Left tackle

[jetsfansince7]

Trading down is the best option.
Team is devoid of talent so we need as many picks as possible.  Still a number of good tackles in the second half of the 1st.  
Happy to take one of them and add a pick or two in the top 100.

I don’t think there are many good tackles outside of rd 1 that can step in and play the LT role.

I think they can trade back and take someone like Jefferson and still get a good tackle prospect in the 2nd.  That would probably net an extra 3rd round pick, so they’d have 3 3rd rounders to address wr/edge/cb/OL.

Im not sure why you would do all of this work on the offensive line only to leave a glaring hole at LT or RT going into the draft.  It puts the Jets in a terrible spot, especially if the top 4 guys are off the board by 11.  If that happens they would probably wait to take a tackle in the 2nd or possibly 3rd. That's a huge risk after putting in all of this other work on the line.  I think they're going to make a move for Trent Williams once the compensation drops to a 3rd. Once Peters signs with Washington a trade involving Williams wiill happen shortly after.  Not sure if it'll be the Jets but I think they'll try.

With the OT talent in the draft this year, and our crappy T situation, we'd be foolish to pass one up.

Just resign Beachum already 

 

it’s looking like one of the top 4 isn’t falling to 11

 

Agree with the concept of signing a Beachum or Peters on a ST deal vs. giving up a draft pick for Williams.  An extra FA OT also gives JD the option to go WR or even trade back from #11 if a QB is sitting there

We can get Peters on a one year $17 million deal and then draft a OT next year

misread initial question....answered the poll assuming top 4 OT were off the board.   chose the trade down option, however if there is an OT we like at 11 by all means we should take him.

I’m starting to doubt that but who knows

[rangerous]

imo the jets will have a shot at one of the top 4 tackles at pick 11.  since 2010 there have been a total of 17 olinemen taken in the top 10 and 2 of those were guards.  the most oline players were taken in 2013 (5 , three tackles and  two guards).  the least number is in 2017 and 2019 (0).  there was 1 olineman in 2018 and 2011 and 2 each in 2016, 2014, 2012, and 2010.

I dont think my preference has changed since the start of the offseason; 

1st RD - BAP LT

2nd RD - BAP WR

3rd RD  - BAP OL or WR

3rd RD -  BAP OL or WR or RB - depending on the position before

4th RD - BAP OL or WR or RB - depending on the position before.

That said, if all the LT's are gone, WR at #11 please and flop the 1st and 2nd round positions.

Pretty much what I was thinking.  I wish there was another choice.  I agree with the 1st but if the top 4 LTs are off the board I'd probably go WR in the 1st, OL in the 2nd.

The Williams and BPA sounds good, I would only trade if the comp was less than a 3rd.  That would really open the door to taking the BPA

Assuming they’d somehow have the money.... I would honestly probably (if I could) trade a 3rd for Williams & draft the best OT at 11 and probably draft the best interior OG/C on the board w the second round pick. 

[Obrien2Toon]

Shocked there are 14 people that want Fant to be our starting LT

obviously haven’t seen him play before

I edited my posts to reflect; if all the LT's are gone and we're on the same page there.

JD's managing of the OT position doesn't pass the smell test.  It is completely opposite of how he's handled everything else up to this point.

The amount of $ he paid Fant, a mostly unproven OT. 

Our other best OT player of Edoga not having shown enough to cement himself at either LT or RT.

There HAS to be a plan A in place to get a seasoned vet on the roster before the draft.  There has to be a plan B in place as well.  I'd think even a plan C.

---

He has not given any indication of paying trading draft capital for a "hold the fort" older player.  He got burned trying to bring the retired guy, who hadn't played in awhile, in middle of last season.  For these 2 reasons I do not believe the move for Trent Williams is on the table.

Therefore I'd say (plan A) he's waiting on Jason Peters to accept the "smaller than desired" contract on the table, if that does not happen (plan B/C) he has in place the outline for a deal with Beachum that he will move quickly on if needed. (just like the Robbie Anderson WR situation). or (Plan B/C) he has another 'semi-ok" veteran deal in place that he moves forward with. (Germain Ifedi,  Bashaud Breeland,  Daryl Williams, etc.)

His hope is for the draft to pan out in his favor and he gets 1 or more draft picks to compete against Peters/Fant/Edogo in camp.  If said draft pick does not gain the spot then move forward with them in reserve to start the season, possible mid-season move into the starting role (due to a variety of possibilities), and/or make an evaluation on whether they should move into a starters position for next season.

---

The seemingly importance of his OT choice in the draft  would lead me to believe:

He believes has several of the draft prospects who are, in his book, likely to succeed as his LT (or possibly just RT).  as long as at least 2 of those are on the board he will stay in place at 11.

He already has plans in place to trade up (even if it means overpaying draft capital) enough to ensure he gets 1 of his choices.

He will not trade down in Round 1

If JD’s top four OTs are off the board at #11, then he has to seriously work the phones to trade down. Land an extra second or third+ and move on.

Something I noticed earlier today is the fact that Jason Peters had 10 penalties last season, 7 in the last 6 weeks of the regular season.  That definitely does not fit the profile of what they have been targeting so far.  Makes me think he may not be an option for the Jets.

[Dcat]

My dream scenario is a trade down and draft both Higgins and josh Jones.

[bd71]

I don't want to trade down.  Granted  this team has many holes to fill but if one of the top 4 OT's are gone.  Just stay put and get Darnold a WR.  We need weapons.

I agree.  And hopefully he can find a willing partner looking to come up to 11.

I was blabbering within the OPs parameters of picking at 11

You should also have trade up to 7 to get best OT on Jets board. I think it is a realistic possibilty

I voted to trade for Trent Williams as long as its for a 3rd, then take Jeudy at 11.

You'd also need to tell me what the years & $s are of the contract we'd have to give him before I would consider that option.

[CTJetsFan]

The thing about the "top WRs" (ie. Lamb, Jeudy, Ruggs) is that I don't think there is that much of a gap between them and the next "tier" of WRs (Jefferson, Mims, Higgins) while there may be a little more of a gap between the top 4 OTs and the next tier of OTs.

In that case, if the top 4 OTs are gone before 11 and we can trade back and get another pick, it might actually make sense. Depends on the grades Joe D and staff have on the WR group (and the OTs for that matter).

[vic]

I agree, wouldn’t spend a fortune Clooney or draft pick (s) on T. Williams- one thought- how about trading Jamal for Ngakoue? Jamal is a great player but we need a pass rusher more than a safety- think about it- our D could be awesome!

Lol when's the last time 4 offensive lineman went in the first 10 picks? Much less that many teams prioritizing the same position of OT. I remember in 2018 everyone swore Darnold would be gone before 3, was false, and that all QBs would be gone by pick 8,which was False, I think Rosen fell to 10 or 11.
