Villain's First and only Mock Draft 2017.

[Villain The Foe]

The Combine is done, pro-days are pretty much done, major FA signings are done and that draft is 1 month away. 

Based on what the Jets have done in free agency as well as needs, this is what I would do this draft setting up for a rebound in 2018. Also, I have us trading down from the #6 pick, trading with teams like The Ravens (pick 16) or the Titans (pick 18) who are both looking for a CB's and WR's and will most likely have first dibs at either position at #6 overall. In return we get their 1st and 2nd round picks. 

 

 

Rd. 1 Christian McCaffery- RB: Stanford. He may not be considered the "Best in the class" but he's arguably the most versatile. He's a very good RB that great patience and vision behind the Oline, he's great on passing downs out of the backfield and can even line up as a WR. He also is a very good special teamer as a KR/PR...something the Jets are also lacking. 

Rd. 2 Obi Melifonwu- Safety: UConn. Lets be honest, Calvin Pryor isnt cutting it and Marcus Gilchrist may not ever be the same after his patellar tendon injury. I think Obi could play both FS and SS with the ability to be a day 1 starter as SS. Dude is a freak athlete as well and covers space quickly.  He also have the ability to be a situational Cornerback. Dude is versatile, strong, fast and is a mismatch. He has the physical ability of a SS, the tracking ability of a FS and the coverage ability of a CB. Oh, and he's a 6'4" freak athlete who was #1 this year within the Safety class in the 40 yard dash, the Vert Jump and the Broad Jump. He also had three less reps on the bench behind the #1 safety. 

Rd. 2 Garret Bowles- Offensive Tackle: Utah. Our future starting LT. Can sit this season, enter the weight training program...learn the game and be a back up for Kelvin Beachum. 

Rd. 3 Jon Toth- Center: Kentucky. Our future starting C. Can sit this season, enter the weight training program, learn the game and be a back up Wesley Johnson.

Rd. 3. George Kittle- Tight End: Iowa. Everyone is excited over OJ Howard, though in all honesty I think George Kittle would be the best fit for the NY Jets given their needs. Kittle is by far the best blocking TE in this draft class, but is also relevant in the passing game. Kittle is like having an extra lineman on the field, something that will most certainly help both the QB and the rushing attack. Kittle wont have to leave the field on passing downs. I believe that we can put him behind ASJ for a season and he could possibly be ready to become a starter in 2018. 

Rd. 5 Jalen Reeves-Maybin ILB/OLB: Tennessee. If not for his shoulder injury people would be talking more about Maybin. Dude is athletic, fast and instinctive. Very good at playing around the LOS, can run sideline to sideline and can provide pressure on the QB. Need a back up guy now that Erin Henderson is a free agent. We can have him back up Lee/Harris

Rd. 6 Ethan Cooper- Guard: Indiana-Pa. James Carpenter wont be around forever and this is just another opportunity to get guys into our program and develop them. Cooper has potential. 

Rd. 7 Zach Pascal- WR: Old Dominion. A WR that has shown talent catching the football and separating from his defender. We lost Brandon Marshall this year which means that Enunwa will be one of the starting WR's. Next year we will most likely move on from Eric Decker. Having a guy like Pascal on our PS could pay dividends in a year or two as a solid contributer. 

 

This mock isnt sexy, and it really isnt designed to be. Its purpose is to build from the inside out as well as to establish some skillset talent on the offensive side of the ball. If the Jets are seriously in a throw away year then that means next year we need to be prepared to bounce back. If we are picking a QB next year then that means we are most definitely moving on from Petty and Hack will be in a 3rd year as pretty much our back up. More importantly, picking a rookie QB means that you should have some key pieces in position in order to give that QB the best chance to succeed. This draft will help in that effort. We will have a young RB that can contribute on all 3 downs running and catching. We would have added a LT, Center and a guard ready to contribute along with guys like Brian Winters and Brandon Shell, and we would have added a TE that can stay on the field for all 3 downs that is a great contributer in the passing/rushing blocking game but can also provide 2-3 clutch catches per game. 

With that we've added some pieces to the defense which was a Safety that can take over for Calvin Pryor immediately and maybe even become an NFL level FS, while also adding a quality ILB/OLB that has the speed to play sideline to sideline, has great instincts and can pair up with Darron Lee when Harris either retires or is released next season. 

Next year we could give a drafted QB a revamped Oline, a quality WR corp, a solid TE and a versatile RB group in McCaffery/Powell.

This draft is big on potential but low on production . nI like the prospects, but I would have to see who was passed over for players like these .

I love George Kittle .

Bolles is going in the 1st round, possibly the first OT off the board, and does not need a NFL weight program, and sit for a year, he is a plug in RT year 1 starter, and can start at LT in a pinch, and will be a LT year 2.

This would be a great draft.  Just one question about Pascal, does he play special teams?

He has some kick return history in college but wasnt necessarily good. However, The Jets, Chiefs, Broncos, Redskins and Dolphins were at his Pro-Day to watch him perform, and from the report, came away thinking that he could contribute to special teams, though not sure in what capacity.

Coming off of their first bowl game invite and victory in school history, Old Dominion University received a healthy amount of notice from NFL scouts at their pro day with 16 teams in attendance, each one of which had their eyes on wide receiver Zach Pascal, towering defensive lineman Rashaad Coward, and quarterback David Washington.

Pascal, who was the first Old Dominion Monarch to receive an invite and compete at the NFL combine, got the nerves out of system in Indianapolis and came into the pro day fired up.

“Coming from the combine to now, it helps. You know what to expect and how to handle yourself around certain people. You learn to come out here and to have fun. The first day of the combine I was nervous, but no nerves today, I was ready.”

He was ready. Pascal wanted to improve on his agility and speed times from the combine which he did. His 40-yard dash was clocked in by some scouts at 4.48, an upgrade from his 4.55 at the combine; he improved his 3-cone time from 7.11 to 7.07.

He ended his career as the all-time receptions leader in ODU history with 233 receptions. In 2016 Pascal led the team with 65 catches for 946 yards and 9 touchdown receptions. He’s got nice size at 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, which is a trait most teams found attractive and a perfect fit for Dallas. He’s met with the Chiefs, Jets, Broncos, Colts, Dolphins, and Washington during the process. Those teams have identified him initially as a special teams player who could grow into a role within an offense.

What stood out most was his willingness to block. He doesn’t mind blocking safeties, linebackers, or whoever to create a lane. Pascal idolizes and models his game after Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant and it shows in the way he attacks the ball and the physicality he brings to the field.

Scouts generally came away impressed and saying he has potential to go in the fifth round, but is a late-round lock.

Here’s game film of Pascal against NC State from 2015.
