It's amazing watching you people try and shine sh*t and call it gold. Let me put this into perspective for you: We just traded Leo, a #6 pick and "best player in the draft" i.e. another failed Jets DLineman.....for the equivalent of an ArDarius Stewart and a Chad Hanson to be named later. Better than nothing, not nearly as good as having picked a guy who didn't suck in the first place. Sure, be glad we got something, but gloating over this is like gloating at making a tackle when down 42-3. Agreed, It's not the personnel, it's Adam Gase, but JD wants to throw new meat into the Gase grinder - we'll have to see where this goes but Joe should also fire the OL coach, if he really wants save this season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 My brief thoughts on the Leo saga: His first two years were solid. Marcus Peters was clearly the DROY. He was All Pro year 2. He has only gotten worse. Why? Does not appear to be the beneficiary of an S and C program. I don't know why this does not get more air time. Jets Strength/Medical/Training seem broken. Genius Mac drafts 2 DL last year (no OL), signs Henry Anderson and drafts Quinnen. Even if we wanted Leo, we couldn't afford him. He should have been traded in the off-season. I don't quite understand how much cap room the Jets are using on Leo this year. Sounds like too much. Can we save anything on Kalil? We should not assume there is cap space a plenty next year. There is not. This is somewhat of a win/win situation here. The Jets are not getting a comp pick because they will sign FAs. The Giants may not. So the Giants can take on Leo and get a pick when he leaves. The trade may have created a comp pick that did not exist previously. Mac is never working in the NFL again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busts, who cares, the past means nothing. 3rd round picks for a team who hasn't landed a good 3rd rounder in decades, who cares, new GM, 3rd are good as gold now. It must be great to always see nothing but positive and never see the costs paid, the time invested, the losses, any of the downside of things or care about the past, only the glorious future that is sure to come. There was no alternative. The deal itself is fine. Which is what I said a few times already, but no worries. Best we could probably get. Clearly, the forum has spoken, this is a great trade. If we eliminate what Leo cost us, the time we invested in him and the losses we suffered during his time here, we got a 3rd. That's great. It's a very good trade because of Leo's lack of production. Crying about drafting him at #6 in the first place belongs in other threads. Did you miss the plethora of those threads? I guess you can make up for lost time in those threads right here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s good because you’re getting rid of a non productive player for potential. Of course we have no idea how that’ll turn out yet but for a new GM, it’s more capital to build your team with good players you’ll hopefully pick. Instead of keeping scrubs that do nothing on the team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when we have selected interior DL as often as we have in recent years. With Quinnen around and the emergence of some other dlinemen, this trade was a no brainer. The bigger question is whether we will/should trade Robby. That may be true and in retrospect Williams may have underachieved based on his draft position, but giving him away for a 3 and 5 - look at what the Jets have done with those picks in the past. It's not like he has under-performed in the fashion of a Blair Thomas or a Gholston or a Richardson. He was a viable starting D Lineman. And only 25 years of age, to boot. No question the Giants got the better deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is happy about how this turned out overall. The mistake you are making is not realizing Leo, the "consensus best player in the draft" and #1.6 pick is long long gone. You are looking at Kathleen Turner from body heat and not seeing you were actually dating Kathleen Turner from Californication. This trade is popular become it salvages some value out of a bad situation, and is probably close to the best value anyone could've reasonabled hoped.

Yes, because you can't evaluate a trade based purely on what those picks turn into. If Douglas drafts poorly, he's a poor drafter. That doesn't make this a bad trade. If you trade a bad player for a 1st rounder, is that ever a bad trade for the team that got the 1st? No way. Draft capital is literally the most important factor in building a winner in this league. If Douglas sucks at drafting, we're screwed regardless of what we do. So might as well hope he's good at it and assume we'll get something decent out of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yvj Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 Why are people arguing like we can go back in time and do the draft over? The issue at present is what can be done with Leo and the options at default were let him go for nothing or sign him to a multi year deal. What people are celebrating is that none of those options came to fruition. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
