Part 4/10:
Historically, NFL teams guard their draft plans quite tightly. Cimini reveals that even in cases like the 2021 draft, where the Jets ultimately took Zach Wilson, the team did not explicitly disclose their intentions beforehand. Wilson's selection was more of an understood consensus than an announced plan. This pattern of secrecy is likely to persist in this year's draft, especially given the competitive nature of team negotiations and strategic positioning.
Cimini points out that the Jets are probably more open to experimentation and deception this year, possibly to facilitate a trade. With the draft front-runners being clear on the top pick, the Jets might even be leveraging this ambiguity to create opportunities for movement—perhaps trading down to accumulate more draft capital.
