Three Jets trades so far;

1- Traded their third-round No. 70 overall pick to Vikings for their third-round No. 79 overall pick (drafted WR Ardarius Stewart) and their fifth-round No. 160 overall pick.

2 - Traded their third-round No. 107 pick to Buccaneers for their fourth-round No. 125 overall pick and their sixth-round No. 204 overall pick.

3 - Traded their fourth-round No. 125 overall pick to Rams for their fourth-round No. 141 and their sixth-round No. 197 overall pick.

This is dumb.  Dumb dumb dumb.

i get it.  but mccags clearly is going by his draft board.  he didn't want to pass on adams or maye, he picked maye as soon as they were on the clock.  today the draft grades are probably much closer together.  adams stood apart, and i have no issue drafting a guy at 6 who you think will be a star.  the jets need studs.

Thus far, it's legitimate to question Macc's ability to evaluate talent.  His record to date is not good outside "no brainer" picks like WIlliams.

We need bodies, I get that.  But 6th rounders are generally no better than UDFA's.  Upper 4th Rounders should be starters or borderline starters right off.

It's hard to see the gain of getting 4 nobodies in the 6th vs. a better starter in the 4th, but as other say, lets see how it plays out.

Keion adams. Josh Dobbs would make me happy

I purposely delayed my beer run for this.

I spent an extra 45 minutes in a bar in Jacksonville fing Florida digesting my brunch to wait for this pic

With all of these punks it almost makes sense to take one of these Qbs. We need a 4th Qb in camp anyways and it's worth it to take one. 

I agree. Try to catch lightning in a bottle by taking one of the available QB's.

Half of these back end picks won't even make the roster and maybe 1 or 2 will contribute on some minute scale. Brilliant. 

Yes. Of course... I never even heard of those bums we took in the 6th. Who were they again?

well, this is what bellichick has done for years, get more picks and play the percentages.  in a draft whose strength is supposedly depth, let's see what mccags can do.  two of his later round picks last year showed promise, and the jury is still out on hackenberg and smith.  

[Jackie Treehorn]

Just checked the roster and there is only one C there. That can't be right?

Jet fans are Gona complain regardless of what Mac did

There's a sucker born every minute

I don't think Macc is running this draft.I think it's the old Brooklyn Nets Gm, Billy King

And Bellichek has EARNED the right to be trusted in the draft.  Macc and Bowles have not, at all, in any way.

As we both say, lets see how it plays out.  We'll see how many starters we've got come opening day, the first real test of this draft class.

Thus far, I see one, two max.

No weapons just safeties

If we have every pick in the 6th round, we have to find Tom Brady, right?

We already have him. 

[Jetster]

This is what he's doing. Their grades on 4-6 are pretty much the same. If you think the top of our roster sucked last year, how about the bottom of the roster? There are a lot of jobs on the line in Florham Park come July.

Maybe, just maybe Macc finds a few diamonds in the rough. He did it last year. He's trusting in his scouts to cull some oysters guys and this is where great scouting comes into play. 

Its a good strategy as long as your coaching staff is able to do the same culling in camp & not let a Chrebet, Woodhead, or Edeleman type get away before you've developed them. Bowles scares me in this capacity but I do like some of the coaches they've brought in this offseason to assist him.

And a handful of Jets fans would argue that "since we don't have a QB, field position and the kicking game are at a premium for this team" if we drafted a punter in the 1st round and a kicker in the 2nd.

That's worth, like, two extra weeks in quarantine when you get back

both safeties are starting.  stewart will play, marshall is gone, decker had 2 surgeries and this kid may be ahead of devin smith.  and that's before these 7 picks today assuming they actually make them.

It appears as though their grades on 1-6 are all the same

McCown surrounded by all inexperienced and rookie WR's sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Both safeties will start day 1 without question..... Stewart will contribute right away

Didn't you hear Hackenburg and Smith were found guilty of impersonating football players

The players we are targeting have the skill-set of UDFA's.  Collecting late round picks to draft them, and thus force them into our building, feels awfully rapey. 

 

I feel gross rooting for this team.

So what do you think the #141 pick will be? I think I would like O-Line but I don't really know enough to tell. 

TE JAKE BUTT MICHIGAN

[Powpow]

What's the percentage Mac trades the late 4th? 40-60 he trades it.

Dobbs to the Steelers

Interesting nickel could easily replace flag man.

Pittsburgh is a very good spot for Dobbs
