Just dumb... Draft a WR or Okudah if he falls. no it wouldn't, not in the least. You are telling me that the 4th ranked OT is not worth our 11 pick? based on?? Look 1 - its highly unlikely that the first 3 would be gone, thats number one- so your scenario is already fantasy. 2 - no one know is the the first 3 ranked guys will be any great superstar - generally speaking they can bust or be ave NFL quality - so saying the 4th one is way worse is stupid. That is dumb. 3 draft others sure, but word is is he going OT and that is smart move because we need it. How you can not understand that is funny to me 4 I trust Joe D to get a us a good OT in the first and happy finally someone is willing to do it, our team has needed it. I hope that he gets like 2 or 3 of them. Last year in the draft we had good prospects last in few rounds. so I think a guy like Joe D will get a top targeted one and also a couple other good ones as well. His commitment is refreshing, just because it is an obvious pick doesn't make it less paramount or smart. 5 that pretty much all i wanted to say - obviously this would be a great move for us in the draft and the mostly likely of scenarios is that we get a stud OT in the first. I hope maybe even another pick in the first somehow to grab some off talent. But I be good with 2 lineman in the first. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing else he could draft that would benefit the team as much as an OT. A revamped OL would have an infinite benefit. Both the running and passing could easily be twice as good as it was in 2019. YES. It's currently that bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Beachum doesn't break the bank, I would be inclined to agree. If he prices himself out of range, then it may be better to groom a younger replacement and use the cap space on solid veteran guards for the OL.

This is just from a quick search, and supports that Beachum was above average. The question is whether he wants above average money or top of the market money given the scarcity of OL in the market. In 13 games this season, Beachum earned a 67.1 overall grade, landing him in PFF's "above average" category. That mark put Beachum as the 40th best tackle in the NFL this season. While not the most impressive number, it only goes downhill from there for the Jets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekhi Becton projects as a starting left tackle at the NFL level — and a damn good one. Becton has all the length and functional power in the world, pairing it with a rare blend of flexibility and size. Becton is a brawler in the run game and his pure size overwhelms many pass rushers off the edge. There are still some technique consistencies to still be ironed out but generally speaking the ceiling here is sky high and there's a foundation that should allow early production at LT. 6'7" 369 lb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the voice of reason here It's highly likely all 3 are gone by 11 so that is false... Most of the teams in the top 10 are desperate for OL Taking an absolute stand on 1 position no matter what is always a bad idea There is 6 other draft picks to pick OL and FA as well If Joe D believes in the guy I feel I have to trust him but that Becton kid is a 2-3 year project not an NFL Starter yet. .. You don't take on 1st round projects they nearly all fail You need talent on this Jets roster... They need WRs and CBs and Edge rusher... To take absolute stands on one position in the first round is doomed for failure since you should be drafting talent in this round and not for need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I would guarantee Beachum 1.5 years of very good LT money over 2-3 years. Spread out his cost. Make it expensive to cut him before year 3 and give both parties an incentive to have it work out for 2 years. So something like 3 years, 10mm/year, 15 guaranteed over first two years, cap cost 10mm/year. Basically a 2 year insurance policy and he finishes his career with another 15-20mm. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Obviously if 5 OTs went in the first 10 picks, we won't be taking an OT... but... BUT.... You're right, i've heard the same scuttlebut, that it's definitely priority #1. That's start of his flowchart and I expect #11 to be an OT if they haven't been pilfered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
