It is the weakest part of this team and needs to upgraded ASAP. How about best available pass rusher at 5-8, then draft OL in rounds 2 and 3? Why wouldn't that work? Again, unless that OL is a franchise LT, you simply don't take one in the top 10. You just don't. Especially since starting-caliber or even Pro Bowl-caliber RT's and interior linemen can be found in the middle rounds (2-5). The future of the organization is far more positively impacted by a legit pass rusher than spending our 1st on a perennial Pro Bowl Guard or RT. I can't explain it any better than that.

The future of this organization is directly tied to Darnold and him alone, not the defense. If the Jets dropped to say 7th while picking up an extra 2nd and 3rd I'd be ok with them taking a pass rusher at 7 and then drafting offensive line the next couple of rounds. I wouldn't be thrilled about it but I'd be ok with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've eliminated all of the risk in drafting someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've eliminated all of the risk in drafting someone else. But you're not including all the variables. If it turned out no one else in the first 10-12 picks was any good, sure, he'd do that. If he was passing up on the opportunity to get one of the 10-15 best pass rushers in the NFL to take the Guard, no, he wouldn't. It isn't just about reducing risk with your 1st round pick. It's about opportunity cost. Leonard Williams and Jamal Adams were "safe" picks. How did that work out for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 How would Leo and Quinnen pair together? Do they do the same job? My initial feelings with Quinnen and Leo was that they are both versitile and could play multiple positions but I'm starting to read more and more that they are kinda redundant Can anyone shed some light on this?

The NFL is all about offense. Take a look at the final four teams in the playoffs last year and tell me defense matters. It just doesn't. Spare me the excuse about the score of the Super Bowl, that was a blip in an otherwise offensive minded season and playoffs. The Jamal Adams pick has worked out great. Leo, not so much.

There's a big difference between getting by with an OK defense and having an awful defense, which we had last year. You at least need to be able to get by. New England had the # 13 defense last year, per FO. The Rams were # 15. In total, 8 of the 12 playoff defenses were in the Top 15 of the rankings. It was more of the same in the 2018 playoffs. The Eagles had the # 2 defense per FO. 2 of the other AFC/NFC Championship participants, the Vikings and Jaguars, had the # 1 and # 4 defense, respectively.

I am assuming Josh Allen is worth the 3 pick for the sake of argument. But your point is valid, there might not be much difference and a team could have Bosa - Williams - Oliver as their top 3 and that would also make a ton of sense. Allen is not quite an A+ prospect for example why is he a senior that didn't play in the senior bowl? things that make you go HMM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns - is a 4-3 DE in a OLBs body. He’s going to have a tough time being anything more than a part time player used in obvious passing situations Sweat - i like him and if we do trade down he’s a player I want but has a heart condition So yes there is a big difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt39 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Early, but the two edge rushers are separating themselves this preseason so far (Allen/Burns). Hoping to see QW "flash" tomorrow night. This thread is a good read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyLV Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 We were offered trade downs which at a minimum would have included a second in last years draft. We could have wound up with Dillard and an additional 2nd rounder. I like Quinnen a lot but unless he becomes Donald his impact will be low.
