Untouchable Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I think we’ve all, or at least most of us, come to grips with the likelihood that the Jets are winning at least 2-3 more games this year and finishing outside of the Top 5 pecking order. If that’s the case, then honestly...f*ck taking one of the lesser OT’s. The OL should be bolstered by the time we arrive at the draft anyway. Though of course, I would still want to add at least one more quality OL by the 3rd round at the latest. But I’m not completely sold on any of the lot that includes Wirfs, Leatherwood, Jackson, Little, etc. I think a lot of fans have this misplaced mindset that OL are safer picks than many other positions. Despite the fact that OT has one of the highest bust rates of any position in the 1st round over the last 10-12 years. If we were somehow in position to land Andrew Thomas, then sure, take him without thinking twice. But I’m not taking one of these 2nd rate OL over guys like Jeudy or Lamb, either of which would be the most talented wideout we’ve had since at least the days of Al Toon and would provide a go-to target in the passing game for the next decade barring injury. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepPep Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I would not mind Jeudy or Lamb. I'd prefer Jeudy just b/c I think he has bigger upside. However, Jets could still look for a trade down or possibly land the top CB (Okudha). I also think Wirfs has very low bust potential and is very close to A.Thomas as far as an O-line prospect. To me, the drop off starts after those two. Wirfs is also the type of guy that can move insode and play OG, hes probably more versatile than A.Thomas if not as polished in pass protection. I think the problem with taking Juedy or Lamb #1 for the Jets is that this is such a deep draft at the WR position and the Jets have so many needs. So once you pass on O-line, Edge and CB in the first round, you better make sure you hit on at least one of those later in the draft, and its going to be hard as the talent starts to dry up while theres still plenty of WRs on the board and you have already taken Jeudy or Lamb.

Untouchable Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 All aboard the Lamb train He’s officially overtaken Jeudy as my favorite WR in the draft. Kid looks like a clone of DeAndre Hopkins. Attacks the hell out of the ball, great at using his body to shield defenders and has the speed to get behind a defense. Jeudy, similar to Amari Cooper coming out, seems to have an issue with concentration drops. It was on full display in both Alabama losses to LSU and Auburn. I don’t think he has the athletic ability to scare teams at the next level either. Great route runner and very savvy, again, similar to Cooper...and I think that’s essentially who he is at the next level. Solid, respectable #1. Lamb has the potential to be one of the true elites at the position within 2-3 years time. Assuming the Jets address the OL in FA and guys like Andrew Thomas and Chase Young are off the board, I’m all about pairing Lamb with Darnold for the next decade plus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Lamb appears to be bigger so he gets the edge of the two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 in Green Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 We’re going to be in another rebuilding period, it looks like. A shiny new WR would be nice, but I’m thinking we should concentrate on the OL and then ER and CB. That seems to be where good teams are solid, along with the QB position of course. If Darnold is a good QB, when given time in the pocket, he will be able to throw guys open. They’re nice to have, but teams can win without star WRs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This board has gone a little lamb crazy (heh) over recent weeks. Not saying it's impossible, but odds are better lamb gets selected in the 16-32 range than 1-15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both remind me of Anquan Boldin, and I loved Anquan Boldin. With today's rules Boldin would be an absolute terror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally cool with me if we snag AGG, but I will literally die if we spend a pick before the 4th round on Shenault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
