JetsLife Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Or at least I'll be surprised if he does. Why? - Douglas seems to have a good amount of old school about him. And old-school types like a Parcells, Belichick - did they ever go WR round 1? I remember their 1st-round picks more along the lines of d-line, o-line, defense in general. - His background: a former college offensive linemen, reared in the Baltimore and Philly personnel departments, teams that generally featured stout o-lines when he was there. - He's mentioned multiple times the importance of protecting Sam up front, giving his talented young QB the best chance to succeed. Such as here: “Obviously we need to have a strong offensive line. We have to do a good job of taking care of Sam moving forward,” Douglas said (https://nypost.com/2020/02/25/joe-douglas-background-shows-what-jets-makeover-could-be/). - And here, also from the NY Post: Douglas must — and will — fix the broken offensive line, which needs at least three new starters in 2020. “The line of scrimmage is always going to be a priority here,’’ said Douglas, a former college offensive lineman (https://nypost.com/2020/01/01/joe-douglas-first-big-chance-to-rebuild-jets-is-finally-here/). So I doubt JD goes WR round 1. Another reason why, more ancillary: his biggest offseason WR acquisition Breshad Perriman - a complete 1st-round bust in Baltimore. Although Douglas wasn't there when Baltimore drafted him, that's exhibit 1 on his roster of a first-round WR bust. However, If JD does take a WR in round 1, I won't be surprised if it's Ruggs. From the Post: The Jets offense, which ranked dead last in the NFL last season, needs more than just linemen. The unit needs some explosive playmakers, especially if it loses Robby Anderson in free agency. “I think you saw that in the two teams that competed for the Super Bowl this year,” Douglas said. “How many explosive players they had on both sides of the ball. Everyone is trying to get bigger, faster, smarter, tougher. We need explosive guys. We need explosive, dynamic playmakers.” 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeardedSavage Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I think my board for the 11 overall is, in order: Wills, Thomas, Lamb, *Trade down opportunity*, Jeudy I agree the lineman are the priority, but it is conceivable both of the ones I’d want could be gone by 11. We just have to see how things fall at this point. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets723 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 It all depends on how the top 10 shakes out. Although I think he would love to take one of the top 3 OL I don’t think he will reach for one especially if The top WR are available. Also depends if he trades down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomebodytoAnybody47 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 You say he’s not taking a WR then insert a quote of Douglas saying “We NEED explosive, dynamic playmakers”. Sooooo. Not so sure it’s off the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoni Beast Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I doubt we take a receiver. We know that Douglas is all about the OL (which is a good thing). The game us won in the trenches. Even more convincing, Baltimore’s GM just said today that he sees starting-caliber receivers being found in the first 5 rounds. Same school of thought...came up together in Baltimore. If its OL vs WR, it’ll be OL. The question is who is going to still be on the board when we zoom meeting into the draft? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darnold Schwarzenegger Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Do the Jets need help on the o line. Definitely. But id say it's improved from last year with van rotten and McGovern in the mix. Fant is a question mark but I'll trust JD on that 1 for now. But the Jets easily have the worst wr corps in the NFL. So don't be surprised if lamb or Jeudy is the pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deucebag Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Just my useless opinion, I dont feel like any of the WRs are worthy of the 11 overall pick, It looks to me that there are about 10 WRs are are extremely close in regards to overall talent and what you get in round one, will pretty much be there in round 2. What do I want? I want JD to trade down, I want 5 picks in the first 3 rounds, 1 OT, 2 WR, 1 EDGE, 1 CB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing you can't plan for is injuries and that is what primarily derailed his career the first few years. It is not like Perriman was a reach where he was taken.
