BettyBoop Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 The free agency dust has settled and we're gearing up for the virtual draft. Additional moves will likely be made and they will have a significant impact on our draft. I simply do not understand why Douglas has not signed Peters to a "Fant-like" deal. He is the perfect bridge guy who would provide a quality LT starter, or a quality RT starter if you draft a LT at #11 and will provide far more flexibility @ #11 and subsequently the rest of the draft. I just don't get it. Unless of course, Douglas needs that last clump of cash for a big-time signing. The only guy out there that fits that description is Clowney. Is Douglas really interested in a guy who seemingly does not fit the template he is looking for? Could he be swinging for the fences hoping to turn this defense into the '86 Bears?! Verrrrrry interesting! Both scenarios will have a profound impact on the draft. Here's my guess for both: Signing Peters Signing Clowney First Round: Jerry Jeudy, WR Josh Jones, OT Second Round: Matt Peart, OT Tee Higgins, WR Third Round: Bradlee Anae, Edge Ben Bartch, OL Third Round: Troy Pride, CB Michael Pittman, WR Fourth Round: Collin Johnson, WR Darnay Holmes, CB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRy56 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I like the Peters draft better. If we swap Troy Pride for Pittman in the 3rd, that would be a great draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hoping we sign Peters. Baffled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenReaper Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 1 hour ago, k-met57 said: josh jones at 11? woof A tradedown from #11 then taking Jones makes more sense. And the draft if Peters is signed is more to my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting the Higgins-Pittman pair at WR would be home run in a draft where you also got a solid OT prospect and addressed CB by the end of Round 4.

Pedestrian 2ndery but wr is deep in draft- Henderson is a very very good cb. You will not find a cb like Henderson in the second round But you will be able to get a very very good wide receiver in the second round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Although I would still love to see one of the top 4 at OL instead of Jones.. But I like the Clowney draft a lot better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like the Clowney draft a lot better. Me too. Walking away with Josh Jones, Tee Higgins and Michael Pittman along with picking up a defensive end in which the biggest negative on him is the outside hype that surrounded him, not his actual contribution to his teams as an actual player. Not to mention that this is also a guy who turns it up while in the playoffs in terms of being just a total disrupter of the offense. That's a win in my book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Josh Jones is a bit of a reach at #11 but I have a suspicion that Douglas likes him perhaps more than one or two of the Big-Four. From what I've read he seems like an outstanding project who has suffered from having five different line coaches in four years. He needs a good technician as OL coach to fix his problems but they are fixable. Just not sure if Frank Pollack is the guy to do it. Also, with Clowney on board the hope is his impact will allow the Jets to make due with a fourth round CB to step in and contribute. On the other hand, I really like the idea of having Peters start at LT and groom Peart who I think can be a solid starter in 2021. It's a more balanced (between offense and defense) approach that I think it would help the team overall. Lastly, for those who are saying "I know for a fact that so-and-so won't be there in the third round!", please for everyone's sake, please tell us who is going to be drafted and when since you know how the draft will play out. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clowney is way underrated around here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
