8 Most Likely Jets Picks at #11

[Sarge4Tide]

So, to me at least, it seems like there are 8 legitimate possibilities for the Jets to pick at #11.  Of course some of the 8 will be off the board and we all know the Jets and they will likely take some random player we never heard of, but assuming that there are at this point 8 very likely names the Jets might pick, what are your thoughts on those 8 players?

[MindOverMatter]

Anyone of those players besides K'Lavon Chaisson....that would be a total disaster. Especially 1 year removed from having the opportunity to draft an edge rusher last year. 

[SR24]

Realistically all 8 are good picks for us at #11 I wouldn't be mad if we left the draft with any of them

[slats]

Oh, I screwed up and picked my top four instead of, you know, actually following instructions. ? 

Rest assured, I think CeeDee Lamb would be a fine pick at #11.

No DL on the list? Sorry, flashbacks.

You come up with some really well thought out polls, Sarge. I'm sure they take quite a bit of time to come up with. Just want you to know that your efforts are appreciated. Yours, KRL's and a few others' threads on this site are a "must open". Very good job on this one too. Thank you.

Any top OT then WR then ED then OG/OC

How could you not be. A 370 pound bulldozer coming straight for you is terrifying. 

[PepPep]

ALL O-LINEMEN. 

A.Thomas, Wirfs (strictly b/c of versatility), Wills, Becton

I pretty much agree. Chaisson should not even be in the conversation for the Jets at 11.

I'm gonna start calling OP "Quinnipiac "

[long time suffering Jets f]

It's really all dependent upon what the Jets do in FA. My overall  first pick is Andrew Thomas  but if they sign the likes of Conklin and Thuney, I would lean towards my 2nd choice of CeeDee Lamb.

Agreed

I don’t see much middle ground there.

Either he’s going to be an all-pro caliber player for a decade or he’ll be out of the league in a few years.

Thomas is still far and away my top choice. Hopefully teams fall in love with the upside of dudes like Becton and Wirfs and Thomas falls to #11.

Hes Yuge, but I think he winds up as a RT or G. I dont see a guy that big being quick enough at LT. He'll wind up a supersized Damien Woody.

So help me, if the Jets take a center with the 11th pick in the draft...

I’ve always said I’d rather take the best IOL or S if it’s a needed position then take the 5th best OT. I would take a OT first then WR, ED then OG/OC. There’s almost zero chance of the top OT, best WR(s) and ED being gone before 11 but if they are I’d rather take the best IOL then. 

[Ohhthepain]

Becton has bust written all over him at LT, hes just too big. Really the only iffy choice @ 11 is Becton, or a defensive player. I'm looking for a plug and play starter at LT with pick 11. I wouldn't hate Lamb or Juedy but I really think our line should be addressed with the first two picks and then we can grab receivers in round 3 or 4.

Me too. Just tough to envision a man of that size playing LT.....guard i would understand.

Big +1.  Sarge is a very solid contributor to this community.

I  am going to answer this using a baseball tone.

Thomas or Wirfs would be a Home Run.  Wills at Guard will be another Home run.   Lamb and Jeudy would be a triple and only because the OT is a bigger need and there are not too many of them that has first round grade.  Chiasson would be a double since having an outside rusher on the edge is a need.  Now Ruggs right now is a single just because I need to watch more tape on him.  Why wasn't he the number 1 receiver at Alabama if he was that fast.  And Becton for me is a Strike Out.  I don't believe he is a quality OT right now. So much development on his feet movement and needs to learn how to drive the opposing player. 

Note:  I would of substituted Becton with Josh Jones.  Now that would be a better quality OT but Excellent Post.

Trade DOWN !..

?

[Larz]

Josh Jones 

[ChuckkieB]

I'd rather have the 1st or 2nd ranked WR on the board as opposed to the 4th or 5th ranked OL. The OL can be addressed adequately in FA where the Jets are not "forced" to take the next available OL at #11.  

A defensive player at ANY position CANNOT be the pick at 11 under any circumstances. 

 

[TheClashFan]

I really hope the Jets wait until the 2nd or 3rd round to grab a WR.  The first pick should be an OT, preferably LT, either with the 11 pick or later with a trade down.

Then, in the second round, look at WR or C. A lot there depends on who is available.

If they do end up going WR in the first, then the second and third round picks (all 3) should be best OL available, with an OT and C among the three.

We need at least two OL from this draft who can start from day one.

 

[Apache 51]

I wish I knew enough( like football smarts, injury prone?,wanting to win etc.) about all the options presented, would never pretend I did. That being said it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know no matter who plays Qb he must be protected. The more picks the better too, so I'm split between a worthy LT/OL, and trading down. If there is no worthy LT or C I trade down for picks and get another OL etc. and WR at least in this WR rich bunch.

[MS jets Fan]

If all OL at 11 I really believe that JD trades down like 5 spots and adds more picks.

There should be a 0.0% chance of taking a center at #11 no matter how cuddly he is. That's a move for a contender that has 2 holes left to fill, not a dozen of them. Even then it's likely terrible value there, as you'd just trade down to get the same player. 

It's not an accident that it's the lowest-compensated OL position. There are like 20 tackles making more than the highest paid center. There's every likelihood that Beachum will cost more this year than any center in NFL history. I'm not sure there's been a single center taken in the top half of round 1 in the last 30 years. 

If the best OL on the board is a center, then trade down or just take another position. No exceptions. Not even if he eventually becomes the best center in football.

I’d rather have a Mangold or Mawae on the team then a long shot at another position.

There is no Mawae or Mangold in this class.

I used to be big on Biadasz but his bowl game performance was so utterly sh*tastic that he can pretty much kiss goodbye any chance he previously had at going in the Top 40, much less the Top 20.
