ljr Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 ok ... I am 1000% onboard with pick best OL at 11 or trade down & then pick best OL available but what I am 1,000,000% on board with is pick probable stud LT(or Wills) over probable very good/decent LT (and/or probable stud OG,C) _______ What number LT/OT do you believe the drop from stud to very good is at? (what number does Joe Douglass believe that to happen at?) Jedrick Wills, Alabama (JR, 6'5", 320 pounds) Andrew Thomas, Georgia (JR, 6'5, 320 pounds) Mekhi Becton, Louisville (JR, 6'7", 369 pounds) Tristan Wirfs, Iowa (JR, 6'5", 322 pounds) Josh Jones, Houston (SR, 6'5", 311 pounds) Austin Jackson, USC (JR, 6'6", 310 pounds) _______ Do you see all 6 above the Mendoza line? Do you see 5? What if you/Joe only see 4? _______ Cleveland is going OT at pick 10 _______ 3 OT's(including Wills) are gone with Jacksonville on the clock at pick 9 (you and or Douglass see the significant drop happen between 4th OT to 5th OT) do you consider a trade up? Does Joe? If Joe trades up can you give him the benefit of the doubt with his evaluation? draft value chart is 4th rounder can you offer that? can you offer less that that but something (5th,6th,7th)? ________ I'm not smart enough to know if there is a significant enough drop to warrant such a trade. At this point I give Joe Douglass the benefit of the doubt to defer to his judgement on this call. (the offer to trade back if we see the significant drop is either nothing or so minimal that Douglass can't do it) ________ Food for thought? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAD_Brooklyn Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Yes, trade up and select your guy. FA should also give us more clarity on who to narrow down on. Scheme fit also plays a huge part. The difference bewteen the 9th and 11th overall on the draft chart is 100 points. That's a high 4th rounder. Would the Jags accept our 3rd and swap it with their 4th to move up? Not interested in spending a premium at all. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I posted this in another thread as well, but looking back at Douglas tenure with the Eagles, they were very active in moving around the board during the draft. In 2019, they moved up for Andre Dillard. In 2018, they traded back out of the first round with the Ravens who moved up for Lamar Jackson. After acquiring the Ravens 2, the Eagles moved up in the 2nd for Dallas Goedtert. They have moved playrs for picks (Eric Rowe) and moved picks for players (Jay Ajayi and Ronald Darby). And they have moved all over the board. Moving up, moving back during the draft. Howie Roseman was the ultimate decision maker in Philly, not Douglas, but I don't think it is a stretch to think Douglas could be equally active. If he sees a guy he likes, I can see him going to get him. I think it is more likely on day 2 than day 1, given the cost of moving up. But if we whiff on OT in FA, then I would not be shocked if JD makes sure we get a likely starter out of the draft, even if that means a trade up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Stay put. There are 11...actually 20+ players who could immediately help the Jets.

Big_Slick Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I'd back JD if he gave a 4th to jump over the Browns if the top three OL were off the board and JD decided the drop off from #4 to #5 lineman was worth losing the pick. It's almost a certainty that the Browns and Jets will go OL. Jacksonville will still get their choice moving from #9 to #11. I'd also back JD if he decided to jump up to #7 Carolina if the top two OL he had on the Jets board was still available and if he could make that move with the second 3rd pick. Generally I dislike trading away picks especially when the Jets have so many needs but if a true franchise LT is available then it's worth it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTJet Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 47 minutes ago, Losmeister said: no ******* way Exactly. It's this simple, there are a segment of Jets fans that freak out no matter where we pick, every year. - Pick too high, we HAVE to trade back. (Giving up the chance to get a star player) - Pick too low, we HAVE to trade up. (Giving up valuable assets to maybe get a star player) Every year, ALWAYS worried the guy we need is JUST out of our reach. Let me ask you, What happens more often than not?... The best players are players we actually passed on. We need to stay put, and make the correct selection. Period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Ask me this question again after FA. As of now, the tackles on our roster are Chuma Edoga, Conor McDermott and Benjamin Braden. 10 starts between them in their careers. 8 of them by Edoga. If we signficantly upgrade the position in FA, then no way do I want to pay the price to move up from 11. But if we whiff in FA, we may have little option but to move up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 5 other selections before us, and people think 3 of those 5 will happen to be OL? At most, 2 may be gone, and in the event 3? Then hell yes, let the best WR fall to us then.

With how deep this draft is at WR we could easily select 2 WRs with our 2nd and remaining 3rd. I hear you, but a couple of things: 1) Yes, OL is our biggest need, but WR is our second biggest need and becomes even weaker if we let Anderson walk. WR is not that much less of a priority than OL if we don't resign Robbie. 2) We are just not in a position to give up a 3rd round pick (+) to move up in the first round. We need a minimum of three new starters on the OL, 1-2 WRs, at least one corner, and an edge rusher. We need more picks, not fewer picks. 3) I think Jeudy will very likely be worth taking at 11. I'd be very surprised if he wasn't at least a good NFL WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolloffjet Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Don’t trade up in first round for nobody this year. There will be a stud at 11 when we pick be it a ot or wr or what ever. Take the stud do not trade up. if anything if there are a couple of blue chips on the board trade down a little. Now if you want to trade up in the second if you see a player that borderline stud falling towards the end of first or early second then by all means trade up then. We need draft picks but on the other had we need star talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gettleman is a loose cannon who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. There's no telling what he'll do, but hopefully he continues his streak of inexplicable first round picks. That 'generational' RB he took while passing on Sam has really made a huge difference in their W-L record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
