The Jets needed two safeties. The incumbent safeties are all adequate at best. This was a major area of need. The issue for me was do the Jets go WR in round 1, safety in round 2 or vice versa? So it should be wideout tomorrow and I like a lot of them that are still remaining. I liked some other safeties too, such as Bucannon, Huff and Ward. The Jets can take Huff on Saturday.
They signed Byrd who is the opposite of Pryor. He's a coverage safety. Again, missing the point. Also the players on their defense are terrible, lets not try to make that argument. Statistically they might look good because a) they have a Ryan coaching up the limited talent, which is my point, the jets should be doing that, instead of letting hi pick the players.. And b) their offense was so good it keeps the defense off the field, or keeps the other team more one-dimensional, which is the future of football. They are doing things right, the jets are doing things wrong
You used to be a better poster. Funnier too. Now you never talk football and your posts are a lot like this. Not fun or funny just a lame shot at others, have the crappy posters from this board rubbed off on you or are you getting old?
The blinders you people have is insane. This was a waste of a pick. Should have taken Cooks, Mathews, Lee or even Dennard.
While we score limited points on offense with Dumb and dumber throwing to scrubs... And Decker and Kerley....
Nah you need to reread what you wrote. You said they don't care about D, not that they picked the right guys. Clearly they cared about D, spending their 1st round pick on it last year and then 54 million on one player this offseason. You also their D sucks, it doesn't. Why it doesn't suck is a conversation, but not one you brought up originally either. You missed your own point. The defense gave up the 9th least yards per drive. 8th least points per drive. It also matched the eye test of "hey this defense doesn't stink and is helping the Saints, like slowing down the Eagles offense in the playoffs as one example". According to the ESPN depth chart some defensive starting positions for the Saints right now: LDE, 3rd round pick NT 1st round pick RDE 1st round pick RILB 2nd round pick SS 1st round pick FS 2nd round pick CB 3rd round pick and 1st round pick But you can pretend that is "limited talent".
Wide receiver is very deep this draft, safety is much less so. What safeties are even left right now? No one good as far as I know. But at receiver there's still Marquis Lee, Jordan Matthews, Jarvis Landry, Cody Latimer, and I'm sure some more I'm leaving out.
