I'm not the one that gets upset here when people comment non-favorably on their posts. It was a bad article reaching at bad logic to support itself imo.
Ok, well I disagree. If you didn't like the logic thats fine but yeah, its upsetting that you want to make it a racial/political thing, when it clearly wasnt
I'm actually coming around on a potential pick of Jeanty if he's there. Some of the people that are that "generational talent" high on him have been making some pretty convincing arguments of late that I should probably be more concerned out of what we saw out of our non-existent running game last year, and with the part Breece's play had in that. Still not there with Warren yet, but if I might get there if i can be convinced we walk out of the 2/3 picks with a WR2 and starting RT we can be content with.
Well a week ahead of the draft, we are sitting here with Carter Warren as our starting RT. that is a SCARY proposition. We need to come out of this draft with a starting quality RT who is better than Warren. I’m not expert enough to say if that needs to be the pick at 7 or if we can get a player almost as good in the 2nd round, but to me, RT HAS to be be one of our first two picks.
Again, I wasn't the one making it a political thing. Just pointing out the tones of your article's author there, and from a quick click of his profile seems to make his living writing about that stuff just as much as he does sports. There is Jets fans on youtube i watch sometimes that does tape breakdowns for all our potential targets that might be there at pick 7. FWIW his summary analysis and concerns of "why scouts might not be in love with Sanders" makes for a more interesting watch then that article's reaching claim that scouting is simply broken imo: I don't agree with everything he concludes but I do appreciate the effort the guy puts in, and believe his Sanders take in particular is pretty spot on.
I think some on here are confusing the dislike for Sanders as personal. For me, at least, it's not. He seems like a good kid and I do not know him so I have every reason to believe he IS a good kid. My assessment is entirely football related. When it comes to "coaches kids" I'm actually on the exact opposite end. MOST of the coaches kids, I've been around or known, turn out to be nowhere near as good as they are advertised. I felt the kid was coddled and the programs were "altered" to fit the kid's skill set and on and on. However, every situation is different. When it comes to Sanders, the football player, I feel he is slow to read defenses, holds on to the ball too long and has a mediocre arm. Now, Brock Purdy has proven a mediocre arm can get it done so at least we have proof it can be done. However, holding on to the ball and his other struggles are going to get him killed. He's not a big guy to begin with and he was sacked, a LOT, in college. I've not been shy about this. If he were going to a team, like the 49'ers or Minnesota, where they have proven QB gurus then I would give Sanders a 60/40 shot in sticking in the NFL. However, he is most likely going to go to a scrub team, like the Jets, and get his ass kicked up and down a field, his confidence blown to pieces and, potentially, hurt beyond repair. Contrary to that article, he is NOT going to come in to an NFL locker room and save an entire franchise. He may be the SON of PRIME be he is NOT Prime, not yet anyway. The Manning brothers, literally, spoke football. Same way a top computer tech speaks 1's and 0's. I have no doubt Peyton's nose was in a playbook "in the womb." He was an ELITE QB. Same with Luck. Sanders is none of these and THIS is what this team needs to exercise whatever the hell is wrong with this franchise that isn't named Woody Johnson. So, no, the Jets should absolutely NOT draft Sanders and DO everything in their power to land Arch Manning next year so that the Jets can do what I just described a few sentences ago.
What you guys both seem to be missing is that you're reading an essay, a column, an opinion piece - not a news article that would give us the who, what, why, when, where and how of an actual event. This is nothing more than the imagination and viewpoint of one Andrew Lawrence who has determined who and what Sanders should be compared to and gets paid to do so. Whether his outlook is more grounded in reality or more worthy than any other than that of a Nagle imposter or self-ordained king will be better examined a few years from now. In the meantime we can all just wait and see what happens while we share our own opinions and hope for a better year around here whether or not the second coming of Payton Manning materializes as Sanders, Fields or a sixth rounder. Or, SOJ style, not at all.
I have a feeling the Jets have Jeanty rated very highly and believe he's likely to be there for them in the first, and will take him if there, and trade Breece. Just a vibe I've gotten lately. Not sure I agree with it, as everything I've heard is that this is a very deep RB draft, the Jets aleady have a really good RB room, and my belief on running game is that the best running games come from the best offensive lines, but I'm increasingly beginning to expect the Jets to draft him.
i wouldnt be happy if they do that. at this point im just going to trust the fo until they do something dumb. i think both sanders and jeanty would be bad picks.
Looks like Graham, Membou, or Warren with #7 for the Jets. I would probably rank them in that order, but Membou seems the odds on favorite per DraftKings. I would be happy with either of the 3.
I would not like the move. We have too many pressing needs, RB is absolutely not one of them. Hall will not fetch much at this point to boot. I rather trade down to someone that wants Jeanty bad.
No chance. Breece Hall is worth a 3rd round pick at most. Probably a 4th. He’s on his last year and, much as we love him, all of his success has been in small spurts of incredible play mixed in with injuries and a whole lot of questionable play where he looked slow and uninterested at times. To use a top 10 pick on a position that is one of our only “strengths” at the moment seems careless.
My hope for the draft. Membo on the first, best TE or WR on the second, DL on the third, BPA rest of the way.
I’d be fine with that, even if they go DL in round 2 and WR/TE in round 3 even, but would definitely like to fill those three spots with our first three picks for sure
