Mission To Civilize New York Jets Coverage
Clayton Smarslok with a defensive preview for this week’s Senior Bowl
You now have a few names to get familiar with on the offensive side of the ball from part one of this series. But we cannot forget about the defensive side with the lack of talent at two major positions; edge rusher and cornerback. With only a few days left before the Senior Bowl week starts, here are a few guys that could spark some interest out of the Jets brass for April’s draft.

The Jets are finally getting to the point to where we can call this Joe Douglas’s team, rather than Mike Maccagnan. There are still quite a few stages before we reach that point in time but where it all starts is the Senior Bowl.
Douglas and his staff; Chad Alexander, Phil Savage and Rex Hogan, can all be expected to be at the event. As we all know, they have a lot of work to do, even if they did finish 6-2 in the second half of the season. This is where they will talk to teams, maybe strike up conversations regarding future deals but nothing is more important than getting the opportunity to watch these 100+ players that could have an impact in the NFL less than 10 months from now.
Clayton Smarslok’s CFB Week 7 Cheat Sheet…
This is it, the Saturday of all Saturdays in the college football regular season. We are officially about halfway through the year and we are granted an abundance of amazing matchups all day long. There are four top-25 games and another one that barely misses that description. At all times of the day you will have good football to watch which is all anybody wants on a Saturday. When you get games like these, you also get players that put their names out there on a national stage as scouts want to see production against top competition. The only thing you have to do now is to read the rest of the cheat sheet, kick back, relax and hope that these games don’t disappoint.

After a week hiatus due to life going on, we are back. No worries though, there will be updates from the last two weeks as well as an outlook for the slate of games this weekend and an updated ranking at the wide receiver position. We are approaching the heart of the in-conference games, meaning we get more rivalry games. When this part of the season comes around, you start to get a better idea of most of the prospects that are eligible for the upcoming draft. Just like the NFL, the rust has definitely worn off by now and should be getting 100% from every player on the field from here on out, it’s just a matter of who can do it consistently. I’m here to do just that for you, enjoy!
Clayton Smarslok with his first quarter of the NFL season 2020 mock draft…
Alas! Mock draft season is upon us! Sure, some may say it is a waste to do a mock draft this early because of everything that can change but people who say that hate fun. This is supposed to be fun for me and you, but also informative for us all to know who is out there and who could be added to your favorite team as the next building block in their hopeful run at a Super Bowl.
As mentioned above, things will change. So do not take this mock draft in early October and rub it in my face when something (or everything) is completely off by the time late April comes around.
Disclaimer: The draft order is based off the order given on Tankathon.com, using the current record and strength of schedule of every team.
Clay Smarslok with his week 4 college football cheat sheet
We can now put week three of the college football season in our rear view mirrors as week four is already underway with a big Pac-12 matchup kicking us off last night. So far we are starting to get an idea of which teams and players are for real and are gradually fading away. Below we will try to focus on those that are here to stay for the remainder of the 2019 calendar. So without further ado, enjoy this read before you get all lazy and watch college football all day like me, even on my birthday.

Unfortunately most Jets fans see this as the end of the season because of all of the injuries. Good news for those people, I am here to help you navigate through the next several months leading up to the NFL Draft in April. This is looking like a strong class, especially in the positions of need for the Jets making it a lot easier for people to cope with maybe another down season.
This past week there were some great performances and prospects popping up on the radar to keep an eye on in this draft cycle. Here are the few that you should remember.
Clayton Smarslok with his week 2 CFB Cheat Sheet…
Guess who’s back! Last year’s NFL Draft Cheat Sheet was a big success and a lot of fun, so we are officially back for year number two. We are starting a week late because Hurricane Dorian gave a little bit of a scare and was originally supposed to hit us last Saturday, but the storm is in the past and we move on! (Side note: All of my thoughts and prayers go out to those in the Bahamas and anyone else affected by the storm).
Clayton Smarslok on what the New York Jets next roster move should be
It took a long eight-plus months but Jets football is finally back, new uniforms and all. Thursday night, the Jets took on the New York Giants for the “Snoopy Bowl”, if that’s still even a thing, and went home with the loss. As you can see in the Boss’s reaction to the pre-season opener, there was some good but there was definitely some bad as well.
Clayton Smarslok asks what historical New York Jets player would be the biggest help to the current roster…
With this being such a quiet time in football, I figured I would throw a tweet out there just for fun and possibly get a few replies back. Little did I know, people love hypotheticals…
#Jets fans, if you could bring back one former Jets player in their prime to join the current roster, who would you choose? One caveat, Darrelle Revis is not allowed (too easy of an answer)
