Welcome to a turn on the Jets digital special presentation.

0:06.3

My name is Scott Mason.

0:07.8

You can follow me on Twitter at Play Like a Jet One, and I am joined by one of the great beat reporters on the New York Jets Beat.

0:14.8

And a guy who, unfortunately, has been away way too long from this podcast.

0:19.8

I'm glad that he's back.

0:21.2

The most dangerous man on the New York Jets beat, dangerous Darrell Slater. What's going on, Darrell?

0:26.6

Not too much, man. Thanks for having me. Good to be back.

0:29.4

Yeah, absolutely. I know you had your hands full with the draft last week. We had a ton of coverage going on all the way around on the podcast. You guys were rocking and rolling on NJ.com.

board. Yeah, we all know that Nick Bosa was the number one edge rusher on just about every board around the NFL. And this is the prototypical Mike McCagnan

1:16.6

pick because he likes guys that have very high floors so that there's a low bust rate. He ended up

1:22.5

getting one anyway, but with Nick Bosa, he would have had an edge rusher who was almost a guarantee to be a 10 to 12-sac guy,

1:30.4

barring injury. So you could knock me over with a feather at the revelation that the Jets were going to

1:35.6

pick him at number one if they had had the top selection. I still think that it's going to end up
