New York Jets Fumble The No. 1 Draft Pick
By: Tialena Evans
It’s been a rough year for the 2-13 New York Jets, and unfortunately for them 2021 isn’t looking any brighter. The Jets officially lose out of the no. 1 pick with back-to-back wins late in the season against the Los Angeles Rams and Cleveland Browns.
Since snapping their 13-game losing streak, the longest in franchise history, the Jets undoubtedly extend their decades-long search for a franchise quarterback. Any chance they had at snagging Clemson star Trevor Lawrence, the presumptive no.1 overall pick in next year's draft, has been seemingly passed to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“Hey, our job is to try to go out and win every week,” says coach Adam Gase. “ It’s been too long for us to even remember what a win feels like almost.”
Sure, a win is nice. I mean that’s what you’re playing for after all. Was it the right move in this instance however? Most will say no, including myself.
Adam Gase truly took everything from the New York Jets.

The New York Jets should be destroyed.

Every last stitch of uniform, logo, equipment, office supplies, the practice facility, every last molecule of the team. Vaporized. We have to start again.
Let’s be real here, This New York franchise can’t seem to get up and running as they haven’t made the playoffs in a whole decade. It’s not like they even had a chance to make the playoffs this year either, so why not cut your losses and accept the “Browns special” (0-16 record) in exchange for some future talent?
I guess footballs aren’t the only thing this team’s fumbled this year.
