prime21 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 RB- Fournette, Cook WR - Williams, Davis TE - Howard CB - Lattimore S - Hooker, Adams We can argue what is the greater positional need but any of the above players selected would be a good pick for our needy team. The only one I questioned but then reversed my thought process was for Howard. I think about he can block for our young or old QB and then also be a threat in the passing game. All these players have the potential to be impact players for many years (you would hope as much for the 6th pick in the draft). Now if the Jets go out and select a QB then what? I wouldn't be upset at that either. Hack will probably be average at best IMO so the continuous search for a franchise QB must go on even if its rolling the dice. Our draft will be based on what happens after the 1st round. We really have to hope that the GM and scouting staff get us some players that can play and not try and hit home runs like they tried with HAck.

I said he will probably be average at best. This is an opinion and probably a favorable one since most think he is really bad. These forums are for many things including opinions.

Favorite_Toon Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 If we take another defensive player in the top ofnthe draft again I will lose it. Seriously enough with the cb lattimore talk because we lost revis thats what all these mocks day. Fournette >> Watson>>> Trubisky>>> Howard.

Fun Fact: Hack wasn't good enough to start in (or take a single snap) in a season where we simply didn't show up. So yeah, if it isn't the HC, then its the QB. Or a combination of both!

bitonti Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Adams should be off the board by 6 There's a very real chance Lattimore as well could go to Titans Howard could also rise past the Jets and go to TEN (who love TE and have an aging Delanie Walker) or Jacksonville (Who actually have a QB) Cook and both WR are not valued at 6. Fournette might actually be worth the pick and Hooker also fills a dire need. Of all the names you listed I'd say these two, plus Trubisky are the most likely picks for this team at 6.

ChuckkieB Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 The Jets need to take an player on offense in the first round, preferably a QB or RB. I would be extremely happy with Fournette, Trubisky, or Watson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really have to hope that the GM and scouting staff get us some players that can play and not try and hit home runs like they tried with HAck. Though this mock is certainly going in the right direction, we desperately need to draft offensive line. We REALLY need it. This offensive line is complete patch work. If Hackenberg or any young qb is going to have any chance, this team needs to address the Oline first and foremost. I wouldn't mind Fournette, but Powell is good for us. If the Jets think Fournette is the next future HOF'er then draft him...but we need some Oline action at that 2nd pick, maybe even the 3rd. It's not a sexy pick, but next off-season we'll see the same issues with that line but will want to then draft a guy like Sam Darnold. It will be a waste if he's literally running for his life, similar to every starter we had last year. We need to build from the inside out. The longer we wait the longer it will take to actually develop a quarterback. A solid Oline will bring along a young qb much better than picking up a veteran qb for the purpose of mentoring. Oline.

Depends how scary good you think Howard can be. I've seen one analyst compare him to Gronk minus the injuries. If you truly believe that is his potential, i think you take him and don't look back. I get that it's silly season right now, where opinions on each player range from bust to instant all-pro; but if the Jets scouting dept. have a very high opinion on the guy, there's no reason not to take him, especially not some unwritten rule about positional value.

But to think that after Garrett that between - Thomas, Howard, Williams, Fournette, Adams, the QB's, Foster, Cook, Davis, Allen, Hooker,. etc - that there is no star in the group is just ridiculous. Sure, some of them will never live up to their billing but that's on the Jets to figure out. There is a star in that group, no doubt about it and picking #6 shouldnt be the reason you dont land one.
