Keepers From Last Years Draft

[TNJet]

I think the jury is obviously still out on most of these guys we drafted.

 

1. Pryor S

2. Amaro TE

3. Shaq Evans WR

4. Dakota Dozier G

5.  IK Enempkali OLB/DE

6. Trevor Reilly OLB/DE

7. Dex McDougle CB

 

The rest were cut way too soon imo. Saunders had a 95 yd kickoff return for the Saints 2 weeks after Idzik's dumbass cut him. He gave up on him way too early only because of a muffed punt in a game this season. And he was only a rook...c'mon man!

 

Interestingly enough, Dex, Shaq, and Dozier didn't see the field. I am eager to see what they can do because as bad as I hate to admit it if these guys end up making the roster and contributing which is very possible, Idzik's draft will be able to save some face. I think we really found a diamond in the rough in IK Enempkali, dude is super fast and plays similar to Terrell Suggs. Had a couple sacks in preseason and 1 in the regular season in place of Coples.  Just think at 6-1 and in need of WR depth Shaq Evans could turn out to be a stud.

Why not?

Exactly. Theres no proof that they won't be probowlers or hall of famers yet. Never know.

I liked the Jalen Saunders pick. Not saying that we should have overlooked other talent for him, just saying that since he was already a Jet we should have given him the opportunity to show and prove, though with that cast of coaches we had, he would have never succeeded. I think Idzik released him based on that medical incident on the highway. other than that I really didnt understand the release. he was a 4th round pick at a position of need and your other two WR's drafted were either on IR or the practice squad. I dont think Saunders release was all about his football ability unfortunately. I really thought highly of idzik, but it was more me hoping that he would get things right, rather than me seeing a resume of him actually doing things right. 

 

Atleast he freed up the cap! 

[papz187]

I just hope Pryor can learn to take better angles when in pursuit, and then hopefully he can start making plays.....it is such a kick in the balls when a first rounder doesn't pan out.

Bowles was a NFL safety himself and the "quarterback of the secondary" for Washington....so hopefully he can get the most out of Pryor.

I think he will. He'll be an upgrade for that entire secondary given the fact that he knows first hand the trials of being a player. He's going to be able to relate and in return they'll respond. 

[TNJet]

Word Papz, Bowles also can help out Dex and Milliner.

[BroadwayJoe12]

I liked Shaq Evans a lot coming out: dude is pretty rocked up at 6'1 215 and was highly recruited by most of the big time programs. After he transfered from ND to UCLA he became Hundley's favorite target.  Is one of those guys (like Sammie Coates this year) who can make amazing catches look routine, but then will have some egregious drops due to lack of concentration. He has all the attributes you want in a possession receiver who can beat zone-coverage and be your Jarvis Landry type, not sure about beating press-man consistently.  He and Quincy are definitely worth keeping and hoping one of them sticks.

 

Dozier is a Tackle converting to Guard, so him not seeing the field is not too surprising, but he was a hot topic at the senior bowl and combine.  I was hoping they'd give him a shot instead of Colon towards the end of the season, but we know with Rex that was never gonna happen.  I for one am extremely stoked to see Colon's ass off the line. Could certainly do without his obligatory holding penalty on 1st down in the red-zone every game.

Haha I agree 100% about Colon. He is obviously the most overrated we have. I personally love the Idea of a Winters and Aboushi guard tandem. And Quincy Enunwa is history isn't he? After a supposed assault charge??

Charges were dismissed as there was nothing to them it seems, he was activated for the last game or two, but not sure if he saw the field at all. He's another dieseled-up receiver who was making some splash towards the end of camp, it'd be nice if one of the two could see some action this year.

I know I actually liked him better than Shaq from film I saw. Very bulky wr.

[SenorGato]

I'm expecting Pryor, Amaro, and Dozier to do good things.

[Shockwave]

I think Pryor will be a total bust. I cant see him starting long especially when the HC and GM that drafted him are gone. Same with Amaro. Hated him and Pryor in the draft and still do. Amaro isn't a good blocker and is a JAG receiver with spotty hands. You can't have a guy that consistently drops balls that hit his hands. 

 

As far as Evans and Enunwa - We will be lucky if one makes the roster next year. 

 

I do think there is some hope for the rest of our guys though. I like Dozier, and IK and am hopeful for Mcdougle.

One of our worst picks in a long time. 

 

The guy will never be a NFL receiver. We drafted a return specialist in the 4th round and he will never even be a top 5 return guy. Just a terrible pick and a guy that wont be the NFL long. When the Saints receivers are healthy he will likely be released before next season starts.

Through the first half of the season, PFF had Amaro ranked as the 17th best tight end in the league, hardly a JAG.  The team went away from him once Geno was benched and Vick started, just as he strung together a nice 6 game stretch of 29 catches for 280 yards and a td.  Rookie tight ends are notorious for taking a long time to develop and while his progression was stunted when Vick came in, the kid has a lot of positive traits to build on.

A fourth round pick that didn't pan out for us as it did the saints is considered one of the worst picks in a long time. You obviously listen to others lol.  for the record, those type of statements need time to be relevant, not 16 weeks and another team getting more out of our draft pick than we did. 

[DaBallhawk]

Not sure about Reilly & Evans but the rest is almost a lock to not only make the team but contribute in a lot of ways. IK is my sleeper pick, I think he can nail down the starting job on one side at OLB. He reminds me a bit of a Elvis Dumervil / Justin Houston type. Hopefully he comes through and gets an opportunity to compete for a starting job, I like his upside. Shouldn't be that hard to pull off unless we bring in 1-2 bigname free agents. I don't see Pace returning and Coples will probably move back to DE.

[docdhc]

Chris Owusu looked great at the end of the year, he may be a better bet at 4th WR

[CotcheryifyouCan]

amaro will be very good imo. i was disappointed with pryor this year but im holding out hope that he improves after one year under his belt. the rest im not sure.  if evans or enuwa can produce, i think we are in better shape then most think . from watching highlights from enuwa, he kinda reminds me of boldin.  dex looked solid in preseason, lets just all pray he is not made of glass.

Gonna be hard to see IK starting if he's taking over from Pace, he is absolutely lost in coverage.  Love the kid's motor, ability to get to the QB and play the run, but he was pretty abysmal the time or two I saw him asked to drop back. I do agree that he's gonna be a player, seems to have a nose for the ball. Still think if Winston or Mariota aren't there, Gregory, Beasley or Ray should be the pick; guys like Von Miller are usually only had in the top 5 or so and can absolutely transform the defense.

[Ohio State NY Jets fan]

Dixon played at the end of the year and seemed ok but that was on a bad secondary

 

Here is the complete list of 12;

1 18(18) C. Pryor DS Louisville

2 17(49) J. Amaro TE Texas Tech

3 16(80) D. McDougle DC Maryland

4 4(104) J. Saunders WR Oklahoma

4 15(115) S. Evans WR UCLA

4 37(137) D. Dozier OT Furman

5 14(154) J. George ILB Iowa State

6 19(195) B. Dixon DC Northwest Missouri State

6 33(209) Q. Enunwa WR Nebraska

6 34(210) I. Enemkpali DE Louisiana Tech

6 37(213) T. Boyd QB Clemson

7 18(233) T. Reilly OLB Utah

[faba]

I was disappointed Dozier did not get any time in games at the end of the year. Will like to see what progress or not he has made

[Beerfish]

Saunders had a 95 yd kickoff return for the Saints 2 weeks after Idzik's dumbass cut him.

 

So Rex had no part at all in who is on the roster.  lol

[JetsFanInDenver]

If you get 7 starters from a draft than the GM who drafted is a genius. Too bad we fired him.

 

Having said that i don't see Shaq Evans make it to the field unless he  finds better hands. That was waste of a 4th round pick. Bigger waste was the Saunders pick. You do not draft a midget at the top of the 4th round. He might have returned a punt for the Saints but 4th round for PR guy is too high. It's like drafting a kicker in the 2nd round. Not a smart pick by any means.

 

Dozier could very well end up being next year's Aboushi. I expect Amaro and Pryor to make strides in the right direction. McDougle showed flashes in the training camp and the one pre-season game he played. So he could comeback and contribute.

 

Beyond that its a crap shoot. Maybe we find one decent WR between Evans/Enunwa or one of the linebackers pans out.

Thought realizing Saunders was a "send a message to the team" move. If you do not perform you perish. I don't think he was straight away picked up by the Saints. One other team claimed him and released him. Even with the Saints if i recall correctly he was picked because their rookie slot receiver had a season ending injury. But i don't think Saunders still stepped on the field in the WR role. What a waste of a pick.

I dont know, I think that was a waste of a front office that made it a waste of a pick. Dude was on the team for less than a month in the regular season. He couldn't have been as bad as some have alluded. He was able to get on the field (special teams) for a coach who won a Super Bowl not too long ago yet couldn't simply stay on our practice squad? C'mon, this is the same team that not only drafted Stephen Hill but kept his ass on this team for years. 

[SoFlaJets]

One of the other things about this "house cleaning" is I truly HOPE that we have seen the end of the Jets keeping draftees around for the simple fact that they were drafted by the incompetent front office. Look what that gave us, years of guys like Vern and Vlad, Stephen Hill, and Joe McKnight and costing us some little white guy* who actually had talent and an NFL career. Say what we will about Bellichick and hate him like he deserves to BE hated, but one thing about him that I like; he will not suffer incompetence when it comes to draft picks. If they suck he WILL cut them and fast.

My Man IK....eh.....EHHH

 

Gonna be Pro Bowler

 

 

 

 

 

ps..

Don't let me down IK or I will turn on you so fast like a scorn woman...hell hath no fury like me!

[jorge o8]

i think Dozier is going to be good in another year the ones we drop the ball on are the ones that are gone Pryor should have been better but I guess maybe rexs system was a bit much for a rookie. Dozier had a mid 3rd round greade and we got him in the 4th and Reilly had also had mid 3rd to late 3rd and dropped because of injury

They wanted to make an example. Its not the question of if he was good or bad. He is a midget and midget's are not effective as WR's in the NFL. Horrible pick no matter which way you look at it.

Im guessing that was right after Amaros one good game of the season. You can't cherry pick stats. What was he after a complete season? Late 20's-30's? Thats the definition of a Jag. He has no where near elite speed or Yac either. Hes Just another guy. Drafting a receiving tight-end that can't block and drops balls that high is an issue. Its like drafting a secondary player that can't cover ( Pryor) or WR that can't catch like Stephen Hill. Its one of the biggest issues the Jets had in drafting the last few years - They take players that can't do the fundamental requirements of their position.
