I feel for you, New York football fans (also: I’m one of you!).
The New York Giants are 3-7 and just fired offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.
The New York Jets are 2-8 and there seems to be no help in sight for the perpetually sad-sack franchise.
Normally, there’s the usual “Cheer up! You’ll get a top pick next year!” But for these two teams, there’s BETTER news: The Jets have the Seattle Seahawks’ 2022 first-round pick thanks to the Jamal Adams trade. And the Giants own the Chicago Bears’ first-rounder next year due to the Justin Fields trade-up.
Guess what? Both the Seahawks and Bears are terrible right now. And as of Tuesday, the Jets would have picks No. 2 and 6 overall, and the Giants would have Nos. 5 and 7.
NFL Draft order after 11 weeks:
1) #Lions
2) #Jets
3) #Jaguars
4) #Texans
5) #Giants
6) #Jets (via Seahawks)
7) #Giants (via Bears)
8) #Eagles (via Dolphins)
9) #Falcons
10) #Washington— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) November 23, 2021
Does that help, even just a little bit? In talking with fellow New Yorkers, the attitude seems to be the same: “Just another draft pick for our team to ruin.”
You can’t think that way! This is a great time to root against the Bears and Seahawks, as well as your own franchises. Chin up!
