Popular Post Jets723 Posted January 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2020 I know his has been a weakness more many years but I’m pretty happy with this position going forward with Herndon, Griffin, and Even Wesco. Yes I know injuries stalled a good chunk of the season for Herndon and Griffin but on the field both Established great chemistry with Sam. So I’m looking forward to seeing with these three do going forward hopefully with the injuries out of the way. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Beerfish Posted January 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2020 I think we need to draft another TE this year. (Later in the draft) I do not trust Herndon after this past year. Griffins injury was a bad one. Wesco has shown absolutely zero. I can see your point being more enthused than the past and if both Herndon and Griffin come into next year injury free and with their heads on straight it could be pretty good. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Can we trade QW for Hockenson? ? Cause I would....... In theory Herndon + Griffin should be ok. If they stay healthy. And don't get suspended or the like. Darnold likes both of them (it seemed). I'm not a huge fan of either tbqh, but they should be acceptable weapons. Wouldn't mind a real road-grader TE tho, to bolster the running game at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Both are better TEs than any of those that preceded them for many years, so that's certainly a big plus, and I appreciated Douglas being proactive enough to get Griffin a new deal when he had clearly shown himself to deserve it. With that said, there are certainly concerns with both, starting with health issues, and also questions about their long-term ability. I think Griffin is a solid #2, but 7 years into his career already, you can't expect any more out of him than what the Jets got this season. Herndon I felt was a bit over-hyped coming into the season as there were a lot of assumptions being made based solely on grading him on a rookie curve, but there's never any guarantees that all players will grow leaps and bounds from there, and his lack of a second year doesn't help with that either. In the end, TE is still probably dead last on the list of Jets' needs on offense, but that also doesn't necessarily mean there's no concerns at the position either. It shouldn't see any major investment made to it right now, but if there's any options they really like for a moderate price (i.e., middle/lower-tier FA or late-round pick), it would still be worth doing. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The incident happened almost two years ago Hope so, I don’t see them using draft capital on TE this year.

Oh I agree. Its always important to keep an eye out for possible upgrades. Griffin is a little older so that is a small concern for me but the injuries are probably the biggest thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrebetfan80 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 They may sign a mid range FA at TE but realistically i dont see them drafting one this year. The crop is mediocre, although there can be some good later round options. I think they'll give this group another year to see how they come along (especially herndon and wesco) and then reevaluate next offseason and possibly draft one next offseason. OL, WR, EDGE, CB and RB will most likely be the main targets in the draft with them looking to come out of the draft with 2 OL and 2 WR in their perfect world. Dont be surprised if they go EDGE at 11 if they dont have a deal to move down and a OT they like on the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was disappointed in him. He has a lot of making up to do. People make mistakes so hopefully he learned from this past year and is ready to go because he was good for us in his rookie year. Both him and Griffin can help stretch the field significantly if healthy and have the best mindset 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the general tenor of your post, but the positivity about our TE position is a bit much IMO. ASJ, and Jace Amaro have had Jets seasons with more receiving yards than Griffin had last year. Hell, in 2013, both Cumberland and Kellen Winslow Jr. had more yards than Griffin in 2019. Worse, that was the 2nd best season in Griffin's 7 year career. Herndon was a bit better, but he hasn't exactly shown himself to be reliable.

Dcat Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Quote The TE position going forward Yes, I'd like to see it go forward. Last year it went backward thanks to Herndon's suspension followed by injury. Without Griffin, it would have been a complete disaster. Griffin + Herndon on paper sounds great. Freaking Henrdon. I'm not sure we can trust him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsjets Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Guess I’ll go a different route here. I believe Herndon will have a comeback year and if we can get Griffin out there with him we can do some damage in the reD zone. Still see them grabbing 3 or 4 TEs for training camp. Jets like blocking TEs to help with the run game and help cover up the mistakes of the OL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenFish Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Yup. I like the TE position going forward as well. I’d consider a late pick (5th -7th) on a TE though if the right player was available. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apache 51 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I think some here under rate the TE position especially for a young QB. I have always valued the TE position.

In my mind, I see no urgent needs at TE, as a matter of fact, I see it as a pleasant surprise strength going forward. I could be wrong, but it is my opinion 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
