Easy to get 8 sacks when your running mates are Campbell and Ngakoue. I wanted Allen too, simply to help put a dent in our dire need for outside pass rush, but you're absolutely right. Allen is benefitting from being on a very, very good defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every prospect is a projection, but QW did not have a ton of red flags. I'm not sure where you get your info. He was considered one of the safest players in the Draft and a concensus Top 3 (in some cases Top 2 with Bosa) talent. Played against top talent in the SEC and dominated those opponents much of the time. Are you saying QW was a reach and a surprise pick in the Top 3? I don't think I've heard that from anyone. Sure, there are lots of people who preferred a different player in that spot (I personally wanted Josh Allen from Kentucky, several here wanted Ed Oliver or even Jonah Williams) but I don't think I've heard a single person say that Quinnen Williams wasn't one of the very top prospects. I think we need to give him some time. He's playing better than both defenders taken right after him and he's graded out better than Ed Oliver so far. I'm not pushing a panic button simply because he hasn't had the big breakout yet. Yes he did have a ton of question marks and I know you've read several of them here. Lets list them quick. One year wonder Bama player that gets boosted by the talent around him Bama player whose team was ahead double digits by the second quarter Did I mention interior Bama player Those are legit red flags and we're seeing it right now. Too answer your question he got drafted around where he was slotted. Doesn't make it the right pick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Goodman Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 He sucks now but he’ll get better. Hopefully sooner rather than later. And this next part is not his fault, but it was just a horrendous pick. Interior defensive linemen with the 3rd overall. Unreal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to get 8 sacks when your running mates are Campbell and Ngakoue. 8 sacks is 8 sacks my man. when he was at Kentucky he had what, 17 sacks in a season? And everyone questioned them because they were "easy" and he "went unblocked" and they were "unimpressive". Now it's the supporting cast. But the facts are that this kid gets to the qb. Jets had the elite pass rusher they have been looking for the past 15 years sitting in their lap. And they passed on him for QW and his 11 tackles. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSJF Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 He'd be awesome if he didn't suck... we always give these guys years, and excuses... most recently Leonard Williams, remember how he was being double teamed…he's almost getting to the QB... Either you got it or you don't, so far another waste… I pray Joe Douglas knows how to draft 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in and out all game due to the rotation up front.

Popular Post BurnleyJet Posted November 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2019 The shilling for this kid is funny, he’s Leonard “zero impact” Williams 2.0. Our Dline is fine without him, personally I’d love to move him for an 1st round pick if possible? A terrible Macc pick, for the 3rd overall selection. Anyone who says different is just a homer. Given a hypothetical re-draft the Jets pick Josh Allen 100 times out of 100. “He needs a year in the weight room, he needs time to develop” blah blah blah. Earth to Jets, if he needs these things, then he’s should Never have been Drafted 3rd overall. I want NFL ready at #3 not a project. Allen is plug and play. Williams isn’t. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those older, savvy, veteran offensive linemen know the tricks of the trade to minimize what you can do. I think it takes a while to really emerge. Well, considering we were being sold "the next Aaron Donald," it's worth mentioning that the 1st Aaron Donald had 9 sacks, 13 QB hits, and 2 FF in his rookie year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maury77 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I didn't want Quinnen Williams (I wanted Josh Allen), but I think people calling him a bust are getting ahead of themselves. He may still be dealing with an ankle injury. Additionally, he isn't playing to his strengths often enough. If you are going to employ Quinnen as a space eater in a 3-4, you are never going to get the most out of him. I think next year, after Quinnen has a full off season in a pro S&C program, if you see him playing a 3 tech in a 4-3, we will start to see the player many were expecting to see this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't enough evidence that he'd be a difference maker at the next level to justify this pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR24 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I just don't get why we'd draft the best 3 technique DT in the draft who's best in a 4-3, pairing him with a DC who's known for a 4-3 only to have him play in a 3-4 with no edge presence? QW has been underwhelming and I hate IDL in the top 10 but is the plan to switch to a 4-3 next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope like hell this isn't another first round bust like many before him. For the record I wanted Josh Allen the edge rusher. I think a good part of the forum wanted Allen but There was one thing the cretin was consistent, taking the BPA regardless of the team needs. We needed a pass rushers bad and JA was there in a gold plate and as usual we went for a position that we were stacked. As a fan it is so freaking infuriating. I also wanted Marquise Brown. Either would had helped this team than keep stacking first round BPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All true. im still surprised at how often the score gets overlooked (and their schedule last year)... Bama was on average up 23 points by half time last year... you don’t have to be a team scout to know how that will skew numbers for dlinemen who get to then chase QBs around in must pass situations regardless - I’m sure QW will fine (not great) in the long run. The thing is - we just don’t need him. We needed OLINE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
