Popular Post Adoni Beast Posted February 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2020 This is a guy to keep an eye for Douglas’ free agency. Set to hit FA, from Philly, can play LT or RT, but better at right...young and won’t break the bank. You sign him, let Beechum walk, and if we don’t draft a LT in RD 1 this guy is more than capable of filling in (he was the LT when they won the Super Bowl and Peters was hurt). Or you draft a LT in RD 1, and you have your RT in Vaitai. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfield Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I agree. I have mentioned him a few times. Can play guard as well. I think the Jets have to sign 2 offensive lineman and i think Vaitai could definitely be one of those guys. Drafted in Douglas’ first year with the Eagles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need one of those players to be Thuney or Conklin (we can’t afford both with all the holes we have at edge, corner, and wr as well). Thuney would be Leveon’s best friend, opening up those inner running lanes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbia Jet Fan Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Never heard of this guy before - just spent 10 min reading about him and couldn’t agree more. Versatile, young guy trending up, worst case he’s a flexible depth guy... given Douglas connection actually feel good about our chances of getting him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepy Lurker Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 OL depth players that can adequately play multiple positions on the OL, are just as important as a starter on the OL. You need an OL with a valuable 6th man so I hope we acquire players like this if they fit our scheme. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only caveat is I think Gase is planning on starting Edoga at RT. I honestly don’t think so. I think Edoga has potential but had a brutal rookie season. He’s depth and possibly will play spots at right guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s accepted that he’s looking at RT $ instead of LT, then I think this is a guy we are definitely signing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Thuney was a Guard? In any case, Vaitai at LT/RT and Thuney at OG would be a great "get" in FA. I'd also bring back Alex Lewis either to start at OG or for depth. Trying to land Glasgow, the C/OG from Detroit, would be worth the effort as well. If 3 of those 4 names are Jets at the end of March then Joe Douglas gives himself infinite flexibility in the Draft. Could go LT, RT, WR or even trade back. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I like Thuney, I’ve thought about it a lot. He’s unlikely to come here. The Pats have been laughing at the Jets for a decade. Then we have the “ghosts” game. Why would he sign on for that??? Anyway... I like this idea. He will const about half of Conklin I’d say so it’s smart on that side of things too. One thing I can say is that I believe the top of our front office are actually good talent scouts now. I feel good about their evaluation process at least for now. I’d like to think they can find and nab the gems out there. This guy would seem to be one of those.

Scott Dierking Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Saw him play a lot (in the Philly market). A BIG pass on this guy. Soft and was a turnstile at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soft and was a turnstile at times. Doh! That's not good but appreciate the opinion. I did look up his PFF grade... which was better than Beachum's in 2019.... Vaitai performed better, is slightly bigger, is a little faster, averaged fewer sacks allowed per snap played than Beachum, fewer penalties per snap played than Beachum and is 4 years younger. Seems like an upgrade to me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I think Vaitai makes sense. Position versatility is extremely helpful when you're basically trying to build an offensive line from scratch. You can probably pencil in one of Vaitai/Edoga as a starter. Head into the draft with Vaitai, Edoga, Harrison, a big FA signing at G/T and a small FA signing at G/T (I'd prefer two bigger signings but Vaitai may a the big one). Hopefully two or three draft picks win competitions for starting jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wants to sign Thuney, Scherff, and Conklin but its just not happening. Realistically we’re looking at Thuney or Conklin...and young up and coming player, and maybe a depth back up in free agency. And that’s okay! Then we draft a LT and a guard or center in the draft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy 2 Times Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Sign him then let Beachum walk. It allows us to draft Thomas or Wirfs. Use Shell and Chumba as depth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
