Now if we can just get Darron Lee playing at a high level on a consistent basis... Trade Daron Lee. Move J Adams to his ILB spot. Sign Honey Badger. I just want no part of Lee in the box and no part of Adams in the secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of feel bad for Demario who was one of the few Jets still battling at the end of the season. He’d be a good pickup for the Giants, who need linebackers and who need leadership. Something to watch: Davis covered up for Lee a lot and did a bunch of the dirty work. Is Williamson the type of dude to sacrifice himself so Lee can clean up? Agreed.... though Williamson is bordering all pro. Jury’s out on Lee. Arrow looks to be pointing up ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use him as a hybrid LB/safety, and sign the honey badger to play along with Maye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about Lee, I don't think Adams is that bad in coverage, multiple OPIs on Gronk when Adams was covering him that game he went off. Kelce had a big game but I think one of those long TDs were largely in part to a miscommunication about who was getting help. His game is best in the box though I just don't think he's big enough for full time ILB work. I'd like the Honey Badger but I've read he's progressing towards restructuring, who knows though.

nycdan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 2 years younger, and at least moderately better player. This is a net positive. So let's review. So far we have signed FAs that have improved us at CB and LB. Meanwhile, on the offensive side, we have resigned the same over-the-hill QB we had last year (only a year closer to social security), a backup who will likely never play while Todd Bowles still breathes, and a RB that may be a modest improvement at best. No help for the OL, WR or TE positions. Yep...sounds about right for this regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graded out as the 10th rated LB at 85.6, two spots behind Davis's (29 years old) 87.3 rating. Those same guys graded Trumaine Johnson as the 68th rated CB last year. So are their grades worthless, or - as I suspect - are their grades only valued when we like what they infer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great start. Look at the Giants. lol Don't get me wrong. I like what they DID. But I do not like what they DIDN'T do even more. Our OL is a problem. We really don't have a #1 RB or a #1 WR. And of course we have nothing going on at the QB position other than Todd's security blanket 'hold-the-fort' guy and a guy in Bridgewater who could turn out to be a nice player or trade piece next year, but far from a sure thing. What we DIDN'T do is land any FAs to help make the offense better either now, or in a year or maybe less when the (hopefully) rookie takes over. At bare minimum, we need a new Center. Richburg got away so that leaves one guy - Jensen. And we've heard nothing about that. If Jensen gets away too, I have no idea what will happen next but it won't be pretty, and will probably overwhelm any positives we hope to gain in the draft unless we burn a 2nd round pick on a Center and hope we get one that can start week 1. It's a serious concern and until I see that addressed, I'm not expecting 2018 NY Jets football to be a watchable product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets Voice of Reason Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 1 minute ago, Matt39 said: Deep class for running backs so let’s sign free agents instead. It never ever changes. Which is kind of ironic since matt forte's draft was incredibly deep with pro bowl rb talent (jonathan stewart, chris johnson, ray rice, forte, justin forsett) and we obviously chose to pass on all of them. though honestly, i think a well run team still picks the value rb in round 2 and figures out what to do with powell. For a supposed run first team, we sure love to not invest in OL and upper tier RB talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
