Your opinion is solely based on emotion - the kid can play.

Culture rules all, it’s the main reason why I’ve shown appreciation to this regime. Not every pick is going to be a hit, what matters is that you manage the risk and I think they have done that very well.

Was thinking the same thing, the closing speed is impressive. Will be looking for him come pre-season.

Thought I saw a stat in another thread, or maybe PFF, that the Jets OL graded the best on zone running plays where first contact with the ball carrier was 2.2 yards down field.

Center was a disaster which is why it was probably addressed right away in FA, also most important as far as calls being made and communication, you can’t mess around here. Carpenter needs to be replaced before anyone else based on his salary and play. This doesn’t necessarily make his replacement a first round pick however. The next tackle replacement is the most important. You will ideally want a decade guy on Darnold’s blind side usually seen with an early pick. This would change the entire complexion of the line and Beachum would be canned or moved to the right side to fight with Shell.

I see you have predetermined on who to blame if Darnold doesn’t perform to your liking.

Quantity doesn’t necessarily equate at any position. Seattle has take the most OL since 2010 and have zero to show for.

Go back to the year the Jets drafted Lee, 5 OTs went before their pick. Every OT picked since then has been awful in the Pro’s.

Agreed. Mac is all about equity period. He is not desperately looking to save the franchise with every pick. I’m glad we finally have someone playing chess rather than looking for a checkers double jump with every move.

How about adding real talent early rounds next year and with another vet, to protect the kid when he actually plays.

If he even plays, 2 6th round OL will save him?

Undersized, sick ball skills

Was thinking the same thing

Jets gonna Jet and go CB?

Listen, you can route for the local kid as much as you want but to point he’s proved as much as a guy on any teams practice squad.
