We're so football obsessed that we put every single play under the microscope and if somebody decides they don't like a player, they ignore anything they do well and only want to talk about any flaws/imperfections in their game. Lee didn't have the impact many of us would have liked last season, but he did some things very well. It's not like the guy showed up and couldn't do anything right. He has some parts of his game that need work, but what rookie doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an expectation with first round picks that they'll also be special, game-changing players and there's nothing about Lee that suggests he'll ever be that.

He has one unique trait--foot speed--and literally nothing else. As I said, he's not perfect, but we did see him make some plays using a combination of anticipation and speed/burst to make a tackle. I'm not even saying he'll justify the first-round status, but to write him off after one season of so-so production is far too premature, but that's what we do nowadays. Picked in the first round but not perfect? Instant "bust" label. I don't think it helped that he was rarely called upon to get after the quarterback. Why not let him use a combination of his speed and stature/bend to get underneath blockers on the edge to get to the QB? Hoping we see more of that next season. All of that being said...I would've preferred a QB in that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Wow. had to be a disastrous crop of defensive rookies this year. Lee looked lost for most of the season and was routinely playing out of position and getting steamrolled. Congratulations I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Pro football is not a strap your chin strap rookie gonna ball league! LB is a position where knowledge let's you play fast. You don't get that knowledge overnight. Damn, it's just ridiculous this instant gratification group on here that tag guys busts before they're seasoned. Look around the league, no one even knew who freaking Collins was in his 1st year & than the Pats trade him in his 3rd and no can BELIEVE they traded such a great player? Guys make huge jumps in this league from year to year. Butler in New England was getting toasted in his time until he started learning the pro game & his position. Looked just like Lee, out of position, but then flashing a bit. I think Burris has a chance to be a very good #2 CB. If Malik Hooker drops to the Jets, the chance for us to add him to this young mix behind these LBs might be irresistible to Macc & Bowles. Some Jet fans might scream bloody murder but if could be our Thomas or Berry back there this D could be fun to watch over the next 5 years.

Our draft picks need to be pro bowlers in year one or else we are not happy. This is how every other team does it except us.

bostonmajet Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Was it a Tiny award? In all seriousness, he switched to LB late, and learning to cover is one of the hardest skills to master. And, he already has more sacks than the GHOST. Let's give him a year, but overall not a bad rookie season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedWhofans Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Linebacker: Darron Lee, New York Jets Draft position: Round 1, No. 20 overall. Like Jones, Lee is a linebacker who thrives in a game built on speed. He has a chance to be a future star. He finished with 73 tackles -- that's a lot of tackles for someone who started just nine times (out of 13 games). So Darron Lee, Deion Jones, and Leonard Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
