Grade the 3rd Round Pick: WR Ardarius Stewart

[Sarge4Tide]

What grade do you give the Jets for taking Alabama WR Ardarius Stewart with the 79th pick in the NFL draft?

[King P]

We took a rich man's version of Jalin Marshall in the 3rd.

D

[T0mShane]

Good special teamer.

Below 6'0" and runs a 4.5.  What's the upside?

[JoJoTownsell1]

Very solid pick. Doesn't undo taking two straight safeties but still solid. Would have preferred a tight end but we have more picks...

[BigRy56]

I don't like it... but I also don't know a thing about this dude.

Well, he has a history of drops, so he's got that going for him.

The upside is that we're going to be looking for a new (and hopefully competent) GM next year.

[New York Mick]

At least he plays offense

You can live with drops if the guy can explode for an 80 yard TD on any given play (e.g. Braylon Edwards).  But this guy doesn't do that.

[Jetsplayer21]

At least we didn't pick D. This guy won't come place to replacing Marshall's production

[Lil Woody]

It's cool.  We didn't really need a outside pass rush or CBs or TE or anything.  A 4th or 5th WR is a smart choice.

[T0mShane]

Plays special teams well. Good special teams guy. Showed a lot of grit in interviews.

[Pointdexter]

The definition of "meh". He wasn't even one of the 2 best wr's on his own team. Calvin Ridley and OJ Howard were both better players.

Macc is on a roll.

You can never have too many backup WRs.  Peake, Marshall, Stewart, etc.

Seems like Maccagnan likes trying to hit singles in the third. Would've preferred a bunch of other guys. Stewart will probably be a contributor, but I don't see a lot of upside. 

Would've been more excited each of the four guys who were picked immediately after, the guy picked immediately before, and the guys taken 72 and 73.

Otherwise, A+

EDIT: Godwin makes it the five immediately after. I need a new team.

Antonio Brown..... Based on those numbers. 

[Jetsmanjb]

Why did we pass on Dalvin Cook in the second round ?

He's an anomaly.  Name one other really good WR with those measurables.

[Baeton Manning]

Our physical freak, projectable WRs at around this spot have been so bad that I'm not too averse to going in the other direction for the Proven Competitor Intangibles guy, who I'm sure is also a "football player." See how it goes.

[Ohio State NY Jets fan]

Finished his high school career scoring 138 touchdowns as a QB and S (had to have safety experience and maybe a better QB then Hack but joins a group of very similar WR's)

Good blocker but 11 drops in 2 years, not fast but runs east and west to avoid gaining years, does not look like he started a full season at Bama but the good news is we are helping a father of 2 who turns 24 in December - let's hope he gets a good signing bonus since I am not sure he makes the team

and lets watch Jake Butt play TE for ten years for another team

starting to sound like Tom Shane - hate this draft, ready to fire Mac and Bowles

HAHAHAHAHA you said it.

Chris Godwin is sitting there and he takes Ardarius Stewart.  This is amazing.

Can step right in for Devin Smith as our punt gunner

Chris Godwin?  What is Mac smoking?

[Guilhermezmc]

Just a bad pick, Godwin is a much better prospect. Congrats Tampa.

Because you don't pass on a 2nd safety when that opportunity comes knocking. 

Maye just too good to leave on the board.

Marcus Maye who is he? Dalvin Cook was a top 15 pick in some mock drafts.... and we have no business keeping Matt Forte on our roster- why should we keep Matt Forte ?  Bilal Powell isn't a starter either he's a complimentary back

Did anyone mention to Maccagnan that WE HAVE NO STARTING-CALIBUR CENTER??  We just passed on Elflein for a special teams guy.

I'm gonna just take my bottle of Jack Daniels and go into the living room now. I don't even need a shot glass.

He's a third round pick. You aren't getting a 6ft guy who runs a 4.3.

Lol, sarcasm not your forte? (Pun intended)

Chris Godwin is 6'1" and has breakaway speed.

Watch this and tell me that Stewart is better than Godwin:

Dalvin Cook is really good.  He's got some Marshall Faulk sh*t going on.  Maccagnan will be unemployed in a year.

[RutgersJetFan]

On the one hand, expert bloggers tell me he's a 4th/5th round grade. On the other, at least it's not another safety.

Lol, I thought my post was comic gold. Maybe it wasn't as clever as I thought.
