Why Do You Hate Mekhi Becton?

Whatever happened to RobR, that guy really loved him 

He presented himself as an expert on o line.  

 

Banged the table for Edoga and Becton. He wanders the desert now, twisted and evil...

• On one hand you have to tip your hat to Becton.  He did manage to prepare for and play his final season at Louisville, and prepare for the Combine, in a way that masked his issues.  It carried through into his rookie year, although even then he was injured.  Becton could not keep up the preparation.  But that does not mean that we should not hate him for fooling JD+.
• But you have to be frustrated for JD for making that type of investment in Becton.  Look at the Ravens.  They look an oversized Orlando Brown.  IN THE THIRD ROUND.  That is where they also picked Failele.  Becton's size should have dropped him on the board-you don't pass on Wirfs for Becton.   This was an example by JD of swinging for upside with a Top 15 pick that I don't think we see again.

end of the day the GVR rolling up on Becton was a fluke incident and it could have derailed a skinnier man's career as well

if we want to blame JD it's for signing GVR. the Becton pick was a swing for the fences (and Becton had a far rarer RAS than Brown or Falele) Orlando Brown Jr had an absolutely awful combine. 

keeping the Positive vibes going I'm not ready to Mea culpa on Becton because even though he's injured now he's still young and could have a good career in the league. It might not be with the jets but it's too soon to say he's 23 he's done. Guys get rolled up on and sometimes rehab takes a while.  

look at what Carl Lawson has comeback from. 2 ACLs and an Achilles no one here thinks he's done. David Bakthiari is still rehabbing a knee that he injured in the 2020 playoffs. Fant's career didn't even really get started until his late 20's.  If Becton wants to have a career, he can.

Hmm. I loved Wirfs and Andrew Thomas that year.

I could live with Wills’s low ceiling and Becton’s low floor. 

I hated Austin Jackson.

Good year for me.

If Dee Milner was drafted by the Jets in the past few years people would be crying about other fans calling him a bust....but it's 2022 everyone's a pVssy.

I thought Ezra Cleveland would have been better. He's an average OG at this point...
