No... In fact many of them don't play in actual games much at all.

Nope. Jets would win by 30+.

Blueto

10/19/20 2:55pm

No, and it wouldn't even be close.

The college team would have more top end talent

Professional men against talented amateur boys.

ReyOso

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

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

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

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

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

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, . .

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

10/19/20 3:29pm

Negative.
