Jetmech Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Seems like he's been on top of the depth chart since TC started. Whether there wasn't much competition or not this could be a great pick for the Jets. They may have lucked out picking him in that spot before he was gone...

Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk I didn’t like the pick at the time but never questioned his ability. I guess that can be considered eating crow? If so, I’ll be eating crow and enjoying the hell out of it. I didn’t like the pick because of other needs (o-line) and the fact that he’s old for a rookie and a lot of times older rookies don’t get better since they have already peaked. Sione Pouha worked out for us though and Shepherd seems like he’s a vet already which justifies his older age. Competition was stiff enough in my opinion because Henry Anderson is VERY underrated and I was pretty sure going to be the starter. Shep has held his own and may have a great motor which is all you can ask to support Leo so he can FINALLY make some plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he continues to get better when the real games start.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetFaninMI Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I was lukewarm on the pick but I was a little disappointed in it given the OL situation. So far so good but I will wait and see how it goes when the real games begin. I am rooting for the guy though and his success will only help this team. I am getting psyched for the Game tomorrow night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obrien2Toon Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Yeah we rip Mac for all his misses, so got to give him credit for when he hits this looked like a good pick from the minute I looked up who the hell he was and read up about after they picked him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoTownsell1 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I didn't love the pick because I was hoping we would land a RB in that spot, but the reality is that all the RBs taken after that pick haven't impressed in camps (although Royce Freeman was taken the pick before we went and he has looked great...)

I have a feeling he is going to be a real player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk I recall some beat writer tweeting a video of Anderson working on hand technique with (i believe) Shepherd after practice ended. I like this type of stuff. Not what I would see Wilkerson doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
