Thoughts?

If you took the best college football player at each position, could you beat the New York Jets with that roster?

I think yes.

Nope. Jets would win by 30+.

Blueto

10/19/20 2:55pm

No, and it wouldn't even be close.

shoganai

10/19/20 2:55pm

The college team would have more top end talent

kimdaddy35

10/19/20 2:57pm

Professional men against talented amateur boys.

ReyOso

10/19/20 3:15pm

Funniest take of the day

kimdaddy35

10/19/20 3:31pm

That's not really true, IMO.

shoganai

10/19/20 5:45pm

Look at the guys on the Jets and who were drafted highly

kimdaddy35

10/19/20 9:14pm

I respectfully think you're off your rocker on this topic.

I agree yes, if they had a decent coach. If they had the Jet's coaching staff

kimdaddy35

10/19/20 2:55pm

The Jets stink, but....No.

Lifi

10/19/20 2:55pm

No. Let's take a shot at the college offense.

YIsForBrigham

10/19/20 2:55pm

Which positions would you rather have the Jet's player?

kimdaddy35

10/19/20 3:19pm

To win one game against the college all star team? Probably every one. If I think I can coach up Lawrence and

10/19/20 3:25pm

Good thing you aren't an NFL GM then

kimdaddy35

10/19/20 3:33pm

It wouldn't be close. It would be a blowout.

YIsForBrigham

10/19/20 3:51pm

Probably, because those are all future NFL high draft picks anyway

Sock Gnome

10/19/20 2:55pm

NFL draft pick =/= actual NFL rotational player

salamishiitake

10/19/20 3:04pm

How many 1st round draft picks aren't rotational players in year 1?

kimdaddy35

10/19/20 3:07pm

It's a hypothetical question. Hypothetically speaking, if most ended up being...

Sock Gnome

10/19/20 3:10pm

I guess? If they had several years to gel as a team with their coaching staff

salamishiitake

10/19/20 3:13pm

"I guess" is the right answer, because it's exactly that - hypothetical

Here we go again......... Nope.

mudpupper

10/19/20 2:57pm

Do the Jets have 20 guys with 1st round talent?

kimdaddy35

10/19/20 3:00pm

does every first round draft pick belong on an NFL roster?

salamishiitake

10/19/20 3:05pm

Through week 6 only two 1st round draft picks a year ago haven't played

kimdaddy35

10/19/20 3:10pm

And how many of them are tearing up the league.

ReyOso

10/19/20 3:16pm

Burrow has looked phenomenal in my opinion playing on team devoid of talent.

kimdaddy35

10/19/20 3:28pm

Right, there are always a few outstanding rookies.

ReyOso

10/19/20 3:45pm

Taking the top draft picks at each position from a year ago would result in a

With an NFL coach + staff + facilities, etc. and 6 months to prep — still no.

CocaColaRecovery

10/19/20 2:58pm

I'm going to say yes. This year's rookie class is actually a good test case

4th and Niner

10/19/20 3:01pm

Well, let's see. That would be Zach, Dax, Tonga, Algiers, Barrington, Empey, . .

squidmark

10/19/20 3:02pm

So here is a potential roster for the college team:

Dakota Cougar

10/19/20 3:03pm

I think they win and with that coaching staff and time to prepare they would win

kimdaddy35

10/19/20 3:06pm

To be clear, I did draft-eligible players.

Dakota Cougar

10/19/20 3:58pm

No. Not close.

Jay Kay

10/19/20 3:06pm

No. And it wouldn’t be close

A Drew Aitch

10/19/20 3:07pm

Absolutely YES

Hup

10/19/20 3:08pm

Yes this is a very different question than could Alabama beat them

kimdaddy35

10/19/20 3:12pm

It’s a different game. A bad nfl team > any team of college players

Grungymtnman

10/19/20 3:10pm

This isn't comparing a college team to an NFL team. We all agree no college team

Sock Gnome

10/19/20 3:13pm

I know- I said ANY team of college players.

Grungymtnman

Negative.
