Jetscode1 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 One more... Quote ordan Leggett TE Clemson TALENT ROUND 3 STRENGTHS Jordan reminds me a lot of Jared Cook. He has excellent athletic talent to block and catch the ball. He can play in a tree point stance on the line or as an H-Back blocking in space and when used on the outside as a receiver inside the fifty yard line he is difficult to defend. Jordan has the vision and run after the catch skills to be an impact offensive weapon for the team that selects him. He has those long arms and long legs that give him a big catch radios and makes it hard to cover him the deeper he is into his routes. With the right quarterback and in the right offensive system there is no reason why Jordan can’t become the impact player his talents suggest he should become if he starts paying attention to the details of his position. CONCERNS The talent is there, the lack passion, consistency and attention to completing his blocking assignments is also there. He does a good job of gaining leverage and getting into his blocks quickly but seems to lack the passion to follow through and stay with his blocks although he very really gets penalized for holding and that is a positive…I guess. BOTTOM LINE What can I say; when this kid turns it on he’s as good as the top Tight End in this draft. When he makes his blocks fully he’s one of the best blockers in this draft. It doesn’t matter where he lines up, on the line, in the backfield, out on the edge; anywhere, he has the talent to compete an impact in the passing game. So what do you do with a player who has talent and has played at a pretty good level for his college team but really should have been more constant and more impact because he lacks the attention to detail? You draft him and hope for the best. He seems like a good kid and maybe he just was overwhelmed by all of the positions and responsibilities in this offense. This is why you have scouts and this is why you trust them to get you all the information along with their opinions. I know I would. When Jordan plays well he is very good, when he doesn’t… he is average. Drew Boylhart MAR.2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Supposedly the kid can't block. That's a big minus. Same problem Gronk had before he buckled down and became one of the league's best blocking TEs. Let's get him on Gronk's program ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a dynamic pass catcher and playmaker... If they can get him to just be a decent blocker, this is an absolute steal. He's that good catching footballs. He's a big time mismatch.

If they can get him to just be a decent blocker, this is an absolute steal. He's that good catching footballs. He's a big time mismatch. A lot of TEs are subpar blockers in college. Putting up receiving numbers is what gets you drafted, and that's what they work on more. I can hardly blame them. Since we're not talking about left tackles, among TEs/WRs/RBs, blocking is a mindset. He doesn't need to pancake his man or bulldoze a path through a LB and two DBs to be an adequate-enough blocker. I think being a "dynamic pass catcher and playmaker" is a far harder skill to teach, to the degree that it's even teachable. He'll either be a willing blocker or he won't be. These guys are all athletic enough if the desire is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaJetsFan Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Jordan is from the town I live in in Florida. He's a real solid young man. I've watched him grow since high school. This is a VERY good pick at the right time. I was hoping we'd wait and take him instead of Howard. Don't over react to the Kellen comparison - this kid is gonna be very good for the Jets!!

Leggett was a steal. I would have preferred to draft Butt because he is a better all around player and his injury issue isn't a big deal for a team not ready to compete. But landing Leggett in the 5th was a nice surprise for 2 reasons. First, he isn't a good blocker and second he isn't a player that gives it all on every play. But when he plays hard he certainly is a potent weapon in the passing game which is why the Kellen Davis comp is a little baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 He caught 70 passes out 70 attempts, how the hell can he be likened to Kellen Davis, and he can't block? You can at least teach a guy to use his body to cut people off, you can't teach natural athletic ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas2No99 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 "Lazy Leggett" is the term I keep reading when looking him up. The physical talent is undeniable, but it's a material Red Flag if a NatlChamp & 2 time Mackey Award Finalist TE falls to the fifth and is selected AFTER players from Ashland, FIU, South Alabama, and a Torn ACL Michigan TE. Is it REALLY THAT questionable of a motor and desire to play the sport at the professional level that caused him to fall that far? I hope not, but what I've come across indicates otherwise; I sense a tease of a pick that won't produce despite sheer physical talent mandating otherwise.
