We paid $10mm a year to a back up tackle. Look, I really like what Douglas is doing, in that Oline is clearly a priority and he understands it’s not an afterthought as our previous GM did.. But I also dont’ want to over congratulate the guy for losing out on the top prospects on the market. You are a broken record. 10M of Woody's $ is chump change You have no idea what JDs plan is. Seems to me he's off to a very good start. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Pauline, the "experts" haven't done real well in predicting what Douglas was going to do in FA Peart. He's long and athletic but isn't generating too much buzz. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVAJet815 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Why release winters ? We arent in a position to release any olineman We can when it’s 7+ mil of salary cap relief. JD would do well to draft another body or two after he drafts 1 at 11. I love the peters idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenFish Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Joe Douglas just going to work. We just need a tackle now. This has been an ok offseason so far. Need a few more pieces. Robby or Perriman and Dorsett please. Still want us to trade for Ngagoue. We have a GM ladies and gentlemen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fant signed, I believe, because he was guaranteed the starting LT position going into camp. Bringing Peters in would send a bad message. I think he brings in RT to compete with Edoga and drafts LT in rd. 1 Is Shell still on the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no guarantee that they are able to get a guard they like in the draft . Unless we need the cap space, no need to cut him now. We can cut him in the spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that Fant was signed to have a chance to be a starter. Don't think he has done enough to be guaranteed a spot. He will get a chance to compete; if he is good enough, he starts. Which is more of an opportunity than he had in Seattle being stuck behind Duane Brown. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowles Movement Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 1 hour ago, flgreen said: I understand why everyone is concerned with Fant at LT, but for now I'm going to trust Douglas. IMO his plan is, and has been, for Fant to be the stating LT on opening day. Even if the Jets draft a LT at 11, I have a feeling he'll be competing for RT at the beginning of the season. Spot on. Fant has the athleticism to play LT The guy they get at 11 will compete with and hopefully beat out Edoga for RT. Edoga started strong last year but seemed slower later in the year. Maybe a years experience and strengthening will do him good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft a OT and we might just be average. That seemed unrealistic not too long ago.

Looks like they wanted him back but not starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an average to above average OL if we can get 2 top OL prospects in the draft …. LT and a Center. McGovern can play guard which is his better position. We'd then have some excellent depth as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could get Claypool possibly with our 1st 3rd round pick. Or Pittman. Jefferson still might be available to us in the second Rd. Claypool has the chance to be just as impactful as any of the top receivers talked about. His interviews will be key. He's still a work in progress as a route runner. The wild card in all this is Robby. can we sign him back???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
