Tony The Wiz Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Amaro will be an all pro. He was in my top 20 players. Thank you and also kept him away from the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj meadowlands Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Idk about any of that. But, I do think him and Cumberland could be a GREAT TE combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predator_05 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Sefarian Jenkins ? I do like the pick though. Decker and Amaro will improve our red zone efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointman Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 F Ebron, the big ego'ed dickhead with stone hands. This is football, not boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Kinda sorta, he's probably the best put together out of the top 3 guys. I liked him more after the combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony The Wiz Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Ebron was a hybrid TE. Amaro was the best TE in College. Jenkins reminds me of the TE in Detroit. Great body but no productivity. Jets got a better version of Aaron Hernandez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 F Ebron, the big ego'ed dickhead with stone hands. This is football, not boxing. I actually agree with this - Ebron has the leaned out build of a boxer. Jenkins is just a little bit less flexible and more knobby (Brandon Pettigrew-ish) than Amaro from what I can bullsh*t. Ebron thinks he's part male model, possibly he really wants to be an assassin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetNation Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 In the 2nd round of the NFL draft, the NY Jets have selected Tight End Jace Amaro (49th overall). Amaro who is 6’5: 265lbs is a Junior at Texas Tech. With the 49th pick we've selected TE Jace Amaro. Welcome him to the Green & White! #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/mcqiaL1VoR — New York Jets (@nyjets) May 10, 2014 Here is the profile on Amaro from CBS Sports.com: STRENGTHS: At 6-feet-5, 265 pounds with impressive straight-line speed (4.74 seconds). Lining up mostly in the slot, Amaro is a big, fluid athlete who uses his thick body to gain proper positioning in coverage and uses his large, soft mitts to attack the ball in the air. He is a balanced route-runner and collects himself when changing direction with smooth moves to create separation. Amaro is dangerous after the catch and isn’t an easy ball carrier to bring down, running with power and toughness. Played more of a slot receiver position in college and projects as a joker tight end at the next level. WEAKNESSES: Lacks elite bulk and muscle definition for the position. Shows some ankle and lower body stiffness, lacking elite flexibility. Doesn’t have the softest hands and will have some drops off his palms. Allows his pads to get too high in his routes and needs to stay low and show better dip and body balance in his breaks – needs to do a better job hiding his intended path until the final moment. Doesn’t always play up to his size as a route-runner and can’t let defenders knock him from his path. Needs to develop a nastier demeanor as a blocker and improve his hand placement – will get caught holding. Room to improve his ball security when fighting for extra yards. Primarily an inside slot receiver in college and wasn’t asked to be a consistent inline blocker. Some durability concerns after missing six games in 2012 after an upper body injury (grade-3 lacerated spleen) that caused internal bleeding. Needs to keep his emotions in check on the field – ejected from the bowl game in 2012 after punching an opponent. Some minor off-field character concerns after a March 2012 arrest for credit card fraud. You can read more about Jace Amaro in our forums.

ozzieny Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Excellent pick. Idzik is killin it thus far. hope he keeps it up. 2 top players. No reaches. Filling needs. Round 3 and round 4 CB, WR, QB, LB, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJetsVets91 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Amaro compliments Cumberland? F That. Cumberland is Amaro's understudy. I mean their playing styles as in Amaro is an oversized WR who can make amazing catches, and Cumberland is a solid blocking TE who can also make plays.

Sperm Edwards Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I mean their playing styles as in Amaro is an oversized WR who can make amazing catches, and Cumberland is a solid blocking TE who can also make plays. Cumberland is an oversized WR who is not a solid blocking TE. Blocking TEs don't get clocked at 4.5 in the 40. Also they tend to block well.

derp Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I mean their playing styles as in Amaro is an oversized WR who can make amazing catches, and Cumberland is a solid blocking TE who can also make plays. FWIW, Cumberland literally came out of college as an oversized WR the Jets converted to TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, see, Amaro once said Cumberland was very "butch" and has supple thighs. So, technically, he does compliment him. Glad i could clear that up for you. Carry on.

TuscanyTile2 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I think the ESPN analysts said that Amaro wasn't asked to block but that doesn't mean he can't block. Jury still out on that but he's a big dude. I would imagine the potential is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 great great pick As I've said a million times priority one w/geno was giving him safety valve until he learns playbook/stops panic w/primary covered;) Getting Ebron/Amaro/ASJ was priority one w/geno. Gives him safety valve until he learns playbook/stops panic w/primary covered;) This is HUGE boost to Offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the potential is there. That was the knock on Vernon Davis when he came out, and he proved to be a beast of a blocker. Amaro was the combine's top performer on the bench press and vertical jump. He has plenty of upper and lower body strength. The Jets are going to ask him to do some blocking, and he'll be capable.
