They’re being positive about it, however there is nothing to really support that view.

We may like his qualifications prior to coming here, but until we see some free agency periods and some drafts, we have no idea how he will be. People were optimistic about Maccagnan because he had a scouting background, but he presided over the worst 5 year draft stretch that any GM has ever had with this franchise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is it^ he’s got about the best qualifications a first time GM can have. Guy is wearing two super bowl rings and has been around for 16+ years working with some great minds. His ideology may very well be of the right kind because of that but the biggest question will be can he draft the correct players to fulfill the success of that very blueprint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically ran the draft for the Eagles the last 3 years and it hasn’t gone well. I’m willing to give him a chance, but I’m very weary of any guy who supports Adam Gase as head coach as an evaluator of humans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money that is saved can be put towards improving the OL. How much "dead money" would the Jets have to absorb if they do trade Bell? Are his guarantees fulfilled? Not sure about that. I happen to like Bell and hope Gase gets his head out of his a$$ and decides to utilize Bell to help Darnold. I want a Jets team that runs the ball and imposes it's will on it's opponent. Maybe that is too much to ask from the "offensive genius" Gase, who is so determined to prove he is just that - but he can't see the forest for the trees.

There are a few names being thrown around as potential first round LTs so hopefully they can land one of them. Either Andre Thomas, Tristan Wirfs or Jedrick Wills who's draft stock is rising. JD needs to sign or trade for 2 top OL that are young and rising. No more of these over the hill FA’s that we’re once prominent. Then draft the best 2 OL you can with your top 2 picks. Still need 1 more OLineman. There’s only so many plugs available to repair a cracked dam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
