is this

4:26

essentially going to be a redshirt year for him? Because not

4:28

only did they answer the question for agency via

4:30

the tackle position, they didn't so it

4:32

guard as well by bringing in John Simpson as

4:34

well. And then they got Elijah Vera Tucker solidified

4:37

as the other starting guard. So this is a

4:39

situation where this will be more of a developmental

4:41

pick for them because even though he's a player

4:43

that can help out right now, if

4:46

everybody stays healthy, he's probably not going to

4:48

crack the starting lineup. So, but

4:50

you have to look at the injury history to

4:53

Morgan Moses, I believe, is 33 coming off a

4:55

torn pec. You got to look at Tyron Smith.

4:57

He hasn't been able to play

4:59

a complete season, I want to say in five

5:01

seasons. So you have to look at that and

5:03

say Talith Fowaga is probably going to spot start

5:05

at least five, maybe six games. I think the

5:07

pick would be Talith Fowaga if the board stay

5:09

like this and the jets don't trade back. And

5:12

you mentioned Joe

5:14

Douglas, his affinity for Talith Fowaga when we

5:16

were at the Senior Bowl. We did the

5:18

podcast up to day one of practice. And

5:20

there was already mumblings that Joe Douglas was

5:22

big on Fowaga. And nothing's changed

5:24

my mind about how good he is as a

5:26

player. And this is not too high for me

5:28

in my mind for Fowaga to come off the

5:30

board. It's kind of funny, it feels like last

5:32

year and you tell me what you think. But

5:34

remember the Steelers leapfrog the Jets and got Broderick

5:36

Jones. I don't want to say the Jets settle

5:38

for Will McDonald the fourth, but they didn't necessarily

5:40

needed Edge rusher. They would probably love that Broderick

5:43

Jones there. So this feels similar to that and

5:45

that some of the favorites are off the board.

5:47

They're not settling for Fowaga. He's a

5:49

good player, but you wonder if they'd rather have Fosh

5:51

knew or alt. Yeah, for sure.

5:54

All right, as we look at this next pick, Ry,

5:56

funny thing is Braden Ficks probably

5:58

most likely will not be there. long, long

6:00

gone. Yeah,

6:03

I would have made me even take him.

6:05

But looking at how the board fell, go

6:08

to defense real quick for me, Harry. OK,

6:12

so this is where it gets interesting for

6:14

your boy. Because you know

6:16

I love Cole Bishop. I've already mocked him

6:18

going to the Jets in a couple of

6:20

different mock drives in the third round. And

6:23

Jet Nation will probably be mad about that. But

6:26

if you look at this Jets defense, which the

6:28

team is led by its defense, let's not get

6:30

it twisted to championship type defense, who's

6:32

the third safety right now on the roster? When

6:35

you look at this team, Ashton Davis is a

6:37

free agent. Whitehead left in free agency going back

6:39

to Tampa. Clark is coming off

6:41

a major knee injury. You

6:43

pair him with Tony Adams. Cole Bishop makes too

6:45

much sense. But go back to offense, Harry. And

6:47

let me tell you why this is hard for

6:50

me. Keep

6:52

going up. Right there, number 74

6:54

overall. I don't even

6:56

know if he makes it there. But if he

6:58

does, in the draft fall, throw

7:01

this card up there for Ricky Pearsall. Yeah,

7:04

you know what? That's why

7:06

receiver class is deep. But it's a different kind

7:08

of deep once you start getting into day three.

7:10

Whereas the safety class, you can find some guys

7:13

who can help you out either closer to line

7:15

of scrimmage or deep center field. But Cole Bishop

7:17

is a guy that our buddy Rick Spielman's high

7:19

on, you're high on. Our other buddy Pete Prisco

7:21

likes Cionni Vaki a little better in terms of

7:23

just being a football player. But Ricky

7:25

Pearsall, look, what did Garrett Wilson say in the last

7:27

year? Something's got to change. Something's got

7:29

to change. So if the board falls like that,

7:31

you don't get one of the top three receivers.

7:33

Ricky Pearsall falls to you. I know

7:36

there's a major need of safety, but I

7:38

think you've got to take Ricky Pearsall there.

7:41

And Garrett Wilson, another playmaker. And now pick

7:43

111 right here, Adrian Taylor-Dimmerson, as Harry is

7:45

noting out of Texas Tech. I like his

7:47

game a lot. I don't

7:49

hit the level. I don't think he'll be there in the form. But

7:51

if he is, I think that's the thing. I think it'll be close.

7:54

I think he could go late day two.

7:56

I think it'll be close. Hit the Safety button, Harry, just

7:58

to see what we've got kicking here. Mustafa

8:00

to wake up not as high on Tychee Smith.

8:03

Rick Spillen was talking about him. Or spot

8:06

dime linebacker. I don't know if he's a

8:08

traditional safety. And he may slip into day

8:10

two as well. Ooh, your guy's there though.

8:12

Your guy's there, Russ. Oladapo, I'd have always

8:14

been. He plays

8:16

the NED. Yeah. But

8:18

I'll let you hit the all button, Harry. Let's

8:21

see where Lije is at pick 111 here. So

8:25

go back to safety because I think that's what I'm addressing.

8:27

There's actually some good value there in the fourth round. Okay.

8:30

And the need for the Jets. When you

8:32

look at it, and Ryan, you actually explained it beautiful, right?

8:34

When you look at this draft, especially in the third, probably

8:36

in fourth round, there's guys that are going to be more

8:38

in box safety. There's going to be guys

8:40

that are going to be half field safeties. There's going to

8:42

be guys that maybe could do both. I think Dejurion could

8:44

do both. I

8:47

think he could be a middle field safety and he could be an

8:49

in the box guy. Malik Mustafa,

8:52

Oladapo are clearly in box safeties. Like

8:55

you don't want to put them in the middle field or half field safeties. Tykey

8:58

Smith to me is more of a

9:00

slot corner that can actually play dime

9:02

linebacker as well. I don't know

9:04

if I want him deep in the

9:06

middle of the post either. I'm going

9:08

to actually, because Dejurion has the flexibility to

9:10

play both, I'm going to go with him. Even

9:12

though Tony Adams is more your half field safety,

9:15

I think Dejurion could play in the box and you'll

9:18

be fine with that. Yeah. No,

9:20

I love it. I love it. All right. All

9:23

right. And let's see

9:25

here. Harry, if you hit the my picks on the left

9:27

side, let's see what the Jets have done so far. Just

9:30

so I can keep up with it. Tony, Ricky Pearsall and

9:32

then Taylor Demerson. Okay. So

9:34

two offense, one defense. As you mentioned, the defense

9:37

is leading the way. Jalen Wright

9:39

is still there. You don't need Jalen Wright,

9:41

but I had to mention that just because

9:43

Sweet Mercy. Well, I mean, I like what

9:45

they have in Breece Hall and then also

9:47

they took, you know, Izzy Abana

9:49

Kanda last year. It was a burner as

9:51

well. Yeah. So, I mean, you talk about

9:54

guys that can really fly. I think Jalen

9:56

Wright's better receiving back than,

9:58

you know, that in

10:00

a condo, but I'm

10:02

actually going to go a different direction. Go ahead

10:04

and hit offense for me, Harry. Now

10:07

hit quarterback. Oh,

10:09

man, you're going to make somebody mad in that building.

10:12

Oh, but he's not even there. I

10:15

was thinking potentially Michael Pratt could be there, but

10:17

it looks like he's already been drafted, which from

10:20

what I've been hearing, late third could be

10:22

a real possibility for him. Yeah. Now that

10:24

he is actually gone, go back to all.

10:27

My guy Spencer Rattler is gone too. You

10:29

should have taken him. Yeah, go defense. We're

10:32

going to the other side of the ball. We're just going to bolster the team,

10:34

the side of the ball that's already

10:36

bolstered. And de-tackle. Okay.

10:41

So you got Jordan Jefferson and God

10:43

of action. That's the guy I

10:45

mocked to him, Ibioki, because when you

10:47

talk about position flexibility, you got to play

10:49

inside and outside. John Franklin Meyers is essentially

10:51

on his last year on the deal with

10:54

the New York Jets. I think he makes

10:56

a lot of sense. When you

10:58

look at the defensive group, defensive tackle group more

11:00

specifically, Rach, besides Quinn and

11:02

Williams, everybody's on a one-year deal. Eventually,

11:04

you have to build and have somebody grow

11:06

with Quinn and Williams. So go ahead and

11:08

give me Justin. You

11:12

say Ibi, how do you say it, Rach? I think

11:14

it's Ibioki. I'll double check. I thought it was a

11:16

boy bee. You could be a boy bee sounds better.

11:18

Sounds like a boy bee. Yeah, I think it's a

11:20

boy bee. Thank you. By the way, I wanted to

11:22

mention the pick is in, so we can't nothing about

11:24

it, but my guy Christian Boyd, did you think about

11:26

him at all out of Northern Iowa? So

11:28

that makes a lot of sense, too. But he wasn't,

11:31

there he is. They got him ranked a

11:33

little bit lower than we did. That's right. I think he's going to

11:35

be a fourth-round pick. I think he's going to be a fourth-round pick.

11:37

All right, so now we got, yeah, I

11:39

think it is the e-boy bee. My bad to Justin. So

11:41

you get it, boy bee, as the latest pick, two defense,

11:44

two offense, and now we're

11:47

not necessarily best player available, but there's someone that pops at

11:49

the top there that gets your attention. You

11:51

certainly got to think about it. Yeah, so I want

11:53

you to go on the offensive side, Harry, go

11:57

to offensive tackle. Oh,

11:59

oh. Ooh, so

12:01

I don't think either one of those guys

12:03

will be here still but There

12:05

I'm running that card in Cain

12:08

Wallace A

12:10

lot of people are but a lot of people I've heard

12:12

even second third round I love Cain Wallace and I love

12:14

Christian Jones out of Texas Penn State in Texas to off

12:16

the tackles two guys I think Caden

12:19

was in the shrine bowl and Christian was at the senior bowl

12:21

And I think I think

12:23

Christian started at the shrine and then

12:25

went to graduate mistake. Yeah. Yeah, so

12:28

right So there you go. Now we

12:30

have Fuega, but again if

12:32

you want to kick fog inside and the

12:34

other thing is this and you talked about

12:36

all the guys They signed along the offensive

12:38

line liege Just look back at

12:40

the last three or four years for the Jets how

12:42

many times that office line been healthy throughout the season?

12:45

So you can't have too many dudes. I don't feel

12:47

like correct I would say go

12:49

back to running back real quick Harry to know

12:51

you've played with fire now. Oh Oh

12:55

So I love Caden Wallace and we

12:57

did take to lease for Waga already. I'm gonna

12:59

take Tyrone He

13:01

is a Wide

13:03

back right? He's the ex-receiver that turned into

13:06

a running back He also gives you some

13:08

special teams help as a returner as well

13:11

And we talked about it Israel Benaconda is the backup

13:13

but Tyrone Tracy has a different skill set So I

13:15

think it makes a lot of sense now It's and

13:17

you're the part of the draft where that's

13:20

that's exactly where you want to do those things All

13:23

right, so now we got the last Fixing

13:26

250 said oh, so you do have mr. Relum

13:28

you get a fine Brock party. Yeah, I do

13:30

exactly matter of fact I was gonna say go

13:32

to quarterback go to um, and Hartman does not

13:34

Brock party I hate all just one more time

13:37

Dylan Johnson still there. Hmm. I like him too

13:39

I think he got dinged for being injured in

13:41

that last game of season. I was for sure

13:45

All right now go to Go

13:49

to receiver I know we took

13:51

pier saw let's see Griffin's a pretty good

13:53

gold is still there What means the butt

13:55

means is a bigger outside receiver

13:58

gold is a slight guy with good and

14:00

he has track speed he's a

14:02

burner yeah I'm gonna go Anthony I'm

14:04

gonna go Anthony go check like speed

14:07

yep that's uh here's my comp my

14:10

Jets comp Wayne crebet now let's go

14:12

to quarterback to see if we can

14:14

find Brock I'm

14:19

Brock birdie here Devin Larry Devin

14:22

Larry flew into the radar I thought he

14:24

was gonna be better I can carry already

14:26

Harry's already clicking to do that I want

14:28

to click on he's gonna take the fastest

14:31

we'll be mystery relevant I mean right

14:34

we were talking about this before like we

14:36

saw the inconsistencies and he couldn't stay healthy

14:38

at BYU anywhere he's been but

14:40

at the you know at the combine we

14:42

were like you know he's throwing a leather

14:44

off the football at the compound six yeah

14:47

which a lot of people were surprised about

14:49

so I would not be surprised if Keaton

14:51

Slovits gets thinking picked in the sixth or

14:53

seventh round as a developmental quarterback so I'm

14:55

gonna take Keaton Slovits as our you know

14:57

mystery relevant and hopefully you can have a

14:59

career like Brock birdie so last year at

15:02

BYU can you name all of the stops

15:04

before we get out of here yes

15:06

I can name all the stops you that

15:09

SC West Virginia BYU

15:12

I think it

15:14

was a West Virginia to the over the pit anything

15:16

with the pit it was pit was in West

15:19

Virginia because he might have been stops

15:22

but his last stop is gonna be a mystery

15:24

relevant with a new or just actually like that

15:26

pick more than Devin Leary I think he showed

15:29

a little more especially last season and

15:31

definitely probably drafted too but you can't go

15:33

wrong there so telefilaga in the first

15:36

round to pick 10 some just fans might think that's too

15:38

rich but that's how the board fell I like it Ricky

15:40

Pearsall if he's there you feel excited about

15:42

it then you get the safety help with Taylor dimerson then

15:44

you come back with a boy g me big

15:47

J and then Tyler Tyrone Tracy the running back

15:49

I had stepped there and Anthony gold out of

15:51

the slot Oregon State burner undersized

15:53

but he has some special team skills too

15:55

and then that's irrelevant 2024 Keaton slobus

15:59

all right Not a bad draft. Not a bad draft at

16:01

all. Give yourself a grade for that draft.

16:05

I would say an A for the way the

16:07

board fell, right? Just because for a while, again,

16:26

16:30

I ought to win Kadin Wallace anyway over here. Kadin Wallace,
