JetHammer Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I don't necessarily disagree with the above but to address the edge could it that Lee will move out there from inside. After all he has speed to burn the edge and is good in coverage. Did he not play there for Ohio? I seem to remember that we were all surprised when he was moved inside. Also ansah is still available...an option seeing as our front looks like a Swiss army knife now. Fyiw glad we got q but also thinking about the whatifs if we managed to trade out.

jamesr Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I haven't watched the draft in many years, due to the time difference to the UK. Last year I woke up on the Fri AM and read we'd drafted Darnold. Couldn't believe it, I was buzzing all day. This year I read we'd drafted Q. Not quite the same reaction. I doubt any pick would have got me buzzing, but it does feel underwhelming even though we got the "best player in the draft". Hopefully it'll look better with hindsight once the games start in Sept. I'm actually more excited about Day 2 to see if we can grab some good value with our two picks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrebetfan80 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 they tried to facilitate a trade but the compensation was not enough to move down... had mac taken the deals everyone here would be complaining he got fleeced.. the staff and front office were both very high on williams to begin with so taking him over mediocre offers to trade down just made more sense than taking a substandard return. Teams gambled to stay where they were and they ended up being right. It happens. Now i do think williams can be a top player, the problem becomes its just more of the same. I was in favor of dropping down to select a OT and grab extra draft picks to help fortify the line and passrush. That plan wasnt able to take place so the team pivoted and made the move to draft a player with an incredibly high ceiling. It's not a bad pick, if you dont like the player fine, but the pick itself is not a BAD pick.. its just overkill to a fanbase that has seen this story before and been burned out by it. Theres a lot of rounds left and the jets will still be trying to trade back into the second round. Look for players on the current roster to possibly be moved today in packages to move back into the second round, espeically if Taylor continues to slide down the draft (he was a jet favorite from day 1) . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. People here are acting like Mac turned down some great offer to move down. If he was offered pennies on the dollar, would these people still want to trade down? I'm sure Williams had a big say in who was drafted at that spot, and unlike Bowles and company actually knows what he is doing. Let's see what happens the rest of the draft before going off the cliff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamax99 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 We have great DT s ? Where? You just took top prospect in draft. Qw had more QB pressures then any DE in college football this year. Avg 11 a game. I did want Josh Allen has more upside as speed rusher , but also more downside. I think we sign Ziggy next day or two. Its ok people u took value over need , but close in value I get it. What if we took c ferrel with pick ? Would u be happy? . The cat is do contract next year, what if he wants crazy money or if Clowney becomes avl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scott Dierking Posted April 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2019 @TeddEY On a quick serach, I could not find a stat for percentage of plays, but did find this interesting direct comparison to Oliver. I don't know A STATISTICAL COMPARISON OF OUTLAND WINNERS QUINNEN WILLIAMS AND ED OLIVER January 16, 2019 · by marksimonsis · in College Football · Leave a comment BY BRYCE ROSSLER For the first time in six years, the NFL Draft will feature two Outland Trophy winners, both of whom figure to be selected early. But, this occurrence is especially strange because both players in question, Houston’s Ed Oliver and Alabama’s Quinnen Williams, are defenders (the award is given to the best interior linemen, on offense or defense). The last time that two defensive winners of the trophy were in the same draft was 1978, which featured Notre Dame’s Ross Brown and Texas’s Brad Shearer. And perhaps that’s fitting since the defensive line is considered the strength of this class, a group that Oliver and Williams still manage to stand out from. For most of last offseason, Oliver was billed by some as the surefire top selection in the class, but that was before Williams ascended to the throne with a dominant 2018 campaign. Whereas the former has been a known commodity for some time now, the latter seemingly came out of nowhere. Both of Williams’ running mates at Alabama, Isaiah Buggs and Raekwon Davis, were certainly attracting more attention in preseason. But, once he hit the field, Williams quickly became the focus of opposing teams. The Crimson Tide sophomore ranked first in run stuff rate (i.e. solo tackles for non-positive yardage) among 339 defensive tackles with at least 100 run snaps. His rate of 6.8 percent was about a full percentage point higher than the next-best interior player, South Alabama’s Tyree Turner (5.8). And in case you were wondering – his Outland predecessor ranked third with a rate of 5.3 percent. That difference is even further accentuated when you consider that teams aimed runs towards Williams on 19 percent of their rushing attempts, as opposed to 29 percent of the time for Oliver. And when teams did run at Williams, he caused the ballcarrier to bounce the play 43 percent of the time – nearly ten-plus percentage points more often than Oliver did (34 percent). Williams was an even bigger difference-maker as a pass-rusher, boasting a hurry rate of 13.8 percent. That dwarfs the second-highest figure, which belongs to San Jose State’s Boogie Roberts, by 2.8 percentage points. Oliver once again ranks fourth with a still-excellent hurry rate of 10.5 percent. But, to give you an idea of just how impactful Williams was, his hurry rate outpaced that of several edge rushers who will merit first round consideration in April, namely: Clemson’s Clelin Ferrell (12.1 percent), Florida State’s Brian Burns (11.5), Mississippi State’s Montez Sweat (10.5), and Michigan’s Rashan Gary (9.5). While the NFL will present a new set of challenges for Williams, his hurry rate this year was comparable to Aaron Donald’s at the NFL level. This doesn’t mean that he’ll be able to maintain that productivity on Sundays, but it does serve to illustrate his level of collegiate dominance. (If anything, it should serve to illustrate how futile the search for the next Aaron Donald is) The bottom line is that both players project to be three-down difference-makers early in their careers. The advanced metrics seem to favor Williams, but an argument could be made that the already-established and obviously-talented Oliver suffered from a junior-year drop off as Jadeveon Clowney and Myles Garrett once did, and that he was capable of imposing his will more often. At any rate, statistics can only begin to contextualize a player’s performance, and film is what tells the full story. A more traditional perspective on each (and more advanced stats like these) can be found in the Football Rookie Handbook (details to come on that in the near-future). 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I was awake and was hoping they traded the pick, or worst case selected Allen QW is a great kid who will be a solid Jet but a predictable pick that makes me hate being a Jets fan (although the vagiants pick was much worse) to make it worse, now we wait for Leo (another solid Jet) to be traded so they can get back a second round pick and maybe try to help Sam Jaguars and Redskins stole the first round thanks to incompetent NY football Mac can't get fired soon enough 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
