With the 3GML season more than half over the NFL draft has started to become a topic of conversation among the three league owners. The most intriguing part of being an owner in this league is figuring out how to maneuver around salary cap space, draft picks, and free agency in order to build a “perfect” team, if there is such a thing. While all three teams in the league are exceptional, and could arguably be the three most complete teams in the 3GML football world, there are still holes on each roster. In looking forward to the draft, we are going to explore ways that each of these teams could improve themselves in order to compete for championships and ultimately, and most importantly, get his name on a plaque.
New York Jets:
The most disappointing team in the 3GML universe both seasons has clearly been the poorly coached and ill-prepared New York Jets. The team has the most talented roster in the league, although very young, but has an under .500 record in the two seasons. One of the main reasons is simply poor overall coaching and play within the game. The Jets are atrocious in the red-zone, terrible on 3rd down, and have one of the worst turnover margins in the NFL. With all this said it’s still a very dangerous team, albeit one with a few holes to fill in the upcoming draft.

BIGGEST
MOVES IN 2016:
This team doesn’t really have one big time move in season, instead they have two. The two biggest moves of this season are the additions of Desmond Trufant and Joey Bosa, to add to an elite defensive crew that could wreak havoc on a weekly basis in the coming years. The team did give up a number of selections and good pieces to get these two guys, but both players are going to be knocking on the door of pro-bowls for years to come. The biggest moves doesn’t even include the addition of gigantic receiver Kelvin Benjamin.

MOVE
ANALYSIS:
The Jets did give up a lot to get these players but they were able to keep two first round picks in 2017, including the likely first overall pick. While they gave up a lot they gained significantly more and added potential All-Pros for reasonable rates. These were tremendous acquisitions, and although the price was steep, the Jets got the better end of these deals.

DRAFT
NEEDS:
The biggest issue with this team is their inability to get consistent play from their quarterback position. While Garoppolo, Tannehill, and Bradford have put up gigantic yardage through the air, their inability to score touchdowns in the red-zone, pick up critical third downs, and their aptitude for big time turnovers have caused this team to grind to a mediocre halt. Quarterback is paramount. The team also could use another pass rusher, and some defensive line depth.

POTENTIAL
DRAFTEES:
1. Deshone
Kizer, QB Notre Dame. Kizer is the number one prospect in this class, and while
he’s not without warts, he’s big, strong, and can make big time throws.
Deshaun
Watson, QB Clemson. A mobile beast who may give the team a different type of
playmaker
Mitch
Trubisky, QB North Carolina. A passer with high upside.
Brad
Kaaya, QB Miami. Inconsistent but supremely talented.
2. Myles
Garrett, DE Texas A&M. Quite simply the best player in this draft, the
thought of adding Garrett to the duo of Bosa and Donald would make this
defensive line perhaps the best position group in the NFL.
3. Jonathan Allen, DE Alabama. He is quietly in the Heisman hunt as a
dominating defensive lineman. While Garrett gets a lot of pub, Allen is the
better run defender of the two and can play both 34 defensive end, and 43
defensive tackle.
