SenorGato Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I don't think Evans is bad or anything, just boring. His upside is Cotchery, and Cotchery might have been a slightly better athlete and was almost definitely more productive coming out of NC St catching passes for the Rivers. I'm too lazy to check. Bryant and Norwood would have been quality alternatives to the WRs drafted. I can't think of the last player from Oklahoma U that I like. I still love the Amaro/Decker/Johnson trio of additions to the roster. Going to say again that I like the Dozier pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Lonelyhearts Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Here's the thing, there was a huge run on CBs in round 4, so my guess is that we had McDougle high enough on our board to where Idzik anticipated that happening eventually and decided to pull the trigger. And that's cool, but there was enough other talent left on the board at that point in the 3rd where that strategy clearly wasn't worth it. When we picked McDougle there hadn't been a corner off the board since Baptiste to New Orleans in the second, and then afterwards nine came off in the fourth. Say whatever else you will about the pick, the Jets obviously loved him where they got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupz27 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Is it time to draft Mettenburgh (still don't know why he is available, must be some sort of black flag I haven't heard about)? Or maybe the QB from Oklahoma? Really Really Really want Dri Archer here, but I feel Saunders makes him not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say whatever else you will about the pick, the Jets obviously loved him where they got him. I disagree. This was always a draft that was very CB deep for rounds 4 and 5. And if the Jets really did love McDougle in that spot then we have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the value-add with McDougle, and what some of the intent was behind his drafting--is that Idzik has no intention of re-upping Kyle Wilson.

Il Mostro Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Are you being facetious? The guy is 5'9", DeSean Jackson is 6'. Tavon Austin is also tiny, but had 10 pounds on Saunders. He also had a fairly rough rookie campaign. Both those guys were a tenth of a second faster, too. If he's put on weight, great. Hope he can carry it and maintain his decent speed. Don't really see the fit outside of return man. Desean is not 6', unless he's grown since then. Most 2008 combine measurements had him at 5'10" and 168 pounds. To split hairs, I had seen him measured at both 5'9 3/4" and 70" (5'8"). These guys are the same size and weight coming into the league. And, Tavon Austin was a tad shorter -- and everyone was tripping on their dicks to trade up for him. Neither of those guys are limited to being return men.

You can get away with being <190 if you have surreal speed that prevents teams from pressing you. If you're small and can't run past NFL corners consistently, you're DOA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I think the value-add with McDougle, and what some of the intent was behind his drafting--is that Idzik has no intention of re-upping Kyle Wilson. McDougle is certainly not good enough to justify passing on Turner and Jackson and taking one of the other several CBs that went in the 4th, who are all better anyways. And healthier.

You are spot on. That is not such fall-back position in case he does to pan out playing outside -- which is essentially what happened with Wilson.

Every year there are ton of short, fast guys. Not all of them become Deseasn. Also lets not talk about Tavon like his first year was ground breaking.

ThisYearsModel Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Surprisingly, Rex appears to have had his way again with the draft. Defense in 2 of the first 3 picks. We get a nice TE prospect and then offensive scraps thereafter. Hopefully, one of those WR's can return kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
