These are the WR's he's taken early since 2002: Bethel Johnson (2003, 2.45) Chad Jackson (2006, 2.36) Brandon Tate (2009, 3.83) Taylor Price (2010, 3.90) Aaron Dobson (2013, 2.59) He hasn't had a successful early pick at WR since Deion Branch in 2002 (2nd round). Tate had a successful 10-year career as a returner but only had 71 catches in his career. Not exactly what you look for out of a 3rd round pick. Especially since he only stayed in New England for the first 2 years of his career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 16 hours ago, JetsLife said: 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.” The Jets' scouts were all over Jeudy and Ruggs all CFB season. https://thejetpress.com/2019/12/04/new-york-jets-really-intrigued-alabama-wrs-2020-nfl-draft/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Jets really do have a choice between Jeudy and Ruggs at 11 it would be a luxury situation. It's possible (probable?) both turn out to be excellent players. my personal preference is Ruggs because this is a Sportscenter/FanDuel/William Hill league and they want 75 yard scores to happen.

nycdan Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Just looking at the picture, even if we draft two WRs, we are still super thin with experienced vets. I wonder why they haven't seemed interested in bringing DT back. Seems to me he could still be productive and helpful on this unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas emphasized the need to be able to score on big plays. sorry the link in that quote is wrong... fixed it in the original here's an excerpt it's from a Cimini Podcast and Matt Miller mock from 4 months ago After Cimini basically predicts they won't pay Robby, he says this: Quote “There are a lot of good receivers in the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft and the New York Jets are really intrigued by those Alabama wide receivers led by Jerry Jeudy and all down the list. So I think they’ll rebuild their wide receiving core through the draft.” In Matt Miller’s latest three-round mock draft via Bleacher Report, three Crimson Tide receivers went in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. 3 JERRY JEUDY WR Alabama 6-foot-1, 192 pounds. 3rd overall pick to the Washington Redskins (Matt Miller mock draft). The consensus No. 1 wide receiver in the 2020 NFL Draft is Jerry Jeudy. Matt Miller referenced him as an “electric route runner with next level burst.” It’s been a while since the Jets have taken a receiver in round one, but it may be hard to resist snagging the best of the best, from the best of the best. 16 HENRY RUGGS III WR Alabama 6-foot, 190 pounds. 16th overall pick to the Oakland Raiders (Matt Miller mock draft). Losing Robby Anderson would be tough for the Jets because he brought speed to the offense. Replacing him with the fastest wide receiver in college football would be a smart path to take. Henry Ruggs III pro player comparison is Tyreek Hill (minus the off the field issues says Matt Miller) imagine that dynamic weapon paired with Sam Darnold?

I prefer Jeudy but wouldnt be upset with Ruggs one bit. That said, if they took Ruggs, I'd like them to target the coaches son in mids rounds and grab Van Jefferson. Sam needs a consistent chain mover and not sure if Ruggs is more of a big play guy. That would be a very nice combo for Sam to grow with over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But isnt that why they picked up Perriman? The jets need players that can do more than just being a deep threat. Jeudy can run complex routes, play inside and outside as well as be a deep threat. Sure not the deep threat that Ruggs or Lamb for example, but Jeudy's floor is higher than both players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 19 hours ago, Adoni Beast said: 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? I’m not sure we know Douglas is all about the OL - judging by the offseason moves I see little to think he values the position. Signing McGovern was a nice signing but the rest were all back-ups. As an example he let guys like Shell and Beachum walk - who have both been better than Fant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoTownsell1 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 7 hours ago, UntouchableCrew said: I actually agree with this, personally. I suspect in an all time deep WR draft Douglas is going OL or DL in round one. If we already had a WR1 and needed to simply bolster the position, then sure we can easily wait until RD 2 or even RD3 for a pretty good WR prospect, but there is a good chance that 8-10 of the top WRs are gone by the time we pick in RD2. Grabbing the 11th best WR in even a GREAT WR draft class is not exactly helping this offense get more explosive. I am pretty sure that if an elite LT and Elite WR are available at 11 we go LT. But if the LTs that fall to us are rated as late 1st prospects and Jeudy is sitting their and Douglas has a top 10 value on him he would pull the trigger on Jeudy.
