Retweeted by Brian Costello Bart Hubbuch @HubbuchNYP 27m Sammy Watkins told me Rex said to him recently that Watkins is so hot "the Jets are trying to trade 10 years of [first-round] picks for me." i pray to god this isn't true
i mean obviously Rex exaggerated with "10 years", but does that mean we are even considering trading up for him?
OH GREAT Rex showed his hand. This dumb organization will never get anything right. Now someone is going to swoop in and take Watkins before we have the shot at 18.
Moving up to 5 would be stupid. There should be lot of really good talent where we are at 18. Not Watkins good but still.
Idzik wants to build through the draft. Every move this offseason has indicated that. Obviously the Jets are going to go full Tannenbaum and give up many draft picks for a guy that is stupid enough to believe any team in the NFL will trade 10 first rounders for an unproven player. The only thing this thread has accomplished is to make me hope that Sammy Watkins ends up in the bust column.
Watkins isnt getting past Jacksonville. So that means we would need to trade with St Louis. And that 2 spot is worth a forture. I think Watkins is going to be AJ Green/Julio Jones type. But I dont think a WR is worth trading up into the top 2 for.
