We HAVE centers, check the roster.

Jets fans will accept anything.

Hey, Michael Jordan is off the board too.

But we have centers so no worries

What pressing needs do we have? We have a CB2 and a C on the roster. At this point who is outplaying Darryl Roberts and Harrison at C?

[Dinamite 913]

Well, bengals just took Michael Jordan.  Guess we are left with Toni Kukoc

Except they do for both. 

UnitedWhoFans, I'm aware that there are alphanumeric characters that appear next to the words "Center" and "Cornerback" on the New York Jets official depth chart, and those alphanumeric characters signify a living person who will ostensibly be the ones employed to perform those respective tasks. But, thank you for reminding me.

 Yes, he will be perfect here for Rex’s offense. 

He'll be perfect for Gase's O.   

Quick underneath passes. Then punish S's for another 10 yards

You’re forgetting Ty Montgomery. 

I did forget him. LOL

[joenamathwouldn'tcry 2,309]

Boy do I hate Patriocheat fans.  "Six time super bowl champions"  blah blah,  makes me want to puke.  Let's hope that never happens again.

Anyway, we were the worst short yardage blocking team in the NFL last season, except for maybe the Cardinals, who I don't give a sh$t about.  We signed LeVeon Bell.  We need to protect Sam Darnold.  Everyone was crying for Hockenson because the things he would help with in the blocking schemes, in addition to his pass catching.  So much that a lot of us wanted him at #3.  But, Tight End is now not a need?  C'mon.

Eric Tomlinson sucks.  We got Osemele.  We Jettisooned our other Fullback/Lineman option for goal line and fourth quarter short yardage plays. If you don't think that this kid is gonna help us in the running game, pass blocking, and short yardage situations, think again.  He is a Moose.  You will all warm up to him.  Fast.

Their opponents.

[win4ever 2,316]

What???

The whole Air Raid system is based on spread, quick outlets, and one on one matchups. It does let you view blocking ability in tight spaces, where you need to move a defender into exactly one direction. The extra space means you only need to prevent the defender from getting a clear shot at a runner behind you because the runner has ample space to maneuver around.

It's EXACTLY the point.  You seem to know that no other team wanted him for at least two more rounds.  Show us.

I listen to a lot of NFL radio as well and this guy was brought up and discussed all over the place. He was projected to go 4-5th rd and most felt he could very well be one of the top 3-5 TE in the entire draft.

Again, I am
Upset that we didn’t take. Damned C by now and we let M Jordan and ridley get away but this pick may be much better than we think right now.

If we can grab pierschbacher in the 5th I will be happy. This one is tough to swallow with no C but it’s a very strong pick.

I think he was taken earlier than Westco

[HawkeyeJet 11,738]

I know nothing about Wesco but if Baldinger and Chris Brown(SmartFootball) like him that much then I'm just fine.

[Better2bgreenthanblue 574]

What OL are left?

Wait, I was just told he's white so he can't be any good.

Still available.

I think it may be Morris Claiborne and John Sullivan.  I'm fine with that.  Can't fill all the holes in one offseason.

He was criminally underused in the passing game.  He’s not just a blocking tight end. 

[nycdan 21,709]

Fun TE fact: did you know the Jets drafted John Mackey in 1963 (before the merger so he went to the NFL team instead).  Best TE we ever drafted and he didn't play for us

 

[BettyBoop 2,839]

I already ordered by Wesco jersey.  There are going to be a lot of them sold by year end.

Yeah it’s embarrassing.  I mean we have a franchise QB finally and added pieces yet everything I still doom and gloom lol 

Wooo Hooooo!!!! We have a franchise QB and therefore should be happy even though our GM is also responsible for a roster full of holes and little depth after 4 years.   Got it. 

[Barry McCockinner 15,561]

I may have overlooked this but if not, here's the details on the two trade downs in the 4th.

Jets traded 4.3 for 4.14 & 5.30 

Jets traded 4.14 & 5.30 for 4.21 & 5.19

 

Quote

Here's how the Jets shimmied downward in the first hour of Round 4: They sent their own pick near the top of the round, No. 105 overall, to New Orleans for the 14th choice of Round 4 (No. 116), held by the Saints after a trade from Miami, and the Saints' fifth-rounder, No. 30 in that round (No. 168).

Then as the Green & White were going on the clock at 116, GM Mike Maccagnan executed another tradedown, this time with Tennessee, his second tradedown of the day and third trade in less than 24 hours. For going down seven slots, from 114 to the Titans' 121, the Jets swapped that fifth-rounder from the Saints with the Titans and moved up 11 rungs, from 168 to 157.

What exactly should they have done?  Please, tell us exactly what trades Mac should have taken for the #3 pick?

Idk what trades he was offered. Do you? How do you know he didn't turn down a massive deal? Just bc he said so. For all we know he was offered multiple day 2 picks this year and next and turned it down. So stop acting like you know everything. You know nothing about what was offered just like the rest of us.

kid got some heart after the catch 

Good stuff. Thanks. I see the positives and similarities....but he needs work. Two TE sets with Herndon could give the Jets lots of options.

Ill keep an open mind on Wesco.

He also can provide Bell with extra yards, which is a nice plus.  It's not like we have Mangold running out into space to block anymore.

Dammit wanted Jordan. 

I’m now 100% convinced that Gase and Frank Pollack believe Harrison can be the starting Center. I don’t see it but what do I know? Let’s hope so.

Worse then that

[32EBoozer 7,192]

Lord I hope Sammy does not read JetNation boards; or any Jet players. We can be a terrible fan base sometimes. Tenn. Jacksonville, GB etc. have a great relationship with their fans. I hope we can return to that.

Let the ass whoopin’ Begin.... that’s how I feel

Guy was mis used  WVU.  As Cimini pointed out he caught 26 balls out of 30 targets.

Tough guy, and he can play
