Just for Conversation


NYDreamer

Recommended Posts

I was listening to the podcast at SNY.com with Willie Colon and Jonas "May the Schwartz be with you" and they brought up that the current roster has 17 WR's on it.  This WR draft class is not a strong one.  So this got me thinking:  Would a WR hungry team trade a 2nd round pick for a guy like Kearse or Enunwa giving us draft capital and replacing the pick we lost?  I've been so absorbed with the QB conversation that I  needed to think of other ways to perhaps add more draft capital and this seems to be an option.  Just one other thought for a 2nd rounder perhaps Darron Lee with recent MLB signings.  Thoughts?

I would think its possible for Kearse but for Enunwa? No. Only because of his injury and the questions surrounding it. There's a reason why there are 17 WR's in camp. The Jets see after the first 3 guys that the rest are question marks until they prove it on the field. A lot of guys think we are fine at the skill positions. I do not. We are thin at WR and weak at RB. I have said this over and over and while they added Pryor they have not exactly inspired confidence with their RB additions. Crowell is average at best  and Powell is who he is. I like McGuire but need to see more of him. After that who knows? Hopefully they add more depth at RB in the draft or UFDA's. I am worried about the RB position.

Am I the only one that sees McGuire as Shonne Greene 2.0 ?

Green was a more punishing straight ahead runner. But the biggest difference is that we had a great offensive line back then, especially for the run.

We have one of the least talented WR groups in the NFL. 

We have no legitimate NFL #1, not even someone close to legit #1.

WE are the "WR hungry" team, we're not trading out trash for other teams treasure.

Kearse - moderate quality #2

Pryor - solid enough #3

Anderson - one-trick pony #3, most over-rated player on the current Jets roster, and one more arrest/incident away from serious suspensions.

Enunwa - health still TDB, solid developing slot #2/H-Back/TE type.

Hanson - future TBD, looking like #3/#4 so far

Stewart - future TDB, not looking good so far

The rest?  Camp bodies mostly.

A. Unless we materially upgrade at WR ourselves, we cannot afford to drop any of these sub-par talents or we start approaching ye olde "no weapons" status again.

B. OUR new QB needs as many weapons as possible, be it Bridgewater, or be it the #3 draft pick.  We already are weak at WR.  Trading away what little we have is literal offensive suicide.  Whats next, we use the pick we get to draft another DB?

TLDR Answer:  Lol, no.

Correct. The O line is what makes the running game run.

I think it's possible just not sure it's worth it to the Jets unless a pass rusher or LT drops,  I would not trade one of them for a 2nd round RB or TE or random defensive player it would have to be a specific high value target

 

We have a lot of quantity...just need more quality.  If we did trade one I realistically can't see us getting more than say a 5th or 6th rounder for them.

Kearse is the only one of true value so I'd rather keep him than trade him for a late rounder.

Given where the jets are in their development, trading players with limited time on their contracts for draft picks would seem to be a smart move.   

Lee should go to a team that likes him.  He will not be extended.  

Carpenter is expendable for a high draft pick that could replace him.  

If anyone wants to pay a 3rd or better for any of the WRs other than Enumwa if we think he is healthy, they can have them.

Jets not in a position to trade away talent for lotto picks. Macc's drafts have been idzikian. Trade no one proven to be able to play above replacement level for any pick outside top 10 in first round.

The Jets couldnt get a 2nd round pick for a single player on this team.  Maybe Williams.

 

And even if they did Macc hasn't found a single player outside top 10 in first round so.... hard pass.

I call B.S.

Nearly EVERY team with a hole on their D-line, be it DT or DE would trade a 1st rounder and more for Leonard Williams. And the Jets would be stupid to take that deal.

So would other teams. Just wait a year or two for Bowles to alienate him too and Jets have to cut Leo.

A 1st rounder?  You're high as a kite.  He's not as good as Sheldon and it took Mac 2 years to get a 2nd round pick for Sheldon.

Yet we find ourselves in a thread were we are being asked if we could/should trade the wideout that was thrown in on the deal for a second. Ha ha

He's a 23 yr old building block for on a D-line and can play DT or DE, can rush the passer and stuff the run, he is a stud with no character issues, no missed games and still has immense upside. Not high at all, you are undervaluing him.

The Jets intend to start grooming a rookie QB in a couple weeks. They can't afford to even consider trading away one of the better WRs from an overall mediocre group. 

Also, Dez Bryant is going to be a free agent and someone is gonna send the Jets a second-round pick for Enunwa? C'mon!

Why would a team trade a high pick to the Jets for Kearse when they can simply sign Dez Bryant or one of the other guys still out there?

How long did Pryor float around before the Jets signed him?

And, in terms of value, what Round pick did the Jets trade for Brandon Marshall?

+1

10 -11 days

 2015 5TH ROUNDER but we also GOT a 7th rounder BACK w/acquiring Marshall.

 

Anyone who believes WR Kearse @$5M for 2018 can net a 2nd rounder is an idiot.

Anybody who wants to give us a 2nd round pick for Kearse is a moron, but, we will happily take it

There are folks who think we shouldn’t do it unless a certain player falls. Smh.
