RoadFan Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I am on board with drafting perimeter players to help the offense. But next year needs to focus on the OL after taking a QB at the top. WRs are not particularly effective for a young QB if he has no time to throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That alone was a fireable offense. Passing on Derek Carr b/c he already had Geno was also brilliant. Oh, I miss those days. This stings a little less these days, considering the current GM drafted a QB who apparently needed to be locked in a closet for a whole season, then passed on three different QBs in the 1st and 2nd rounds the next year so he could take two safeties.

Seriously this group is quite overhyped for what is a rather weak group today. SOJF. Overkill to say the least which makes the draft of 2 wr's and a TE that cant block incredibly mind boggling. Enuwa is a lock and has progressed fantastically. Anderson is raw but is stupid fast and has potential to make a big mark. Peake, who was one considered a top draft pick also is extremely enticing. He is fast, has great size and if he can keep his head on straight would be a big plus to the wr's clan. I really like the addition of KD Cannon. I wanted the Jets to draft him and lo and behold we were able to scoop him up. Really excited to see him play. The Stewart pick on the other hand was very disappointing as was the Legget pick. So yes and no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 On 5/15/2017 at 8:51 AM, JetNation said: By Glenn Naughton The New York Jets may not have a franchise quarterback on their roster right now, but if they do manage to snag one in the 2018 draft as many fans are hoping, the moves they’ve made this season and last, could benefit any future signal caller for years to come. Charone Peake is one of the many young receivers who will be battling it out in camp this season. This is not a dismissal of the potential of current QB Christian Hackenberg, but an acknowledgement that what he showed last year gave onlookers little reason to believe he’ll be the answer at quarterback for the franchise moving forward. Of course fans are free to hope Hackenberg can be great, but how many of us remember hoping that John Idzik was going to be a master deal-maker, and that Geno Smith, another second round QB, was going to end the team’s decades-long drought at quarterback? So much for that. With the addition tight end Jordan Leggett and a pair of wide receivers in ArDarius Stewart and Chad Hansen in the NFL draft, followed by undrafted free agent additions Gabe Marks and KD Cannon, the Jets currently have a total of 21 wide receivers and tight ends to audition in training camp, with Eric Decker being the only one with 8 pro seasons under his belt. Behind Decker, there’s Quinton Patton and Quincy Enunwa, with five and four pro seasons respectively, as the elder statesmen of the group. In all, the Jets currently have sixteen receivers and tight ends with fewer than five years of pro experience. That’s a lot of young talent to mold and evaluate. Should he stick around, Eric Decker will be expected to play the role of mentor when camp kicks off this season. In looking up and down the list of receivers and tight ends, you see that it’s a versatile and potentially deep group with speedsters such as Robby Anderson, Charone Peake, and Cannon, along with Enunwa and Stewart adding physicality at the position. Decker’s veteran savvy could prove critical in the development of some of the youngsters. and his route-running is second to none. At tight end, there are two big question marks in Leggett and last year’s in-season addition, Austin Seferian-Jenkins. Both have the skills to be legitimate threats in the passing game, but neither has much interest in blocking opposing defenders, which could limit what the team does if they had any interest in using both players in any two TE sets. One player worth keeping an eye on is Braedon Bowman, a young H-back/tight end out of South Alabama as Bowman may not have the ideal size to play in line at 6′ 4” 244, but he has good hands and is more than happy to mix it up with opponents as a blocker. He’ll have an uphill battle with so many options on the roster, but the aforementioned Gabe Marks is another Gabe Marks caught 28 TD passes in his final two seasons at Washington State. youngster who may not have elite speed at 4.56, but he shows excellent hands and quickness in and out of his breaks. He may find a way to stick as a slot receiver this season. In the end, what matters most is that the training camp battle at wide receiver should be one of the best in camp, with a pair of quality pass catchers to throw in to the mix at tight end. We’ve seen time and again that today’s NFL is all about having a quarterback who can sling it. Without one to turn to, the effort being made by the Jets to have the pieces in place for that quarterback, should they ever arrive, is probably the next best thing.
