Exactly^. We would be set for a long long time on D if we get him...he actually is the missing piece. Hopefully he is there when we pick. Kyle Phillips/McLendon/Quinnen Chase Young-Hewitt-Mosley-Jenkins is a much better front 7 then years past. Build OL rounds 2-5 and FA. Trade a 21 1st if needed.
Taking the "STUD" in the 1st round has done nothing but put us in a position every year to take the "STUD". There are more holes on this team than the 2014-15 Knicks. We need multiple draft picks to have any kind of impact. Maybe in the future we can stand pat & take the "STUD" - but we don't have that luxury now. Taking the "STUD" was McCaggnan's philosophy. It didn't work.
I’ve been in this board since 2007, 13 years reading on here the Jets should draft this dude or that guy. They always draft the player that nobody thought they should take (other then Darnold) and draft another DT or another CB because they were too good to pass up. What a joke
I really wanted Josh Allen the past spring. Jets went with Quinnen - and I was thinking "here we go again..." I don't know if there is going to be an impact edge prospect like Bosa and Allen in this coming spring, but if there is, I want to see the Jets grab him. No trade down bullshit. Just get him. ============================================================= Of course if there is the future D'Brick on board when the Jets pick, they should get that kid. (Frankly I don't see one.)
Jeudy can't do shit when his QB is sacked in under 2 seconds. Seems like he'll be a great player but not one we can spend a high pick on. We should be looking at andrew thomas or if he's gone slide back and grab walker little. little's stock may fall since he is out for the year but he was a top 10 pick prior to that.
this is the year to take one in round 1. you'll get more good edge rushers in a draft then you will good LTs and this is the 1st good LT draft in many years. meanwhile every draft has good edge rushers. bosa and allen last year not to mention the other 4 1st round edge guys also predmontly WRs have a very high bust rate in the 1st round and many late round WRs have been much better then 1st rounders. I'd rather use a 2 or 3 on a WR then our 1st. franchise LTs don't fall out of round 1, but WR1s do
This is supposed to be the best WR class since 2014, when we missed out on a number a good WR's. The time to address Edge was this year, but we had to take an interior DL in round 1 and swung and missed on Polite in round 3. OL and WR are the positions that need to be addressed in this draft IMO.
the OTs are great on the top end but not as deep. C is really weak in this draft. OG is good for depth in the mid rounds. WR is deep but deep enough to get a good one in the 3rd. I mean DK metcalf was a 1st round talent that slipped to the end of the 2nd round and has looked great. not to mention scary terry taken in the 3rd round. every year in the draft we see stud WRs come from rounds 2-5 with no issues. You never see a stud LT taken in rounds 2-5. at best you can get a solid guy. OT is the way to go this class in the 1st no question. I've done the research and more good WRs comes form late rounds then from the 1st round over the past 5 years.
I'm torn on this because Jeudy really is a generational talent at receiver and one of the most polished products coming out in a long time. Not to mention the pedigree of Alabama receivers is pretty damn good. You are correct in that this draft is loaded with receivers and good ones can easily be had in the middle rounds. I do always love the idea of taking a franchise left tackle especially when we've been missing one since Brick. It's not completely true that you can't find them later in the draft although yes it is harder to do so. I think you're just discounting how good Jeudy is going to be and what throwing the second coming of Julio Jones into an offense can really do for it. That's why I really wished we could've grabbed another first rounder somewhere. And the only center worth anything this year is Bodiasz from Wisconsin. Which is really where our second pick should go in emulating the Brick/Mangold picks again.
the falcons are 1-7 with julio, the browns are 2-5 with ODB. You need to protect the QB. not discounting jeudy, just saying we need protection from sam more then we need a WR and this is a very rare draft to have a lot of good OTs which is rare. "stud WRs" seem to be in every draft.
Not True at all. Creed Humphrey from OU is just as good as Bodiasz if not better,Jake Hanson from Oregon is very good & there are a few sleepers that are late day 2/early day 3 types. LOVE this kid as a sleeper.
In 2020 it will because the "stud" is for a position of great need - LT. Now if a "stud" happens to be a S or a RB then you are correct.
OL is the biggest need but no way the Jets take OL all 3 rounds. 2 of the rounds yes I can definitely see it. There are too many holes. I can see a LT and a C taken anywhere from round 1 to round 3. I can see a guard or another tackle taken in the later rounds for depth purposes or a potential wild card starter down the road. I would guess LT, C, CB, EDGE and WR are all the top considerations in the first four rounds with the OL getting the focus followed by CB. However if a guy like Chase Young were to slip slightly and reach the Jets with their first pick - considering EDGE has been a need for over a decade and he is the top prospect - all bets are off.
If the Jets had been a properly run organization over the past 3-4 years I would agree with you. Jeudy is a generational talent. However as 'gazedandconfused' stated with the OL as horrible as it is it wouldn't matter if the Jets had Jerry Rice in his prime. There will be other very good WRs later in this draft and there will be more supreme talented ( blue chip )WRs like Jeudy in 2021 if necessary.
Jeudy is going to be really hard to pass on if they are in position to draft him. The good news is the OL looks like it could be pretty strong in FA.
You dont pass on a generational talent at an impact position.Period. There is good value at OL on day 2 & 3. Additionally a WR CAN help a bad Ol if they have a quick enough release & can separate right off the snap which can optimize a quick passing game. We dont have anyone who can do that right now which makes the OL ten times worse.Its about balance.
