I know that mocking a WR to the Patriot is icky, but I like the Johnston/Patriots fit. Johnston is a solid value at #14, IMO, and offers the skill set to be a better version of what NE hoped DeVante Parker would be. Bonus: The Pats could cut Parker and free up over $6 mil with zero dead money.
I'm guessing the Pats also draft a slot WR in the 3rd/4th round. I could see Tyler Scott being a name they have circled on their draft board.
If you want a laugh, check out Bucky Brooks' new mock. He has the Jets selecting O. Torrence at #13. Horrendous value and even more horrendous fit as a G in NY's ZBS. Mind-blowing.
The arrow is definitely pointing down with the Titans, but don't sleep on the Rams to bat leadoff in the '24 Draft. Save for Stafford (one bad hit from retirement), Kupp, and Donald, that depth chart is a horror show.
@Mr. Bitter I'm not a professional writer or anything but if the Jets draft a non-ZBS guard at 13 with Laken Tomlinson and AVT that's an D-/F grade. I quite like Torrence as a 20-32 region guard who's a great blocker, but the fit makes no sense. I guess their idea was to move to AVT to RT?
It's probably the most likely given Joe Douglas and Brown's age, but I wouldn't be shocked if they don't draft OL in R1. They may hope that Becton "pulls a Bolles" and balls out in a contract year and Duane Brown is still a pretty decent pass blocker. Who knows. Brian Branch feels like a quality option for them if Skoronski/Johnson Jr. are gone, but I imagine they'd want to trade down a few first.
Unfortunately, I think you could be right about the Jets not going O-line on Day One. It would be foolish to assume anything beyond one season from Rodgers, meaning the pick at #13 would ideally be a player ready to jump into the lineup and make an immediate impact.
I also agree on the NYJ/Brian Branch fit. The Jets need a Jalen Pitre-type NB/FS. While not an elite athlete, Branch is undoubtedly one of the first prospects that comes to mind when you're talking about "most pro-ready".
As a Jets fan, I don't like the all-in move for Rodgers. I get the importance of a franchise QB, but I'm not sure Rodgers qualifies as such anymore, and his mere presence has already painted us into a corner in terms of what we can and can't do during free agency and the draft. He hasn't even officially signed yet and it's already frustrating.

Excellent stuff.
