    Kinnard and Mitchell are 2 I’ve been looking at for RG if we don’t address it in free agency. Both are playing in the SR. Bowl (for the other team).

    I got some questions for you.

    Which one of these are worthy of 10th pick in the first round?

    And which ones in your opinion are good value at the top of second round when Jets are picking?

    I'm no expert by any means, but I'll do my best to answer your questions.

    At #10, any of Neal, Ekwonu, Linderbaum, and Cross are worthy of being taken imo. Unless the Jets have decided to definitely move Becton to RT or move on from him, they probably won't consider Cross, as everything I've read about him (haven't watched him so far) projects him only at LT. He's a great pass blocker, but not much of a run blocker (sounds like DaBrickashaw).

    With regards to your second question, it's hard to say who still might be left since almost every team in the NFL needs help at OL and a lot of them could go in the 1st round which would push up some who I've seen rated as lower 2nd and 3rd round picks. But based on the rankings of the OL I've seen, and what I've read about each of the upper echelon OL, Bernhard Raimann, Kenyon Green, Zion Johnson, and Trevor Penning are the only ones who would be a good value and who could still be on the board. Green could very easily go in the middle or end of the 1st round, and imo probably will. Raimann played at a small school, as did Penning, so both could still be there. I don't think Zion Johnson will get taken in the 1st round, but some team who needs an OG might disagree and grab him. I've seen some rate Darian Kinnard as a possible 1st or early 2nd round pick, but I've seen others have him down at the middle or bottom of the 2nd round, and maybe lower. One other whose rankings who are all over the place is Nicholas Petit-Frere of Ohio St. I've seen him ranked anywhere from top of the 2nd round to as low as 3rd or 4th round. @IIMeanDeanII should be able to give you a better idea about him.

    I hope this helps.

    Leave it to PFF to post a misleading stat. How about 2021? I googled it, but couldn't see anything about pressures. He only played in 4 games in 2020 and only 6 in 2021. He must have injury issues or be a backup.

    According to PFF he played in 4 games taking 261 in 2020 and 12 Games with 769 snaps in 2021

    2019 - RG
    2020 - LG
    2021 - C

    I just went on the ASU site where they said “he never missed a Game in 3 years but on a different page had your numbers….. so idk wtf happened in 2020.

    Thanks. That's wild that the info would be so different from one place to the other. I wonder if he backed up the LG spot in 2020. That could mean he still didn't miss a game, but only played in 6 games. If the other place on the ASU website is accurate that he never missed a game in his 3 years, then the initial stat I posted is a worthy one, as only 4 pressures in 20 games would at least be good, if not excellent, wouldn't it?

    10 pressures in about 1,000 snaps… idk if that’s good or not lol. Sounds good.

    I like that he’s played all over the line and being a sun devil myself, I like that too.

    I’m not a fan of misleading info, that’s on PFF.

    FA and the draft can’t come fast enough.

    With Ingram's past off field issues of the past, I'm not sure if JD would even consider him, but PFF should have included both Lecitus and Ingram.

    it was years ago and he's been fine since. it'll hurt his draft stock but some team will get a steal in the later rounds with him

    I'm sure the Jets will vet him. If they're convinced that his troubles are in the past and his character is fine, then he'll be under consideratoin. If they're not convinced, he won't. JD and Saleh are trying to change the culture. They want high character types, leaders, captains, guys who love football. They're not going to take anyone who they think could cause problems or not be a strong part of that culture.

    I may have been wrong about Cole Strange if the following two tweets are accurate. If so, it's a bit surprising. In every daily practice one-on-one rep I saw, he battled, but usually looked like he was on skates and pushed backwards, and the comments I read about him weren't great, either. Jim Nagy, the Dir. of the Sr. Bowl sure seems to love him, however.

    he really fits the bill of a JD late round pick IMO. it's a weak o-class after the 1st round though. not a lot of depth. should be interesting. I think JD gets a free agent RG IMO or resigns LDT

    I hope that he re-signs LDT. LDT really liked it here and wants to re-sign with the Jets. They should be able to sign him to a reasonable deal. That would enable JD to only have to think about depth at OG in FA and the draft, and not have to worry about a starter. The other thing that nailing LDT down could do is free up JD to take Hamilton if likes him and wants to take him, unless he's really worried about the Becton situation. That would also free him up to truly focus on Edge, WR, TE and whatever other position or BPA with the other of his top 4 picks.
