The late round draft should work like the team Hall of Fame.
The team selects three players and then lets us vote online.

I think I LOVE the Crownover pick the more I think about it.

Like to snag a DT, and maybe a punter.

Basketball background makes him appealing to me too. Gotta be able to move those puppies to hoop. So, would think that makes it easier for his footwork on gridiron.

Our young offensive lineman need to hit weight room. Campbell, Wilson, Lomu and Crownover.

Jets get VJ Payne. Quite a few players the board like in the AFC East. Just not on the Patriots.

It's alright, they still don't have a QB.

You'll feel better when Maye is throwing dimes over his head.

With Payne gone, I'm thinking LB (Lawson); or speed Edge (Nadame Tucker) with our next pick. Also would like to see us double down at CB with either Devon Marshall or Thaddeus Dixon since nobody else on the planet has ever heard of the CB we actually drafted.
