I won't be surprised if he trades back from our 3rd rounder to move back 15 spots and net another 4th or 5th round pick; it's his style. He did it 3 times in the '17 draft. Last year he traded back 9 spots w/Minn in the 3rd from 70th (Pat Elflein C) to 79th and acquired the 160th pick in the 4th round. Then with Tampa netting a 6th & finally swapping 5ths w/Cleveland & a 7th rounder netting 2 6th rounders. We'll draft a RB that drops between the 4-7th round I completely agree, unless they think they're getting a steal with someone. But yes, i think we're trading back in the 3rd.

ARodJetsFan Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 1 hour ago, Paradis said: I was a fan of Rawls couple years ago, as a defunct Michigan back (coincidentally we signed a defunct Florida back in Crowell as well) -- and am pleased to see that we've added youth and talent over age and "veteran presence"... I'm not sure Rawls body is going to hold up, but between our 3 backs (bye McGuire) we should have a consistent production. Consider this a move as result of losing both 2nd round picks. While I'm not opposed to the signing, Rawls is no lock to crack the 53 man roster and his signing has no bearing on McGuire - McGuire is younger, cheaper, more talented & has more upside in my opinion.

Gas2No99 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Jets add ex-Seahawk to crowded backfield By Mark Cannizzaro March 30, 2018 | 3:45pm The Jets continued to add roster depth on Friday, signing free agent running back Thomas Rawls and linebacker Neville Hewitt. Rawls played his first three seasons in Seattle and rushed for 830 yards, averaging and NFL-best 5.6 yards per carry and scoring four TDs in his rookie season in 2015. But he was slowed by injuries the past two seasons and rushed for a total of only 506 yards, 3.0 yards per carry and three touchdowns The 5-foot-9 Rawls, an undrafted rookie, started just 10 games the past two years after being expected to take over as the starter after Marshawn Lynch left. With the Jets, he joins incumbent backs Bilal Powell and Elijah McGuire and recently-signed Isaiah Crowell, formerly with the Browns. Hewitt, 6-2, 234, has 104 tackles, one sack and one interception in his career with the Dolphins and was signed to be a key contributor on special teams. The Jets also had Lions center Travis Swanson in for a free agent visit on Friday. Their 2017 starter Wesley Johnson signed a free agent contract with the Lions and the Jets failed to land former Giant center Weston Richburg, who signed with the 49ers.

When you trade away both on your second round picks, it's probably wise to be deep before the draft. It's a great RB class but there is no guarantee much will be left in the third round.

I agree, its disappointing. I would have preferred money spent on oline instead. You can land a decent back with a 4-5th round pick.

He forced himself to overpay a mediocre FA Center this year because he didn’t draft Elflein. But it’s okay, we also signed Crowell and Rawls after passing on RB Dalvin Cook in Round 2.

Let's not forget Matt Forte's errr forte ( sorry, couldn't resist) of catching passes. In just 12 games Forte caught 37 passes for the Jets last year. Rawls in 34 career games has only caught 31 . Lots of 1st downs in Forte's catches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha I usually defend Mac but I think you're right on this... could have just taken Cook in Rd 2 and Elflein (or Feeney) in Rd 3 but they wound up with Maye, Stewart, Donohue, and McGuire after trading down twice.
