JetNation Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 With a franchise quarterback (hopefully) in the fold along with a replacement for Muhammad Wilkerson along the defensive line in Nathan Shepherd, the Jets have addressed a pair of key needs and as they prepare to start the fourth round with the seventh selection, there are plenty of opportunities for the Jets to add a quality player who may be able to start, or at the very least contribute in 2018. Here are a few names worth keeping an eye on. OLB Josh Sweat, FSU: One of the more gifted edge rushers in this class, Sweat was projected to be off the board well before the Jets make their fourth round choice, but if he’s there, it would be hard to argue selecting him as an explosive player off the edge. TE Ian Thomas, Indiana: A vastly underrated all-around tight end, Thomas made the most of his few opportunities at Indiana, scoring 5 touchdowns on just 25 receptions. Draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah went so far as to say Thomas had enough talent to possibly sneak in to the first round. That obviously didn’t happen, but he’d be a very good addition in round four. OT Tyrell Crosby, Oregon: If all goes well along the Jets’ O-line, Crosby may not fit the “could contribute right away” description, but as a player with experience at both tackle spots who could probably transition inside if necessary, Crosby is a potential starter next year who can be had early in the fourth round. RB Nyheim Hines, NC State: Hines is an explosive running back who may be the best pass catching back in this class. Eric Galko of Optimum Scouting discussed Hines as being a “top 50” type of prospect in the weeks leading up to the draft. OLB Leon Jacobs, Wisconsin: A traits based edge rusher, Jacobs has enough explosion to contribute at the very least, as a situational pass rusher early on. Edge Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, Oklahoma: Another explosive rusher off the edge who has hung around for longer than some anticipated. TE Dalton Schultz, Stanford: Another tight end who can play in-line and offer a quality target in a team’s passing game. CB Holton Hill, Texas: Multiple outlets have reported some maturity issues with Hill, which is probably the only reason the gifted corner is still on the board. At 6′ 2”, Hill is a long corner who ran a 4.49 in Indy who could offer good value in round four. Plenty of options for the Jets to address their biggest remaining needs along the offensive line, edge rusher and possibly cornerback. Click here to read the full story...

I miss players like Leon Washington. A great asset to a WCO is having threats that can take it to the house at any time and rack up the YAC.

Mccagnan mentioned rb in his pre draft presser and they just went defense. Powell is 30 and Hines fits well with Crowell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I have been watching the Jets draft for a long time. Every year I see lists like this and watch the Jets take players I never heard of. Usually, the unknown player the Jets pick turns out meh and we watch the players on the list do well. For all of their scouting resources, boards like this could draft almost as well as a team can. I would even argue that, over the last seven drafts, Idzik and Maccagnan would have been better off picking the Kiper best available in rounds 3-7 rather than the names they came up with. So I am on board with this thread. Hopefully Mac picks one of the guys above, Edge or OL preferably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also argue that with regimes like tanny/Rex and idzik/Rex and bowles/mccagnan there hasn’t been much of an emphasis on developing talent, especially on offense. If you put some of these same guys on NE they would do ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been a 2nd rounder easily. But if the medicals checked out afterwards, at some point he’s worth it. Obviously there are concerns. i still want Hines.

Hines is interesting, I saw him a bit at NC State and he’s fast no doubt. Lacks the wiggle and elusiveness you would like in a guy his size. But in the 4th or 5th round he’s worth a shot. Can’t teach speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackman55 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Nyheim Hynes for sure. With him in the backfield defenses would have to respect that speed and actually have to game plan for him. He would also give our new QB a reliable check down option. A great punt returner, it's been a long time since we had somebody like that. ......I'm all in.

And Schotty would flank him out to the slot and fool the defense everytime! Because you know, a fullback who can’t catch, or outrun an inside linebacker is a deadly weapon. Sorry, rant...but yeah we legit need someone who can take it to the house on any given play. Ardarius Stewart is not that guy lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
