First & Ten: Ten Thoughts from the World of Football

The Jets hierarchy is finally acknowledging that it is time to rebuild. 

By John Sarianides

1.The Patriots will trade Jimmy Garoppolo if the right offer comes along. I don’t care what Adam Schefter says. He is a desired commodity and Bill Belichick should listen to what other teams have to offer.

2. The Jets did the right thing releasing Darrelle Revis and Brandon Marshall. They weren’t winning with them and it was time to get younger. The NFL is a young man’s league. It was time to re-tool the roster for the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!

3. I am still trying to figure out the love affair with Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He better put on a show this weekend and at his pro day because right now, I am not buying the hype.

4. FYI. There is no Jared Goff in the 2017 quarterback class, never mind Carson WentzNone of the projected four first round quarterbacks should start as rookies but I have a feeling that at least two of them will.

5. LSU running back Leonard Fournette claims the reason he weighed in at 240 pounds at the combine is he is carrying water weight. Dude, you are not pregnant. That is a lame ass excuse. Give me a break!

6. Speaking of the combine. The five positions I am going to watch closely are as follows: Quarterback, Cornerback, Running Back, Tight End and Safety. I think those are the five best positions in this draft.

7. Stanford running back Christian McCaffery is already bitching and moaning about not getting respect. Stop talking kid. You haven’t played a down in the NFL yet. Don’t make things harder for yourself.

8. The Rams unveiled their new uniforms for 2017 yesterday and as you can imagine, they suck!

9. BREAKING NEWS! Colin Kaepernick is now a free agent and willing to stand for the national anthem. No coincidence at all!

10. Colts coach Chuck Pagano acknowledged in his press conference at the combine that he needs to win next year in order to keep his job. In other news, the sky is blue.
