JIF doesn’t even want this kid. 

Two D players with needs on offense. 

If that's true I'm terrified now

Seems like an immature kid with discipline issues who is prob more of a 1st round talent. Greg Williams better keep him in line and maybe we got a steal

we did need edge

He ran a 4.84. Our new nose tackle is faster. 

 

Hes a dumber Lorenzo Mauldin

Who cares? The guy was a first round pick once the games were played. Great pick.

Agree I was more pointing out why he fell

[Beerfish 15,466]

"Just one year of big-time production, but he's an instinctive rusher with natural feel for attacking the pocket. Polite's frightening speed to the edge on tape was missing in his pre-draft workouts as he showed up much heavier and with purported hamstring issues during all of his testing. The game tape shows an ability to rush the pocket with a fluid, diverse attack, but he might not have the grit necessary to play the run as a 3-4 outside linebacker on early downs. His troubling post-season that included bad combine interviews, bad workouts and additional weight around the midsection has substantially clouded his draft standing into the boom-or-bust category.

The rest of the draft (especially 3 and 4th round) needs to focus on the offensive side of the ball

Lol

[bostonmajet 1,584]

Everyone complains that Mac doesn't take a chance, and the in the 3rd they pick up a guy that screwed up at the combine and was a bit out of shape. If this kid hadn't acted like a kid, he was a 1st round pick. A bit of a risk, but he could be a total steal if he gets his act together...

[Larz 66,721]

Hahaha that dudes agent had to wear a suit to a bowling alley 

[DLJ 150,565]

Hopefully he becomes a beast

How many guys that tank the combine turn out to be good players?  Couldn't bother to get in shape for his interview, that's not encouraging.

[Villain The Foe 9,365]

Hopefully Gurley is healthy

Sounds like a guy you take a flyer on in the 6th round.....

[bealeb319 2,354]

Don't like Henderson to the rams I liked him will be a shame to see him buried behind gurley

A couple of sites have Polite ranked right next to Winovich.  CBS had him sandwiched between Allen and Sweat!

[Titan24 104]

This is a Greg Williams special and I trust it 

[14 in Green 2,974]

Polite and Jenkins were the two guys I was hoping the Jets got in the 3rd.

At least we got one of them. I love this pick!!!

[F00tballGuy69 172]

I've been on the Polite train for a while now.  I would have been fine with Winovich, who was probably the safer pick, but Polite definitely has the higher ceiling.  

Is Kelvin Harmon still out there?  IMO he's a steal at this point in the draft.  

[playtowinthegame 1,530]

I love those Broncos Cheerleaders!

[Jets4Life1979 36]

hopefully mcgovern falls to us

[RutgersJetFan 89,728]

Sanderline Williams!

Polite is a good player. Florida players are always good unlike the ohio state.

not a huge need but holy crap we should have a pretty killer d

Not a huge need??????????????

[Mac is a Tool 108]

Whos the best center right now?

[T0mShane 111,253]

But that's why I'm rooting for the guy. The pre-draft process can tell NFL teams a lot about a player. It can also lead to an enormous misrepresentation. Media members - myself and my co-workers included - and teams pile criticism on these young adults, who are intent upon making a better future for their family. Some teams trash a player because they want to draft him after other teams to pass on that player

Who the **** would write something like this that wasn't directly related to Polite?

Awesome. What could go wrong?

[kevinc855 1,095]

I’m starting to feel Williams wears the pants in the Williams Gase relationship 

[choon328 2,100]

The beat writers are doing their best to spin another defensive selection

[peekskill68 1,016]

Polite seems like the anti-Gholston.  Fat, garbage combine numbers, but knows how to play football...

Not for nothing but this sounds like he's pretty good on  tape but sucked at the testing.  We'll see if it holds true. 

[BornJetsFan1983 5,367]

Seems like a pretty good pick that is the first time I remember Macc have a 1 and 2 round seem like a good pick.

 

[BroadwayRay 1,403]

The good: he’s only 21. 

The bad: DARNOLD IS GOING TO GET KILLED BECAUSE OUR CENTER IS A PARKING ATTENDANT

With first round picks, yes.

With lower round picks, he takes risks all the time.

Reminds me of when i used to read the girls side of the book of baby names until i found out i was having boys.  Like reading the profiles of offensive players every year.
