Kiper's 3 Round Mock for Jets as GM


prime21

Recommended Posts

Kiper is playing GM for all 32 teams.  Here is what he has for the Jets

 

New York Jets

Top needs: QB, OLB, OL, RB

Round 1 (6) WR Kevin White, West Virginia
Round 2 (37) OLB Eli Harold, Virginia
Round 3 (70) QB Garrett Grayson, Colorado St.

Analysis: Yes, it would be nice to have Marcus Mariota fall to us at No. 6. But we're not going to pay a huge bounty like Washington did to move up for Robert Griffin III when I'm not convinced Mariota is a starter for us in 2015. I just think it's too much of a long-term setback, and I feel like even adequate play from either Ryan Fitzpatrick or Geno Smith makes us pretty competitive in 2015 because I think the defense can be special. So in adding White, I'm getting a weapon I can pair with Brandon MarshallEric Decker and Jace Amaro in the passing game. On paper, I now have a balanced and dangerous receiving corps. In Round 2, I'm getting Harold as a shot-out-of-a-cannon pass-rusher to complement the power components across my defensive line. Calvin Pace is 34, and Harold can make some plays in a limited role this coming season. In Round 3, I'm taking a shot on a good developmental QB. Grayson won't play early, but we don't have to rush him.

 

 

I am happy with the first two picks but not sure about the 3rd because there should be some good position players available.    I would like a rb in the 3rd but can we hold off until the 4th for a developmental QB?  Not sure.

LIke the posters above, I'm very good with the first 2.  Not crazy about any of the second tier QB's, but seemingly we are going to get one in the 1st 3 rounds. 

 

Better the 3rd round then using a 2nd rounder who will never see the field

 

 

 

GO RANGERS

Does Kiper have Cooper going off the board before White, or is White the top ranked WR?  From what I've seen and read I'd take Cooper over White...

 

I think its a pretty safe bet that Oakland takes a WR so I would assume their pick was Cooper if we take White. I also wouldn't be surprised if the Redskins took a swipe at Cooper if Winston, Mariota, Williams, and Fowler are the first 4 off the board. should be an interesting draft and I could see a few trades happening in the top 10.

I'll add one more who's good with the first two picks and not so sure about Grayson in the third - though I would like to watch him a bit more since I know some people really like him. I'd actually be pretty thrilled if the first two rounds went like that. Couple of big time athletes.

 

My guess is that they'll take a tackle in the second round if they pick there which wouldn't be the end of the world. They really haven't worked out a lot of early second round type guys which is interesting.

Since we don't know who will be available at #6, I'll pick three player in order.

Rd 1 - Cooper WR/ Flowers OLB/ White WR

Rd 2 - Tre Jackson OG/ AJ Cann OG/ Dorsett WR

Rd 3 - Duke Johnson RB/ Jay Ajayi RB/ Tevin Coleman RB

Rd 4 - Best Player

Good on the first two picks. Not Grayson in the 3rd. I'm starting to like Mannion as much as or more than Grayson. So if we are picking a QB at least wait until the 4th

"Developmental" QBs are worthless. Barring the exceedingly rare fluke... their ceiling is a journeyman vet like Fitzpatrick. Some become average backups after failing as a starter. Most never see the field.

Total waste of time and investment. Mariota, who is worth the above, or nobody.

Rd one Trey flowers?  That's right out of left field.

Russell wilson was a developmental QB.  To a lesser extend Rogers and Brees were as well.  Brady certainly was.

Its Winston, Mariota, Leonard, Cooper and Fowler before the Jets pick.

Ugh.... No.

Wilson falls into the exceedingly rare fluke category.

Rodgers was a 1st rd pick who some though should have been taken #1 overall. The fact that he sat behind Favre for years does not mean he wasnt a great prospect. He was probably ready to play long before he saw the field. GB pulled the trigger because he was too good to pass even though they didnt "need" him.

Brees was the 1st pick in the 2nd round.

Brady the rarest of flukes.

You really need to look at the collection of crap taken after round 1 over the past 25 years to understand the term "exceedingly rare." Plenty of articles out there about it.

You know who else were developmentals? McElroy, Clemens, Blake, Bollinger, Ainge, Clements, ... etc.

There is a big diffrrence between a quality prospect and developmental at QB. 1st round prospects hit probably around 35% with a higher rate at the top of rd 1 closer to 45%. These are educated guesstimates.

Approximately 99% trash for developmentals.

Yes, I'll be hoping that Oakland takes White

 

The dream scenario is Mariota falling to 6 and dealing him for Rivers, but if SD really wants Mariota, I expect they go to 2 to get him

Thanks. So I guess the question when assessing Kiper's process would be to measure the drop off between a guy like Beasley at 6 vs. Harold at 37 and then compare that to White at 6 vs. guys like Perriman or Strong who could be there at 37.

Wilson falls into the exceedingly rare fluke category.

 

Well that makes it easy, any pick that does not fall into your comment goes into the fluke pick area.  He was drafted in the 3rd round with the thought he was going to develop at some point in time.  If you were the Hawks GM you would not have drafted him.

Rodgers was a 1st rd pick who some though should have been taken #1 overall. The fact that he sat behind Favre for years does not mean he wasnt a great prospect. He was probably ready to play long before he saw the field. GB pulled the trigger because he was too good to pass even though they didnt "need" him.

 

Rogers sat behind Favre for 2 or 3 or 4 years, that makes him a developmental QB.

Brees was the 1st pick in the 2nd round.

 

Yeah he was and he ended up being an all pro, perhaps you need to define your 'if not picked early don;t bother statement.

Brady the rarest of flukes.

 

Yes and if the Pats had not bothered drafting a Qb they wouldn't have him.  The point is, is you don't have a franchise Qb you should always be looking for one at least that can give you a chance.  The ideal situation is to identity the franchise guy and go up and get him but even that does not work. (See RG3)  So you keep picking them at some point in the draft.

You really need to look at the collection of crap taken after round 1 over the past 25 years to understand the term "exceedingly rare." Plenty of articles out there about it.

The %'s are the same for almost any position, this is not unique to QB.  QB just happens to be by far the most important position on a team.  It's bizarre that the mentality in this league is to only worry about the starter at QB when people go all in for development and depth of other positions.

 

Hey, I've said if before this draft just sucks for QB's, really lousy.  Still I endorse taking a chance on a mid to late round Qb just as much as a mid to late round player at any other spot.

Russell wilson was a developmental QB.  To a lesser extend Rogers and Brees were as well.  Brady certainly was.

The difference with those guys was that they were studs, but had that BUT issue.

Wilson and Brees were top 5 picks but they were too short. They had the top level attributes in other places.

These guys like Petty are just average talents, there's no BUT.

Petty was an average talent coming out of high school went to the best offensive mind in college and blew up. But he's still just an average talent.

Like when you hear things like if Grayson just went to Bama or OSU, he'd be a top pick. No, theres a reason those schools didn't recruit guys like him.

This is not really a fair discussion because we KNOW the guys i listed are good and unless you made these evaluations of them all before hand it's not a proper comparison.  I'll say one thing, if you never draft a 'developmental' Qb after round one you will never find one of these after round one gems.

Rd 4 - Best Player

Dorsett cant catch a cold. Reminds me of an old timer, Jimmy Hines. Fastest guy in the NFL but couldn't catch a ball if his life depended on it.

A couple of pretty good RB's being passed over in Rd 3 (Ajayi and Abdullah) for a developmental QB?  Not sure about that one...

Wow.... Keiper has Armstead going @ 15.  As TB GM I traded up and snagged him at 29.

 

As far as Jets, I agree with Peekskill and take the RB's over Grayson.

If you never play the lottery... you wont win it either. The odds of actually winning are astronomical. Everything is about odds. History shows that the odds of early 1st rd QB success is decent. Odds of mid-late 1st rounders are OK and justifiable.

Playing the QB lotto after the 1st round, early 2nds like Brees NOT included, is almost flushing picks down the toilet. Playing the real lotto is truthfully flushing $$ down the toilet.

But hey... maybe the Jets 4th rd QB pick becomes a 7 year backup... yippeee! Which is honestly the most realistic hope one can have.

Utter nonsense, once again a response WAY over the top, if you made lotto odds much much much more reasonable your point would have any weight.

 

Also this thought that taking QB's is a wasted pick vs any other position is bizarre.  ALL positions bust, your odds of getting starters or good back ups increase the higher you pick them. 

 

This is especially ridiculous considering the importance of the position.  It's a horrible crime to throw away a pick on a late round Qb but it's just fine to draft some jag Wr, ot, TE, dlineman.

 

There have also been a LOT of 1st round Qb busts.  So the question is where do you get your QB from?  Andrew Lucks come around once every 10 years.

Dude seriously, you might want to get those eyes checked.   He has had a few drops but you are WAY exaggerating when you say he can't catch.

I think the argument is getting skewed. QB's taken after the second round are rarely expected to be starters. Once in a while a team gets lucky, or an unforeseen injury catapults a back up into starter status and he thrives. If the Jets are looking to improve their depth at QB (i.e., improving on Simms) they are perfectly okay to draft a guy like Mannion in the 4th (they have no 5th) or, if they see some NFL level talent, a Grayson or Garrett. If they are looking to land Russell Wilson, the odds against that are indeed incredible, Brady? wildly improbable. Those are almost of the nature of miracle picks. Because QB's always get relatively higher valuation, almost any QB with a modicum of talent will go higher that other positions. That's the nature of the beast.
