The NFL Scouting Combine is (sort of) underway in Indianapolis. The first group of players arrived for the annual event yesterday. The second group is arriving today. Preliminary activities are taking place, but the main focus of the Combine are the drills. Those will not start until later in the week.

Does the Combine really matter? That is the focus of today's podcast. I used to think the Combine was totally irrelevant. I have changed my mind on this topic a bit through the years. Do I still think the Combine is extremely overhyped? Do I think people frequently misinterpret the results?

My answer is yes to both questions, but I do think there are areas where the Combine has its uses. If you avoid using it as the sole judge of player quality, it can be part of the evaluation with some useful information produced.

Yesterday on our show we placed Jets offensive players under contract into one of four tiers. The top tier is for elite talent. The second tier is for above average players or young players with the potential to get there one day. The third tier is for functional players or young players with the potential to get there. The fourth tier is for players who are lucky to have a spot on an NFL roster.

Today we turn our attention to the defensive side of the ball. Things were not pretty on offense. There aren't many building blocks under contract for the Jets. The view is brighter on the defensive side of the ball. The defense was the stronger of the two units for the Jets in 2019. While weaknesses exist at some of the key spots, there is at least a base of talent to work with.

I hope everybody had a good three day weekend (if it was three days) and enjoyed our series of shows last week on the AFC East with Mike of Locked on Patriots and Joe of Locked on Bills. We are back to our normal format today focusing exclusively on the Jets.

Today's show is about ranking the offensive players on the Jets. Through the years I have seen numerous methods for ranking players. One that I think is really useful heading into the offseason places each player into one of four tiers. The top tier has elite players. The second tier has players who are either quality starters or young players who have the potential to grow into a quality starter (or star). The third tier has players who are nothing special but a step above practice squad quality. The fourth tier has players who might not belong in the NFL.
