After a bajillion mock drafts, a gazillion hours on NFL Network rehashing the same 40 prospects ad nauseum, the annual underwear athletic festival, five billion comments about how there’s no way such and such player falls past such and such point in the draft, and countless articles comparing draft prospects to Hall of Fame players, the real 2019 NFL draft is almost here! So... time for a draft game. The 2019 NFL Draft will take place from Thursday, April 25, 2019 through Saturday, April 27, 2019. Everybody and their doctor’s dog’s second cousin thrice removed has put out mock drafts and speculated on whom their favorite team might take. Let’s see how well you can predict the picks the Jets make.The game is simple. List six players you think the Jets will take in the 2019 NFL Draft. No need to identify the rounds they get picked in, and no bonuses for correctly identifying rounds or individual picks; just get the names right. Get a first round pick right and you earn one point. Get a second or third round pick right (again, just the name; no need to get the round right) and you earn two points. Get a 4th through 7th round pick right and you earn three points. So if you correctly pick the Jets’ second round pick, 5th round pick and 7th round pick, you earn eight points (2+3+3). Get the first, second and third round pick right and you earn five points (1+2+2). Later round picks earn more points because the farther you go in the draft the less certainty there is for the possible picks. Identifying a short list of say ten possibilities at pick #3 is not that difficult and the pick will almost certainly come from that list. Identifying a list of ten names for Pick # 217 is a fool’s errand and the pick will almost certainly not come from that list.Sounds simple, right? So let’s have at it. The winning entry will get bragging rights as Gang Green Nation’s best draftnik for a year, and a year’s supply of my dumbest jokes, free of charge. Who can best read the tea leaves and correctly identify the Jets picks? Leave your selections in the comments. One entry per member, please; in the case of multiple entries all but the first entry will be ignored. No need to pick one for each round; if you prefer the safety of picking all names that might go at Pick #3 in the hopes of getting at least one right, that’s your prerogative. Also no need to pick unique selections; if you agree with others’ picks White Jermaine Kearse Jerseys , you can still use them yourself. All you draftniks out there, let’s see what you’ve got. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Quinnen Williams stepped through the doors of the New York Jets‘ training facility for the first time and couldn’t help but get a bit starstruck.The No. 3 overall draft pick looked around and saw his new NFL teammates — guys he once knew only from watching TV and playing video games.“I met Le’Veon Bell yesterday and I’m like, ‘Whoa! That’s Le’Veon Bell, the No. 1 running back in the NFL,” a smiling Williams said Friday. “It’s just crazy. I met Sam Darnold, that’s crazy. I met Jamal Adams. Man, I’ve got Jamal Adams on my (Madden) Ultimate Team. It’s just crazy.”It might seem wacky right now, but Williams knows he certainly belongs — even without video game controllers in his hands.The playmaking defensive lineman was considered by many to be the best overall talent available in this year’s draft, arguably the safest pick a team could make.Now, he’s going to be a 6-foot-3, 303-pound building block in coordinator Gregg Williams’ defense. The former Alabama star was a stubborn run stuffer and punishing pass rusher for the Crimson Tide, and will likely be asked to fill similar roles for the Jets while lining up at different spots on the line.“Wherever they put me, I’ll play,” Quinnen Williams said, flashing a mouthful teeth covered by braces. “If they put me on kickoff returns, I’ll go crazy. They can put me at anything, and I’m going to try to dominate.”He joins a defensive line that includes Leonard Williams, Steve McLendon, Henry Anderson and Nathan Shepherd. So, adding another player to one of the team’s strengths wouldn’t seem to have been a priority entering the draft.But when Quinnen Williams was still sitting there at No. 3 and the Jets found no acceptable trade options to move down in the first round, New York couldn’t resist.“Any time you have a guy that we see as a really talented player, a guy that put a lot of good tape out there his last year in college Jermaine Kearse Jerseys 2019 , and add that to the group we already have, I think it’s really going to be something that could help our defense, especially up the middle,” coach Adam Gase said. “The push up the middle is going to be big for us, especially in this division.”That, of course, mostly means getting to Tom Brady and trying to end New England’s 10-year reign atop the AFC East.Speaking of the Patriots quarterback, Quinnen Williams was asked if sacking Brady would be a sweet moment in his young career.“It’s crazy because Tom Brady started playing in the NFL before I was born,” said the 21-year-old lineman.Well, not quite. Quinnen Williams was born in 1997 and Brady broke into the league in 2000 — but you get the idea.“To sack him, it would be amazing,” he said. “Just to get a sack and just being in the NFL is amazing, so just to get a tackle in the NFL, a tackle for loss, just to play a down, it’s a dream come true for me because I get to play at a high level. So, getting a sack will be like icing on the cake.”While he was considered a sure-thing prospect entering the draft, Jachai Polite was anything but.The outside linebacker was a force at times for Florida, a mix of speed, athleticism and power coming off the edge that had some considering Polite a potential first-rounder.But then came some up-and-down performances, a hamstring injury that hampered him at the NFL combine in February — and some shaky interview sessions and perceptions that he was immature.“It just opened my eyes to the real world,” Polite recalled. “It was just a humbling experience.”Polite slid to the third round, and that’s where the Jets pounced. And White Brandon Shell Jerseys , he’s eager to prove they made the right call.“They took a chance on me,” he said. “I’m surrounded by great people, so I have no choice but to change and be great.”The Jets were well aware of the questions surrounding Polite, but met with him and felt comfortable that he could come to New York and thrive — on and off the field.“I don’t think a lot of us had it all figured out at 21,” Gase said. “Whatever happened in the past is irrelevant to me. Moving forward, it’s just going to be on him to do the right things and worry about what he can control, which is show up every day, be on time, know what you need to do, go out there and practice hard.“He does that, it’ll be smooth sailing for him.”And, perhaps not so much for opposing quarterbacks.Polite also was asked who would be the first quarterback he’d like to sack in the NFL.“The first one we play,” the rookie said with a chuckle.In that case, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills better be ready when the regular season opens Sept. 8.Polite enjoyed watching Dwight Freeney as a kid, particularly how the star pass rusher would zip past blockers on his way to taking down quarterbacks.“I liked the spin move a lot,” Polite said before being asked to grade his own move. “It’s all right. It’s not like his — yet. It’s going to get there.”NOTES: Gase reiterated that he’s not concerned Bell hasn’t taken part in voluntary workouts but said the running back told him he’d be with the team for mandatory minicamp next month. “We know where he is,” Gase said. “He’s working out. Every year that he’s played, he’s been ready to go.” … Gase rebuffed recent reports that there was tension between him and GM Mike Maccagnan. “Unless I say it, it’s really irrelevant to me,” Gase said. “It kind of (ticks) me off a little bit, because we have discussions on everything. That’s our job.”
