KRL Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 The NFL site has begun to compile reports on the prospects in this year's draft: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/tracker?icampaign=draft-sub_nav_bar-drafteventpage-tracker#dt-tabs:dt-by-position/dt-by-position-input:qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hopefully the Jets use these guides and do their due diligence on scouting and drafting players we need that will make an immediate impact no more projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetFaninMI Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I love Corey Davis. I would not take him at 6 though. With his ability I don't see him lasting until the Jets pick in the second round. Fournette has ability but for some reason I don't like the guy enough to pick him. Just a gut feeling. Trubiskey, Kizer, and Watson will most likely be gone when the Jets pick. If Mac really is committed to Hack I don't see him picking a QB in the 1st round anyway. It all depends on what the bears do. If the Bears go the FA route with their QB situation one of those guys could fall to the Jets. I'm betting it will be Kizer though and it will take a good QB coach to groom him. Not a good prospect with the coaching staff fighting for their job's this season. All in all I'm not optimistic about the coming season but I'm a Jet Fan. Need I say more? LOL.

KRL Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Incredible depth at OLB, CB & S we need to take advantage of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32EBoozer Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Well it appears as if the OL prospects are not of the immediate starter variety which sucks!! Good depth in this draft, but other than Fournette there are few offensive players head and shoulders above any other. Jets once again miss out on a start studded draft.

NYDreamer Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Interesting grades: Myles Jack is # 1 prospect with a 7.6... Fournette is 2nd with a 7.1 if he makes it past Jacksonville, could be a choice for the Jets. Williams comes in at 6.8 grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams comes in at 6.8 grade thinking the same thing about myles. i don't know if these grades across positions can be compared but he is graded higher in relation to the 2nd guy by the greatest differential. interesting that leo had a similar grade differential and the highest grade in 2015 as did tunsil in 2016. fyi myles jack has one of the highest scores and differentials.

Dupe Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Fournette and offensive line help would really benefit a young quarterback. If this assessment is true, we've never had a back like this. And don't tell me of Hector or Riggins. Martin was a completely different, cutback, shifty runner. NFL Comparison: Bo Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL Comparison: Bo Jackson image: http://walterfootball.com/images/fball/jetsb_logo.gif New York Jets: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU image: http://walterfootball.com/college/LSU_logo.gif I've been slotting Mitch Trubisky here for a while now, citing some news story that the Jets had interest in him. Charlie Campbell squashed those reports in his Senior Bowl Rumor Mill. The scuttlebutt is that Christian Hackenberg has developed well behind the scenes, so perhaps the Jets won't give up on him without seeing him play after all. If this is true, Leonard Fournette suddenly becomes the favorite for this pick. The Jets don't have a viable starting running for the future, and Fournette is a stud. Fournette is considered the top running back prospect since Adrian Peterson, as he's received higher grades than Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliott. He was slowed by an injury in 2016, but his tape in 2015 was some of the best a running back prospect has ever displayed.

I agree. 100%. I will say though that A LOT of the "Compares To:" should not be taken seriously and are completely inaccurate. Having said that. Fournette DOES look like a special talent at RB the likes of which we have not seen in a long time. He is like a faster version of E.Elliott. Now, I'm ot saying he will turn into the same type of player at the NFL level or that he will be as productive or that he will not be mired by injuries. But purely talent-wise, he is exceptional.

I agree RE: the Jets not going QB in the first round (even in a trade down scenario). Unless they absolutely fall in love with someone, it simply does not make sense with the current QB situation (Hack and Petty). But if Kizer, Watson and Trubinsky all go ahead of the Jets, this really works in the Jets favor. Why? It means either Hooker, Allen, Garrett or Fournette will be available. ELITE talents. Pretty much as sure fire as it gets in this draft. Now, I personally believe there will only be ONE QB taken in the top 5. And it will be SF going after Trubinsky. My Prediction: 1. Garrett- CLE 2. Trubinsky- SF 3. Allen- CHI 4. S.Thomas- Jax 5. Hooker- TENN 6. Fournette- NYJ (but I could easily slot Fournette to Jax and the Jets will be in a tough spot either trying to trade down if a teams wants Kizer or Watson OR taking Barnette or J.Adams or another prospect who you would not quite consider top 5). But if it turns out the way you are suggesting...this is what I see happening. And it works out nicely for the Jets. 1. QB- CLE (Watson) 2. QB- SF (Trubinsky) 3. QB- CHI (Kizer) 4. Allen- Jax (they could go Garrett or Fournette but Allen makes much more sense and you can't go wrong with the value either). 5. Garrett- Tenn (Tenn wants Hooker, but they can't pass on the Leonard Williams of the 2017 draft) 6. Jets can go Fournette or Hooker and I would be very much happy with either pick. But the reason this works out for the Jets is that if Jax or Tenn decide to take anyone else, the Jets will have an opportunity to take Garrett or use Allen as trade bait- or even take Allen and have no qualms about trading Richardson or maybe even Wilk. It just gives them more options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepPep Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I know a lot of Jet fans who want us to draft offense will get io me for this. But PLEASE trade down with the Browns, get their 12th pick. Take S.Jones- CB, Washington at 12, take T.Mckinley-OLB/Pass Rusher, UCLA or C.Harris- DE/Pass Rusher, Miss. in the 2nd round. Use the Browns second round pick (added via trade- first pick in rd. 2) to draft Garrett Bolles- OT, Utah. Boom! Done. Take BPA the rest of the way. Draft 5 kickers for all I care (JK). This would help in solving 3 major problems- secondary, lack of pass rush, OT. I love all these prospects, and the Jets would be fairly lucky to get all of them. But, in this scenario, its not unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
