UnitedWhofans Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Mac is on NYJ.com explaining his tradeback philosophy. Basically a value-tier philosophy which tells him he can move back and get a player of equal value from his tier at 82 that he can at 70, so his preference is to add more picks. Tantrum fans should check this out. Isn't it nice to have somebody mature in charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Strong can burn too...but I'm warming up to it. Low production WR's just never seen to pan out in the NFL. Makes me a little nervous. His senior year numbers are eerily similar to Stephen Hill's, just with more TD's, granted a lot. Those types of guys always make nervous in the NFL. Is he a return guy too? Geez,as it turned out we traded our 3rd round pick for Strong. Kind of would have rather we took Strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlue Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 The Jets got them a stud in the 3rd round......and they got two xtra picks and a player. The Jets have arrived as an organization. THIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoot-Face Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Hearing about how bad Maudlin wants it, how hard he works, and how much effort he puts in on the field, I'm remined of Curtis Martin's Hall of Fame speech. Martin was saying that he wasn't always the strongest or the fastest player on the field, but he simply wanted it more. He built his HoF career on sheer deterination and grit. I believe this kid will do the same. EDIT: I don't mean to say I think Maudlin is HoF bound, just that he will build his career with the same hard work and determination as Martin.

UnitedWhofans Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Why are people in love with Strong and Harold, Wasnt impressed by Strong's tape. Didn't show speed to me. As for Harold, the main difference I could see between him and Mauldin is that Mauldin had a lot more strip sacks which is a key skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 No obvious about it, could have been planned or desperation. And yeah it's real tough to catch Louisville and Virginia games, they are in real remote conferences Which is why I'm completely dumbfounded you would have such a strong opinion on it. I love reading up on all the available research as much as any layman fan and as much college football I watch I'm in the same boat besides a few Louisville games.... and I can't for the life of me figure out WTF half this board is crying about Eli ******* Harold over Lorenzo Mauldin.

Integrity28 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Bowles = zero concern about 40 speed, he thinks Mauldin plays more like a 4.6 guy, likes his technique and tenacity. Sounds like they got sniped on Harold, Duke and the other 81 picks before this one, and were completely unprepared and just threw a dart. Where's that guy with the billboards?

As for Harold, the main difference I could see between him and Mauldin is that Mauldin had a lot more strip sacks which is a key skill. I went out of my way to watch everything I could find on Strong leading up to the draft and watched a couple live games over the season. And, honestly, the guy had a defensive back hanging off his hip every catch unless by scheme in soft coverage over the middle. He has tremendous body control and really strong hands...ok, did sorta remind me of an NFL poor mans version of Michael Irvin at ASU....but the ******* dude couldn't separate in college. Hows he gonna in the NFL. He was a fit for a team looking for a red zone/possession #2....Houston is a good fit. Jets got a blazing fast kid who can take the top off defenses with great hands.

I'm going to work harder than hard." #nyj Now if you hate this pick after reading this, you have no heart and you can go to hell Some folks are gonna hate regardless; I say **** 'em.

I watched the same EXACT sh*t last year on this board and didn't say a thing. In "idzik I trust" , people defending his choices left and right until 6 of them didn't even make it through training camp. There are a few posters on here still sniffing the glue on the new regime who would defend ANY decision they made, personally I would have been happy to keep the pick we had and taken a different player. A lot of talent went by as we dropped, I have seen Harold make plays and felt he was a steal in the third, I could care less if we got maudlin right at the 3 rd round borderline. We will see next season who plays better and personally I could give a rats ass about mauldins backstory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way people are reacting to the move-back also reminded me of the Gocong thing, but for a different reason -- it's an example of people going bonkers over a mid-tier talent who, if you go by the odds of what happens to third-round picks, will likely not be an impact player. Fact is, the Jets might have Mauldin rated higher than Harold, in which case the trade makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Just saw some videos of Mauldin literally swallowing Duke Johnson at the line of scrimmage multiple times and sacking Jameis. He seems to get off the edge quickly and follows through with his tackles. Not sure how well he is at dropping back into coverage? Or if he needs his hand in the dirt or not? Seems to play with a major chip on his shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sounds like one's an underachiever with good production and the other is an overachiever with good production. One thing I like on a lot of Mauldin's stuff is that "he plays a lot faster than his paper numbers...plus he has all the intangibles you want." to paraphrase. In the third round, I'll take it.
