Potential Picks From The Draft Simulator

If Okudah is sitting there at 11, someone will call in behind us to see if the pick is available. Okudah is a STUD & I don't think he'll make it to 11, he's the best CB in the draft but in this scenario, JD is moving back with more picks to fill this roster. 

If they could move down a few spots and get a 2nd rounder I’d be happy as ****.

He's an edge rusher something we've needed for a long long time.  Wouldn't be a sexy pick but he would fill a big need

Obviously this is going to change a lot between now and the draft but it’s interesting to see who will be available for the Jets pick at 11. 
After running a bunch of mocks these are the top players available at 11. 

From that list who would you take?

None, someone not on this list will fall. Jeudy, Lamb, Wirfs, Wills... If you are drafting Niang or Biadasz in the first round, you are doing it wrong. These are second round draft picks. 

[FidelioJet 11,003]

Drafting anything but WR or OL in the first round would bd an unmitigated disaster.

I’ve done that draft simulator before. It’s not realistic, IMO . I got almost the exact scenario

In a 3-4 defense he’s a DE that’s a DL. If he was an OLB it would be different.

That’s not answering the original question. That’s how it fell so who do you take and who has Biadasz going in the first? They have them ranked but I definitely wouldn’t pick him.

 But are the Jets really a 3-4 defense?  If they drafted Epenesa the Jets could credibly be a 4-3 defense and look more like the 49ers.   the LBs they have could be 4-3 off ball LBs.   It is actually a better construction of the roster given who they have and where the money is being spent.

Based on prior years, players like Biadasz and Niang could conceivably fall at the end of the first round.  Biadasz needs to show who is the real player here.

if those are the choices then maybe trading back in order.  not many oline guys and it looks like the ones that are there aren't even ranked high enough to be the 11th pick.

You can't count on being able to trade back.  It just doesn't happen for the Jets.

Williams seems to play a base 3-4 with the Jets but who knows. It obviously depends on who they resign and get in FA.

Again not a sexy pick but if the board falls the way it does here it wouldn't be a bad pick. Not saying I'd be psyched but I'd understand it

I didn’t watch a ton of him playing is he any better then Leonard Williams was?

I don't believe we will be limited to these options.  

If it did, we take the best WR/O-Line/Edge/CB I suppose, and hope we have better luck later in the draft.

Good motor, solid hands and he's definitely disruptive. Leonard had more tackles but less sacks Leo's best season for sacks saw him turn out 8 sacks, Epenesa only had 4.5 his 1st year but his last 2 he's combined for 22 sacks. He crushed Austin Jackson (widely regarded as a t5 OT) when they played as well. I'm praying one of the OTs falls I really like Wirfs but if we end up with Epensa I can live with it. Switching to a 4-3 might be beneficial as well but it's a total crapshoot from now until the jets are on the clock lol

Thats a terrible fall if it happened that way but you have to take okudah.... Guy is going to be an all star...

I wouldn't mind espensa, maybe Ruggs or Higgins but sh*t that would be bad... I was pre-empting the you have to take a OL in the first crowd no matter what, which is just dumb.

[Darnold Schwarzenegger 1,607]

The athletic just did a 2 Rd mock.

They have us taking becton, the 4th tackle over both jeudy and lamb. I'd rather take the best wr over the 4th best olineman. They also have us taking Robert hunt interior OL in the 2nd

Here's how they have the top 10

1 Burrow, 2 young, 3 okudah, 4 Will's, 5 Tua, 6 Herbert, 7 Derek brown, 8 Wirfs, 9 Simmons, 10 A Thomas

[jetsons 3,238]

I really do not want Espenesa... I don’t see him doing much in the NFL.

This!

And, it's not only because we're hard-coding ourselves to those positions it's because THIS IS AN OT AND WR DRAFT!  For the first time in a while what the Draft has is EXACTLY what the Jets need.  Lots of good OTs, lots of good WRs.  Whether we go OT then WR or WR then OT, whether we trade down a bit before picking, etc. I don't care....but that will be the value when the Jets are on the board.

Further, if a guy like Okudah somehow slips to #11 (which would surprise me) then there has to be a reason for it.  It might scare me off.  There aren't a ton of good CBs in this Draft.  If anything he should go earlier than expected because after the first 2-3 guys the talent drops off, whereas there are easily 6-10 draftable OTs and 6-10 draftable WRs that will be spread over the first 2 rounds and it won't be a reach to take them.

Round 3 seems like a good spot to go Edge (probably a more one-dimensional pass rusher, a 3rd down guy who may have to grow into a full time role) and Interior OLine.

JMHO.

They can have their opinion but there is no way the Jets pass on Jeudy for Becton.

Wrong. If Okudah actually falls to 11. Which he won't. It's absurd that he is there in this simulator, but thats how these simulators are sometimes. You take the top rated shut down CB who fill a huge need. He's not just a top rated CB, he's a top 5 prospect, IMO. The draft is deep at WR and OL, I'm sorry, I'm not taking Ruggs, Higgins or Becton or Biadasz at 11 when Okudah is on the board. Again, this is a practice in futility b/c he won't drop that far. 

[Augustiniak 8,761]

when all is said and done i doubt both lamb and jeudy make it to the jets at 11.

Becton is a huge reach at this point, IMHO he is 2-3 years away from being a NFL starter and project.... but would still be the best OL on the Jets right now (That's sad).  And skipping the Jeudy and Lamb is a huge mistake.

I was just reading up on him and he sounds like a project OT that got by on his size and doesn’t have good technique. In the laters rounds sure but you can’t pass on two top WRs for him.

I think we don't need a speedster. We need a big physical WR who will go get the big catches and fight for the ball. We have a speedy WR in anderson. Even if he leaves, I think a big prototypical WR#1 is what we need

We need Demaryius Thomas from 5-6 years ago..

[NYJ1 2,290]

I don't think there's any way Grant Delpit is still available at 11. Even assuming he would be there's no way the Jets would have any interest in drafting him. Delpit more than likely goes top 5.

Robbie is fast! You look at KC with Hill, Hardman and Watkins! An overabundance of speed. 

Speed kills..... as long as they can run routes well and catch the ball.

DT was a project coming out GT... He was what Hill was suppose to be... before Hill came out. both from GT and no route running capabilities... the difference is that DT learned under Gase and Manning and found out how to run better routes, Hill was entitled and out of football.
