New York Jets 7 Round NFL Mock Draft (1.0)

The 2018 Draft was about finding the quarterback for the New York Jets. The 2019 Draft will be about building around Sam Darnold. In this 7 Round Mock Draft I go through which prospect the New York Jets could target in the upcoming draft and how they will address their biggest needs heading into the upcoming season.

Breaking: Sam Darnold out for Week 10 with foot injury

According to Ian Rapoport New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold is out for Week 10 with an ankle injury. This means that veteran Josh McCown will be starting under center for the New York Jets when they host the Buffalo Bills.

This will be the first start Darnold will miss in his professional career and comes off the heels of his four interception game against Miami. Darnold appeared to be in a walking boot at Wednesday’s practice and while Darnold has said he is fine, it appears the Jets are protecting their first round investment.

With the Jets bye after the Buffalo game this weekend, it would give Darnold two weeks to heal up before the final stretch of games while at the same time giving him a chance to learn from the sideline.

We will update you on this story as more information becomes available.

As Darnold’s play cools off, the Hot Seat for Todd Bowles just gets hotter

 

Todd Bowles was on the hot seat coming into this season and it’s only gotten hotter as Sam Darnold has regressed in recent weeks. On top of that Bowles made some questionable decisions in Miami such as keeping center Spencer Long in the game despite multiple bad snaps and then calling out his defense after the game despite giving up only six points.

Check out this episode as I explain what Bowles has to do to keep his job and what coaching candidate I think the Jets should target for their next head coach.
