If Anderson was a 2nd round draft pick like Hill was you would never think of him not being a lock on the roster after his performance last season. RA is an NFL WR with more room to grow and develop. He is a lock. 

No argument here with the first part. I don't think the team has as much invested in him and in theory they could let him go if he regresses in his second season. He's pretty damn close but I don't think he's a complete lock for that reason.

Lots of young WR's - Enunwa could be the oldest entering his fourth season? Will be interesting to see if they find any value in keeping Decker on as a veteran to help with the finer points of the position - obviously he's very technically sound. Morton I know excels teaching the position as well. Potentially a very bright future at the position.

1. Decker (WR#1 for now)
2. Stewart (WR #2)
3. Hansen (Slot)
4. Enunwa (H-Back/Slot)
5./6. Anderson/Peake (5th WR deep threat, 6th WR Possession Guy)

This sounds fine to me and is how I think the final roster will likely work out (presuming Decker isn't cut).  

No argument that Hack (or Petty) has "no weapons".

If Decker is cut, gives Marshall or Patton a shot at the #6 spot, but is meh is either case tbqh.

Enunwa is the #1 right now... No way the rooks beat him or anderson on the chart

Sucks that Devon got hurt again I really thought he would contribute this coming season.  With him out though these receivers on the roster don't lack in talent.  I'm hoping Morton makes Enunwa our starting full time TE.  I mean he has the same measurements as Evan Engram who went in the 1st round and he can block.  With that change the starting WR/TE units can look like this..

WR#1: Decker

WR#2: R. Anderson

Slot:  A. Stewart

WR#4: Hansen

WR#5: Peake

WR#6:  Patton/J. Marshall

TE#1:  Enunwa

TE#2:  ASJ

TE#3:  Leggett

I love that with Powell and Forte coming out of the backfield also

Agree with you regarding RA being damn close to being a complete WR. My buddies across the nation like RA and the Q. They say the Jets don't get those type of players?. RA over Hill every day.

Obviously Decker is the most technically sound WR. I like him as a WR also. He teamed very well with BM in 2015. Even though 2015 was a stellar season for the NYJ WR's they still went out and got better since then at that position.  That is way the competent franchises work.  Let's hope they continue to do this at the other position units.

The Jets may have some trade worthy pieces from this group before the PS is over. I think Decker should be traded or released. Taking 130 targets from this young group is almost criminal in a year when the Jets probably won't compete for a SB. The young corps of WR's need every rep possible to develop chemistry as Decker at this point is not a part of the future here.

I also agree with you that this unit has a very bright future. Let Decker try to win a SB with another team. It did not happen for him here.

Peake runs a 4.3/40. He can also be a deep threat. Hard to see that last season due to the wrecking ball at QB. Clemson has practically become a WR manufacturer. The Jets have a lot of speed at this position. The deep pass can come at any time and the Jets should not being shy about employing it.

Seeing that they surprisingly passed on Cook and teams look at the OC's resume and think WCO, it can be a very effective game changer here.  A couple of lightning quick scores and the Jets could have teams throwing early and into their strength on D; the newly minted secondary.

The Jets have coaches that can teach and develop players. Decker cannot stay healthy. The young guys need reps

Decker can still be effective, but I'd probably cut him at this point considering where we are in the rebuild and with what else we have on roster. Hansen and Stewart are guaranteed to make the roster, and I don't want to give up on Peake or Marshall at this point.

Agree. seems like an EXCELLENT fit for the WCO and is a self-made player as a walk-on at Cal from Idaho St. Our next 4th round WR-diamond ala Jericho Cotchery in '04 (me hopes). 

 

'Deep threat' with 'Outstanding hands' | Scouting reports on WR Chad Hansen, Jets' 4th-round pick

Hansen, 22, is a bit of an interesting prospect. He's not as fine-tuned as others at his position, but with some work, some scouts believe he can be a 10-year player. Hansen caught 92 passes for 1,249 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2016. 

Here are a few more scouting reports on Hansen. 

Nolan Nawrocki: Emerged as Cal's clutch, go-to receiver in first year as starter and stacked 24-300-2 on San Diego State and Arizona State in September after being told he wasn't good enough to play for either program. Has proven productive at every layer of the field and possesses the hands, toughness and competitive desire to eventually earn a No. 3 role and become a 10-year pro. 

Pro Football FocusHansen can still be viewed as a work-in-progress since he had only one season as a starter at an FBS school. However, he already proved that he excels at some aspects of the game, including catching the deep pass and making contested receptions on the sideline. While Hansen is not a final product yet, his skill set should help him contribute on screen passes and as a deep threat already in Year 1 in the NFL.

NFL.com: Hansen has good combination of size and speed for the perimeter with an ability to climb over the top of cornerbacks and win the deep ball. He has average separation quickness when asked to work the first two levels, but he has the hands and strength to handle contested catch situations. An ascending prospect in draft circles who should hear his name called on Day 2 (Rounds 2-3) of the daft with a chance to become a WR2.

ESPN Hansen is an Idaho State transfer who has appeared in 20 games the past two seasons at Cal with nine starts all coming in 2016. Despite missing two games with an ankle in injury he finished the 2016 season with 92 catches for 1,249 yards, 11 TDs and was fourth in the FBS averaging 125 receiving yards per game. Hansen is a polished route runner with quality hands and the toughness to potentially develop into an adequate third receiver on the roster. He currently projects as early day three selection. April 5, 2017

Optimum Scouting NFL Draft guide Hansen is a classic late-bloomer whose only offer out of HS was from FCS Idaho St where he started as a true freshman. He was a walk-on transfer to Cal in 2014 and gained eligibility to play in 2015 when he finished as the team's 6th leading receiver in a spread offense that often lines up 4+ WRs at once. In a breakout 2016 season, Hansen looked noticeably more confident and comfortable within the system as Webb's go-to playmaker. Hansen has a solid physique and has good feet and quickness for his size. He uses strong hands to release vs. press and accelerates to top speed quickly to sell deep vs. off coverage. He's not a burner but he gets to top speed quickly enough for DBs to respect him. Hansen moves with excellent body control and coordination in his routes but he's still in the late development phase, telegraphing deeper break points. There wasn't a ton of route variation in Sonny Dykes' system (primarily slants, quick ins/outs, comebacks, fades) and he ran those exclusively from the right. He utilizes subtle twitch at the top of routes to create breathing room vs. tight coverage and does a nice job of coming back to the ball underneath. He snatches away from his frame and gives his QB a large target area. Hansen's sideline awareness is outstanding, showing the coordination and over the shoulder ball tracking to convert downfield boundary targets. He has the body control and reaction quickness to develop into a strong back shoulder target. Hansen lacks exciting explosive traits but he can really open up when he's got the ball in space unleashing enough top end speed to outrun pursuit angles and create chunk plays. Overall, Hansen's significant improvements indicate his best football is ahead of him. In the right system, he could develop into a very productive starting WR.

When I look at this kid I think of a young Eric Decker or Decker 2.0.  I think we may have gotten a steal with Hansen.  Can't wait to see him in camp.
