The issue I have with takes like these is these guys do not have the same information that someone like a Douglas does: for example the Vikings took Darrisaw but he's actually a risky pick because of red flags. Also, someone like a Teven Jenkins (who was mocked to the Jets quite a bit with that 23rd pick) came across as dumb as a box of rocks in his pre-draft interviews. Like these other players are not gold chip standard prospects like AVT; yes, in trading up you lose those draft picks which sucks but in exchange you get the surety of having the most "fool proof" line prospect in the entire c

If we don't trade up AVT would be a Raider. I think its also obvious, looking at the lack of consensus with these picks across the NFL, that there is a lack of depth in this draft. I think trading up to get the best guard and losing picks that in other drafts might be the equivalent of 4th rounders is good business, but that's just my take on it.

Next years draft is a LOT deeper, by a huge factor, with a lot of the college returnees due to covid. I'm very happy to keep next years pick/s.

I think its pretty clear we traded up to get above the Raiders to get this guy.

I think also Becton's off/on season due to injury should lean us toward a player who can potentially play inside or outside along that O line.

Both cuts save them something like $18 million against the cap? They're still over it BTW.

I think its obvious they're going to plough a lot of draft capital into their O line now. They'll go early and often there fa sure.

Chiefsplanet in a bit of a meltdown over this, but it saves them a big amount on the cap, even if they're still over it.

That's very harsh. You can criticize Darnold for his play but he's really been an exemplary citizen while part of the Jets organisation. He's a bad player but a good person.

Apparently, according to Tony Pauline, feeling around the league is he'll be traded. Makes the most sense for Joe Douglas. This is the key decision of Douglas' tenure....rolling with a new QB does buy Douglas another year's time feasibly if Darnold keeps up his horrid play of the last few years.

Pauline reporting Jets interested in Tray Hendrickson @ ~ $13 mill per, and that around the league some people think the best approach for Joe Douglas is to trade Darnold and roll with Wilson as QB.

Mmmm, probably need to put the building blocks in place first. We had a pro-bowl RB last season, running behind a fairly trash O-line. You can have a mediocre RB look awesome behind a great O line.

Gase was treated very well by management here: many other franchises he would have been fired mid-season. There were also no stories leaking of ownership/management being unhappy with him. I think the way he was treated will reflect very well on the Jets with prospective coaching candidates.

So where will the pick fall if the Seahawks lose? I guess dependent on other results tomorrow?

Not really seeing the connection, TBH. Outside of skin color and the fact they both play/ed the same position.
