    Pre-Draft 2026 - Part Four: You Have to Get a Chestnut (S4 Ep12)

    Jon and Al are back with one more pre-draft pod, where they use the Athletic Beast draft profiles to come up with the ideal picks at each point of the Jets’ 2026 draft. They try to fill needs, take the best players, and there are few special guest appearances from Jon's mini-me, Jack, who makes an excellent mid-round selection for the Jets!

    Pre-Draft 2026 - Part Three: The Tank Mock (S4 Ep11)

    Craig and Al are joined by 2026 International Fan of the Year Anth Cook, just a couple of days before he flies to Pittsburgh to represent the international Jets fan community. Anth plays GM one last time before he walks the walk on draft night itself, while Al and Craig do their best to run interference and make him take a pick he didn't actually want!

    Pre-Draft 2026 - Part Two: It’s Our Super Bowl (S4 Ep10)

    Steve Shoes joins the pod with one mission in mind: to put Anth Cook’s fabled Jets Lens through the draft process. Expect a few surprises along the way, as Steve throws out some intriguing selections that could reflect what the Jets brass might do, or perhaps should do, on draft night. If you’re a fan of Anth’s Jets Lens series, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

    Pre-Draft 2026 - Part One: It’s Not a Geno Jersey (S4 Ep9)

    The Hippo Jets return with their first pre-draft episode of 2026. Jon and Al are joined by Warren Thomas — a lifelong Jets fan, marathon runner, and a driving force in the UK Jets community, known for his incredible charity efforts as much as his passion for the team. Warren steps into the GM role for a live mock draft, with Jon and Al doing their best to disrupt proceedings from inside his “war room”.
