DMan77 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I'm reading up a little on the offenses Gase tried to utilize in Miami, Denver, and Chicago, and he used the two-tight-end set quite a bit... They were targeted a lot, and not just in the red zone. And last season Miami drafted 2 new ones... Although the offense never really developed around those TEs, I think it might show the kind of personal Gase is looking for. I think a lot of us are looking at the WR position (not incorrectly) and thinking we need another piece there, but I'm starting think the Jets might look at the TE spot first even though it might not turn up on the "biggest needs" list... Herndon has been a pleasant surprise, but based on some of Gase's history it wouldn't shock me if he'd rather have two solid pass catching TEs first and foremost. Couple guys in the mid-rounds to keep an eye on: Noah Fant, Irv Smith Jr, Caleb Wilson, Josh Oliver Alize Mack, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philc1 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Lots of teams utilize two TE sets. It gives the qb extra blockers and an additional safety valve the Patriots have been running 2TE for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Neal Sterling is still an option if he's been cleared to play. Feel bad for the kid suffering the season ending concussions.

Some “experts” have him going top 10/15 and Smith will be gone as well. With the way TEs are producing latey in the new NFL I wouldn’t be surprised if 5 go in the first two rounds.

PepPep Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I like D.Fells as a target for the Jets. A guy that is mainly a blocker but athletic and has decent hands. Would be great to pair with Herndon. Wouldn;t cost that much. I'd prefer a FA addition than to use up a draft pick on a guy. There's also Leggett, who I think the Jets should give another chance to earn that #2 TE spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I was hoping the Jets would grab a TE in free agency. Maybe they still will once some time passes and prices drop. I'd bring back ASJ at the right price, provided he didn't become Blake Bortles' drinking buddy during his time in Jax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id like to see him in the mix to possibly make the team. It was probably just one game. He's had more than 50 yards receiving once in his career. Sterling has shown some promise as a tweener WR/TE, but the concussion issues are concerning and he is not currently signed. He came out in 2015 and was original round tendered last year.

Jetmech Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Gase could use Enunwa in a semi TE role, when he broke out. Remember he provided blocking assistance and played the Slot as well. I would use him interchangeably, could work again... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupz27 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Also hopefully Gase has truly learned from Peyton Manning, and if he really wants a 2 TE look the Jets can accomplish that by using Q in the Dallas Clark role, and Herndon in the traditional TE position obviously he will need to improve as a blocker. I’d really hate to waste a valuable asset in the draft on a TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjbuddy Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Jace Sternberger would be a nice mid round tight end to add. Kaden Smith would be a limited but all around solid tight end. Dawson Knox is a raw athletic tight end with limited production. All could be there in the 3rd, except for Sternberger, who was getting a little draft buzz after the combine.

joenamathwouldn'tcry Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Noah Fant is a pipedream for the Jets. He will certainly go in the first round, too rich for our blood. Irv Smith will be drafted above his talent and future production level, and is not a good fit for the Jets. Strictly a mid range, pass catching tight end, Chris Herndon does that at a much higher level. Stanford's Kaden Smith is a much better prospect in my opinion, and may be in a draft able position for the Jets. Has better size, and is more of a fit as a good TE #2, Caleb Wilson is smallish, and primarily a pass catcher, the Jets need someone who can block. Mack and Oliver are similar in size, speed and stature, with Oliver the more prolific pass catcher. Projected to be similar type players at the next level, Oliver is projected to be drafted higher, for what it's worth. All things being equal, I'd love Kaden Smith to be a future member of the New York Jets, if they can get him with the second #3 or our 4th round pick.

While the scheme will be different, you need a replacement for Tomlinson, at least in some sets, and the lack of a fullback further illustrates that need. Dozier was used some in the backfield the last few years in a blocking capacity and is now gone. The Jets were woeful around an at the goal line last year, and I'd like to see that change. The lack of a fullback will call for two tight end formations, we need another tight end who can block, as well as catch. Size at that position is important.

I don’t disagree with your logic, but you said we need a tight end who can block. We don’t. Herndon’s gonna be playing the Y tight end when down and distance count. We need a true F type, ala Engram/Hernandez... Doesn’t mean we don’t need a JAG blocker for depth, but the way you represented the situation wasn’t accurate IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
