Jet Cast

Going through the 2026 New York Jets schedule one game at a time. My honest read on all seventeen games, where I think we win and lose, and where the season actually gets decided. Vegas has us with one of the easier schedules in the league, but the way they front-loaded this thing, the first six weeks have a chance to be brutal.

A year ago, Cade Klubnik was being mocked to the Jets with the first overall pick. Instead, the Jets had to trade up to grab him at 110 in the fourth round. So what actually happened in 2025? In this deep dive, I walk through Klubnik's 2024 Heisman-caliber junior season, dig into the four real reasons his senior year fell apart, and break down what he can bring to New York behind Geno Smith in Frank Reich's offense.We cover Klubnik's elite 2024 numbers, the Adam Carter stat that puts his junior year in a club with Patrick Mahomes, Drake Maye, Dak Prescott, and Jaxson Dart, the full Clemson injury timeline, the deep ball and play action collapse Michael Nania broke down at Jets X-Factor, and the Garrett Riley firing that confirmed the scheme was part of the problem. Then we get into the Jets fit, the Reich connection, the Seth Ryan link to Clemson, and what a realistic ceiling and floor look like for a Day 3 quarterback in New York.

Manish Mehta from Between the Tackles (@tacklespod) joins JetCast to break down the Jets' 2026 draft. We get into the Arvell Reese vs David Bailey debate at #2, the trade-up scenarios that could have netted Ruben Bain Jr. and Colton Hood, why the Klubnik pick isn't worth firing Mougey over, and what Mougey empowering the scouting department actually says about his leadership.Manish also shares a great Aaron Glenn pickup basketball story from training camp in Cortland that tells you everything about how Glenn approaches the game.What we cover:- Mougey's plan to build infrastructure for a 2027 QB- Why a trade up to 14 for Ruben Bain might have been the smarter move- D'Angelo Pons and whether height is actually a problem- David Bailey's rookie sack potential- The new scouting and evaluation process under Mougey- Manish's draft grade (and why he's a harsh grader)

Episode 3 of JetCast with Frankie V from U Stadium and the New York Post. The big question heading into the 2026 NFL Draft: who do the New York Jets take at #2?Pat and Frankie get into the David Bailey vs Arvell Reese debate. Frankie's take: Bailey is production, Reese is projection, and this franchise has burned enough picks chasing projection. They dig into first-step quickness, what Aaron Glenn's defense might actually look like, whether Reese disappearing for stretches should scare you off at #2, and why Bailey might even fit a 3-4 better than people think.From there it's the rest of the board. The 16th pick and the Jets' wide receiver hole (Tate, Tyson, Lemon, Cooper Jr., Denzel Boston). Why Frankie thinks Vega, the Penn State guard, might be the most bust-proof player in the whole class. Tyson's injury history and whether it's a red flag or overblown. Ty Simpson at 16 (answer: no). The 33 and 44 strategy, with Chris Bell and Chris Brazzell as under-the-radar names to know.Bigger-picture Jets stuff too. Do you trust Darren Mougey? What to make of the Sauce and Quinnen trades, especially the timing on the Quinnen deal. A few words on Nick Mangold. And why Sean Payton giving play-calling to Davis Webb is exactly the kind of forward thinking this franchise has never been willing to try.

What if the New York Jets drafted Marino? What if Belichick never left? What if Chad Pennington's shoulder held up?In this episode, we dive deep into the alternate-history moments that could have completely changed the New York Jets franchise. From draft-day disasters to playoff heartbreakers to the coaching hire that got away, we break down the biggest what-ifs in Jets history and debate what could have been.
