JetNation Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 First round draft pick Darron Lee – Some say he’s undersized. Others say he’s a chess piece for Coach Todd Bowles.

MaxAF Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 My impressions of Lee watching him in college I could see him going in the first round. Personally I'm glad the Jets picked him up. My observations watching preseason is he will have his hands full as a starter. Great speed. That is his #1strength that he brings to the LB squad. That was much needed. However, I witnessed missed tackles and on many plays he over pursued. He also got run over a few times. Being a rookie I expect that. Overall I believe he will have his moments of victory this year as well as moments of defeat. As long as he learns and keeps getting better I'm pleased with the pick. He should do well "for a little guy". ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 PFF did a "grading all the first round rookies in preseason" article https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-how-all-31-first-rounders-have-played-this-preseason/ It's very interesting that Lee missed 5 tackles and made 5 tackles. He's playing with speed for sure but also out of control. Rookie stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 He will make some big plays as advertised,my worry has always been what will he be doing when not making some big plays? Will he be on the sidelines half the time or more, will he be getting taken advantage of in a big way if he is out there in certain situations? In my mind he's going to have to make a ton of big plays to counter the other things. I didn't like either of the jets two 1st picks but I think Lee can contribute lot more than our 2nd rounder long term, still not a massive fan.

jetsjets Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Still not a fan of this pick. (Hate the 2nd pick even more) feel like he's over pursuing to make up for his lack of size and missing a lot of tackles. Also feel like you have to sit him on obvious power running plays. Hope I'm wrong, guys here seem to like him but as of now I still don't like the pick. For the record I would of went with Lynch and let him sit under Fitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then the other, Leonard Floyd, taken at #9, hasn't done much to stand out this preseason. Missed tackles seems like a very correctable problem. He's not LT, but you aren't getting LT at #20. If he solves our TE problem on 3rd downs, he's worth whatever we paid in picks and $ to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
