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???? Jefferson is a beast! He’ll definitely be a first round pick. It’d be nice if Jets can trade up from their 2nd round pick to snag him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe lamb. But I’m not sold that Ruggs can’t be the next tyreke hill. I do think the jets would draft lamb over Jeudy. Where do you get that? Everything I have read about Douglas says he focuses on production over athleticism. Lamb and Jeudy are both fairly low on the athleticism scale.

Hes a great kid, a Long Island boy who is a big Jets fan. Nice to see he came home. JD has actually done a good job so far.

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 Hoping Fant comes into camp 15 pounds of muscle heavier w/o losing that athleticism. Having Lewis to his rt. will be helpful if they get time to gel in camp. Hoping TC isn’t shortened due to Covid-19.

Legend Killa7 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The pattern of signing OL who do not commit penalties continues. If nothing else, we should at least expect to have a disciplined OLine. I think you nailed it! This point can not be under-stated. How many drive killers did we have last year (and the year before)?? As bad as our line was, the one time they actually gave Sam maybe 2 seconds to make a play, it was called back for holding or some other stupid penalty. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Bold prediction: A large group of people that had never even heard of Fant or this guy prior to this week will now spend the entire summer yelling at us about how awesome they are and how Douglas is the man for getting them. Sir, I believe there was a large contingent of fans begging to sign Graham Glasgow, a name they hadn’t heard of prior to late January, then whined incessantly when he went elsewhere. Whether these signings work out or not, it’s been more of an attempt to fix the Offensive Line than we’d seen the prior 5 years. So I’d say that’s a positive. None of it matters if the draft doesn’t go well. But that was true regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This OL may have 5 guys who have never played together before on opening day. The OTA's, where the new guys get a feel for the team, are gone. The new contract seems to cut down again on practice in camp. Going to be very interesting how the NFL deals with opening day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if we're lucky I'll hear something about Clowney and Robby and that Yannick guy getting upset about negotiations with JD also. Then we'll be in even better shape' Seriously though, nice job by JD and Van Roten's agent working things out. I couldn't be happier things ended up like this. There's a reason these guys have their agents do the negotiating. I'm sure Van Roten is ecstatic he's back home playing for his favorite team. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'm thinking that we don't want to be trading picks for anyone....even Trent Williams. Why not just sign Jason Peters to a 1-2 year deal? That would give the Jets supreme flexibility in the Draft. If a Tier 1 zone-blocking OT isn't there at a #11 (like Wills or Wirfs) then go WR and come back in Round 2 with Josh Jones, Lucas Niang or Matthew Peart at OT maybe. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENBEAN Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 4 hours ago, Augustiniak said: If the jets trade for Trent, then the 11 pick becomes a wr and frankly i think it’s Ruggs. We’re going for speed. As much as I don't really want to go after Trent Williams, if they do that they could pivot from RA and use his money on Trent Williams which free's up the #11 pick to be a WR like you said. If we do that and take Ruggs I would be disappointed. Jeudy and lamb are almost certain to be true #1 WR's. Ruggs is still 6' but he's small 6' in stature at 190 lbs. I could be wrong but I wouldn't be able to pass Jeudy for Ruggs. The point is we have options I suppose. let's take a look at these two options. op 1: Robby, Andrew Thomas or other left Tackle #11, WR 2nd rd op 2: Trent Williams for a 3rd, Henry Ruggs and a T in the second. Price Tega Wonoghu or Ezra Cleveland maybe. option 1 seems more rock solid with less risk imo. Same tier of money spent for RA or TW for arguments sake with TW being a bit higher. Andrew Thomas being a pro ready stud T who is young and maybe laviska Shenault in the 2nd. And we retain the 3rd rd pick. Good batch of players there. option 2 has more boom or bust potential. Trent hasn't played a full season in 5 years, but getting a dominant left tackle for a 3rd is a steal. Plus he's old and disgruntled. Ruggs is the fastest man coming into the league this year, but that doesn't always translate to the nfl. Its a risk to pass Jeudy and lamb to choose him with such a high pick. Waiting until the 2nd for a T is very risky also with the pro ready talent level dropping off after Jones imo. If Trent gets hurt like he usually does, depending on one of the 2nd rd tackles is much more risky than the top 5 in this draft. But if you could grab a legit left tackle in the 2nd that would be amazing. So, I'm more comfortable with option 1 as it seems safer and we keep the 3rd rd pick. But if option 2 could work out it would be really great work to put that together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's long and athletic but isn't generating too much buzz. 4 hours ago, RichardTodd27 said: Becton is too big for this O-line. Don't see J.D. drafting him. Two good posts. I think what many fans are failing to see (and I was as well for a little while) is that all those rankings you see online at various websites and from "experts" like Kiper, etc. do not take into account that the Jets are looking for a specific skillset for their Linemen. The Jets aren't looking for huge, powerful man-blocking linemen who simply plow the guy in front of them. The Jets want nimble, athletic, quick OLinemen who function like heat-seeking missiles when the ball is snapped and head out into space to square up a linebacker, etc. To me...this means that guys like Becton might be a lot lower on the Jets list and guys like Wills, Josh Jones, Matthew Peart, etc. could be a lot higher. We've discussed this a bit in the Draft forum but what we really need is to rank zone-blocking OLinemen....and not just OLinemen. The Jets ranking of OT's will be different than a lot of other teams, and that's a good thing I think! 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be very interesting how the NFL deals with opening day The good news is that they're all veterans and they all seem to play the same type of style and system in terms of zone-blocking schemes. I think Van Roten, McGovern, Lewis can gel quickly.....certainly more easily than rookies would. Also...haven't seen anyone mention this before but Alex Lewis has some experience at RT from his time in Baltimore as I understand it. That's something to keep an eye on, especially with the addition of Josh Andrews. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
