Fair point. No #1s available but I think guys like Tate & Humphries can be solid #2 WRs. If we want a future #1 WR, we'll have to make it happen via a draft pick.

Joe W. Namath Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Humpries would be awesome as a number 3 reciever. $10 mil is what a good slot reciever goes for nowadays. Do it Mac!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckkieB Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I like Humphries. Heaven forbid we actually get a guy that can get open and catch a 3rd down pass. Only Jets fans can complain about bringing in a player that caught 75 passes last year. The WR position needs upgrades. This is an upgrade.

No question Macc has to make up for his past failures with this and other positions. I view it like a baseball pitching staff. You may not have an Ace, but if you have a slew of #2 & #3 starters, you can be ok. Regardless of whether or not they sign Humphries (or Tate or Cobb) - it's a position we still need to address in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but the Jets will still need a Big WR which I believe they draft in the 3rd round because there are quite a few Big WRs... I just hope they don't do something stupid like sign Funchess.

Why do you think there’s 4-5 high profile slot guys hitting the market? Dime a dozen. When you have to pay elite WRs like Mike Evans (Humphries) or Amari Cooper (Beasley) it's tough to also pay a slot guy. We obviously don't have to pay an elite #1 WR (since we don't have one) and there are no #1 or even borderline #1 WRs in free agency. So the options are bringing a redundant WR like Tyrell Williams/Crowder for too much money or a high end slot, I would rather bring in the slot WR that will make Darnold's life a lot easier on 3rd downs.

Tate is far overpriced and I worry about Crowder and why he couldn't succeed... It seems Ross (Who WAS let go to AAFL is better). Maybe the Jets end up signing Ross for nothing... but out of all the FA WRs I think Humphries and Smokey are the only 2 that would be worth their contract.

Exactly that. We have so many holes. WR just isn't going to get completely sorted this time around. Who knows, maybe we'll end up with a top-15 pick next year and the number one WR will fall to us and we'll be complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, or maybe we trade down and take a WR at 15 or with one of the extra picks we add in the 2nd/3rd rounds. This is the kind of draft class where you can find an Allen Robinson/Juju type in the 2nd/3rd rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Given the ongoing list of past and present players Humphries has been compared to here, I think it's fair to say that the general opinion is that he's a real gritty, lunch-pail type player.

Sure, adding a true #1 WR-type would be awesome, but where is that guy coming from in free agency? I don't think the Jets receivers are terrible. Anderson, Enunwa, and Herndon are a decent young group, and Humphries would add the shifty, sure-handed underneath guy that none of them really are. Better than 70% catch rate the last two years with Winston and Fitzpatrick throwing to him. Seems like a quality receiver and a good fit for this team. Otherwise, what? You're penciling Deontay Burnett in at slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why hasn't Crowder succeeded? He has more catches and yards than Humphries. I get that Humphries is trending up, while Crowder had his worst year, but Humphries also hasn't shown he can be "the Man" without Evans and Jackson. I would caution about reading too much into Crowder's 2018. He had an off year, but had a significant ankle injury and Smith replacing Cousins. I don't know where the hell your Rashad Ross comments are coming from. The kid played like a season and a half and never caught a ball. He's literally been on like 9 NFL teams and never caught a pass. Hell, the Jets even had him in for a workout. Does breaking out in the minor leagues mean that much? The kid has like 300 yards in 4 games. During one stretch in 2016 Crowder had 325 in 4 games in the NFL. Ross may have a career in the NFL, but the idea that his success proves something against Crowder is mind numbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony MaC Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 His stats seem slightly above average, and he's hitting his prime years. A few years ago he would have made 6-8 million in the market, but when you add in a bit of free agent inflation I can absolutely see him making 10 million a year from us or somebody else. That's not even top 20 for WR's these days, it's not completely out of left field given the market. The Jets have the need for some kind of reliability at receiver and the cap room to get it at a small premium, he's not a top guy but that's the kind of move the Jets should make with a young QB considering the draft is slim pickings at the moment for them.
