Do you enjoy seeing Sam on his back ? At 16 I thought Ruggs was the right value pick. A trade back into the tail end of R1 or beginning of R2 would have probably been ideal. Here's the o-linemen that went between 16 & 48. 26: Autin Jackson - OT - USC 33: Cesar Ruiz - C - Michigan 34: Ezra Cleveland - OT - Boise State 38: Isaiah Wilson - OT - Georgia 42: Josh Jones - OT - Houston 46: Lucas Niang - OT - TCU At 48 - again - I thought Pittman was the right value pick.

Thai Jet Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 3 hours ago, UnknownJetFan said: I assume this would happen on draft day if it does. So if DL Brown is sitting there at #11 then we could likely get some good draft picks back and probably still get OT Jones. That would be good. Or, since they want a DL that bad would they take QW for their #16 and their 2nd rounder this year, then we keep our #11?. Since our DL has done well I would make that trade right now. Heck, we could then get one of the best WR Prospects and an LT in round 1 and have 2nd and 3rd rounders that would allow us to take another OT/WR/CB/Edge. There were trade offers for QW this past year but we didn't want to do it since he was a 3rd overall pick. Nice as it sounds, it ain't happening. We'd be lucky to get their 2nd for QW. That's just reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Greensleeves Posted April 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2020 This board is getting a bit too crazy about offensive lineman. We can't have 20 Olineman. A team has a cap and needs to fill out the roster. We don't need more than one high pick on OL this year. We already have developmental guys. Also, we'll be absolutely fine if we grab one in the second round. I trust JD knows how to evaluate tackles and that his evaluation isn't the same as the draft guys. We shouldn't wait for WR or OL - they should be the top two picks, but the order can vary. The only way I can see grabbing more than one OL in the draft is if there is a center they like. All of this Quinnen bashing is off base. The guy is really young and can develop into a dominant presence. He showed flashes last year. Talk about not giving a guy a chance - he could end up being the most impactful player on our D in a year or two. He's so young and has a lot of potential. He can blow up plays all on his own. Can we please give the kid a chance. Greg Williams will develop him and we'll be happy to have kept him. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dupe Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 2 hours ago, GREENBEAN said: We see trade ups all the time in the first rd. In order for someone to trade up, someone has to trade down. As far as the Jets trading down in there 1st, I believe it was 97 with Parcells blowing our number one overall pick. There value he got back for that pick is laughable. Then he went to UVA to grab a LB in Farrior. I think we basically got Dedric Ward out of it. Lame! We passed on Orlando Pace AND Walter Jones to make that trade. Add to it Boulware, Shawn Springs and Tony Gonzales. lol Now that I read this I think its why I despise trading down so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad part is I'm 34. I know Tanny didn't know how to trade down, Idizik used his 50 picks to fuel the largest dumpster fire in history and Mac patted himself on the back when Mel Kipers top defensive player fell to him every year. We lucked into Darnold with a pre draft trade. I don't remember all Bradway's BS off the top of my head doug jolley is all you need to know.

rangerous Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 i suspect that there are a lot of teams talking about moving and down at this stage. i suspect if the jets do agree to trade down with the falcons then maybe it's conditional and based on who has been chosen in the previous 10 picks.

We actually lose an additional $9m in cap space this year if we trade Quinnen. Not to mention we probably lose value from the gun situation. I would still make this move if possible though. #11 - 1,250 points #16 - 1,000 points - they'd have to throw in a 3rd and 4th to balance it out or perhaps we can throw in a pick that pushes the value higher and receive a 2nd round pick instead.

No. I can hope for the best, but the reality is we've signed multiple tackles and guards and I still feel like we have holes at tackle and guard. I feel like our WR room has downgraded. Im not killing optimism, im just saying that my optimism shouldnt be what I use as the differentiating factor to past GM's. I remember seeing that with Macc when Idzik was fired. Today we put them both in the same category. I think it should be cool for folks to also hold a man to his job title in order for him to show and prove. JD simply "showing up for work" is better than Macc right now, which shows you how low of a bar that is. We can have optimism and still be real about things.

If these means we miss on one of the top wrs no thanks Well, right now we have neither quality nor quantity. If this was the NBA and one player accounted for 20% of the team on the court/field, I'd agree. But not in this case. Dropping from #11 into the late teens (Falcons, Cowboys, etc.) should net a 2nd round pick (maybe an early 3rd). Getting two very good prospects is better than getting a single great one in my opinion. The time to focus on quality is when (if) this team is ever just a player or two away from championship contention. It's the same thing in FA as the Draft....accumulating a larger collection of good players is better right now than getting one or two great ones. We're not the Chiefs who recognized they needed a guy or two like Tyrann Mathieu and Frank Clark to get over the hump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanogho and Peart are a great double-dip of Zone-Blocking OTs. Ruggs and Pittman almost immediately solve the WR problem, and when thrown into the mix with Perriman, Doctson, Crowder, etc. make for a really, really interesting training camp. Willekes and McFarland are two of my favorite middle-round players in the entire Draft. Using the last pick on a K to compete with Maher is a prudent move. You'll take heat for not getting one of the "premiere" OTs but this would be a very, very solid Draft IMO. AT LEAST one of Wanogho/Peart would be starting by the middle of this season and I think Wanogho becomes the starting LT by 2021. And let's not forget, you can absolutely find starting OTs at #68 and #79. Jason Fabini, starting LT for about 8 years in the early 2000's with the NYJ was taken #111 overall (4th round, 1998) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we please give the kid a chance. Greg Williams will develop him and we'll be happy to have kept him. Not sure I agree 100%. I agree about QW. Especially with the idea of trading Quinnen considering the cap hit. However, I will say that despite all the O-line depth we signed, the Jets only have 2 OTs currently on the roster. Edoga and Fant. Neither guy gives me much confidence going forward. So, going into the draft they DO need to draft an OT early. And yeah, you're right, maybe JD targets one in Rd. 2, not Rd. 1. But you know what, we aren't exactly selecting early in Rd. 2., we're selecting 16th. I don't care what kind of scout you are, the top talent will go early, other talent evaluators aren't stupid. So JD can't wait too long. If anything, I could see us drafting 2 OTs. One early Rd 1 or 2, one later on Rd. 4-5. I just think we have so many OG/C's on the roster right now, even if only on short term deals, that there's no room for another C. McGovern, VanRotten, Harrison, Andrews- these guys have played OG and C. McGovern is currently penciled in at C. Lewis and Winters are the OGs. But I think Van Rotten takes Winters job and Winters gets cut. I think we draft a top tier OT, plug Fant at LT and Edoga at RT and let the rookie compete at one or the other position.

Any one of those players instantly helps the Jets and getting an additional pick on Day 2 would be invaluable to a team with a ton of needs. This whole trade idea with Atlanta only happens if A.) We get to #11 and the Jets are comfortable leaving what's still on the Board and moving back AND B.) Atlanta sees a player available that really motivates them to trade up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
