1989 draft on ESPN 2...looking good here Jets

 

As somebody born after 89 (95) let’s test my jets knowledge. Is that Lageman? And kiper says “it’s obvious to me the Jets don’t know what the draft is all about? “ 

 

hopefully I’m not too far off

There are certainly some Jets fans that agree with you.

I'm all for taking an offensive lineman in round 1. However, it's not one or the other, we 8 picks to address our needs. We went heavy on the offensive line in free agency and even if we pick a WR in round 1 we can still address the offensive line in the draft. WR is a big need also.

True, but it is traditionally HIGHLY difficult to find a quality OT outside of the 1st round.

That is not the case for WR.  Especially with a stacked class like this.

How does Florida’s Jabari Zuniga fit in at the next level?

Florida’s Jabari Zuniga will be a second-day selection Friday, but where does he fall on the second day and what position does he play in the NFL? Most teams grade Zuniga as a third-round edge rusher, while I presently have him listed as a second-round defensive end.

While most feel Zuniga will ultimately end up as a 4-3 defensive end, there are several 3-4 defensive teams who like his ability to rush the edge. Teams most interested in Zuniga include the Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins, and New York Jets, who own two selections at the top of Round 3.

A 3rd round edge-rusher from Florida...what could possibly go wrong?

The #Falcons continue to be the team to watch when it comes to moving up in the NFL Draft. They have talked to teams well into the Top 10 and appear ready to make a huge leap from No. 16 via trade. CB remains a position of need:
#OSU’s Jeff Okudah and #Florida’s CJ Henderson.

It’s amazing how little time he has had so far to throw the ball.  Like I said doesn’t matter how talented you are if you have no protection your life is gonna be much much harder as a QB.  That said I never like to say we HAVE to draft a OL in Round 1.  It depends on how the first 10 picks go.  It might be a situation where the 4 big ones are gone and we have our pick of the litter at WR.  We could always go OL in Round 2 AND 3 if we wanted to.  So it depends

I just looked it up Vick was 87, Lageman was 89. But the kiper quote I threw in might’ve been for Vick not 100% sure.

1989 was Lageman. Kiper went nuts because he thought the Jets should have taken Hart Lee Dykes, a WR fro Okla.St., who went two picks later. Dykes, by the way, had a short career, think 2 years, and never made an impact, mostly due to injuries. Lageman, while definitely way over drafted, had a decent career.

He literally was under pressure as soon as he took the snap lmao... they definitely need to go OT at 11. Then I’d make a case that offensive line is actually good/above average.

#Jets draft factoid of the day: They have drafted 15 CBs since 2000, and only two have started more than 20 games — Darrelle Revis + Kyle Wilson. Remains a need. 2nd/3rd round options: Kristian Fulton, Noah Igbinoghene, Damon Arnette, Amik Robertson, Cam Dantzler, Bryce Hall.

Yes!  This is why Robbie Anderson who is a good receivers production was down. Not because Darnold can't get him the ball, its because Darnold was on his back.  If you draft any of the receivers first, they will have the same result.  Draft O Line.  One possibilty is if all tackles are off the board by the 11th pick, then you take the best WR and trade your 2nd to Washington for Trent.

[varjet]

 I was thinking to myself that this was another Brick Ferguson draft.  The Jets, picking 4th, literally did not have a LT on the roster.  They picked Brick, and he was pretty skinny comeing out of school.  He started right away, played ok year 1, and was a solid if unspectacular starter for the rest of his career.

Woody nicknamed his son "Brick," for whatever that is worth.

But Brick was the best pick there.  After Brick was AJ Hawk, Vernon Davis, Michael Huff, Donte Whitmer (safeties!), Ernie Sims, Matt Leinart, Jay Cutler and (at 12) Haloti Ngata.  Ngata ended up better than any of the DL the Jets picked, often higher than 12.  

I like JD and hope he does well this weekend.  He does appear to have placed himself in a tough spot, as he could end taking a T with a lower grade than another player, based on his grading system.   That is the power of a Trent Williams trade.  

From what I have seen and heard from JD, I don't see him reaching for T 4 or 5 if there is a higher rated impact player on his board, like WR, CB or even LB.  Maybe rather than BPA in round 1 and 2 and maybe 3, GMs should draft PTB-player that makes your team the best it can be that year.  These guys should all want to keep their jobs-so draft the players in the first three rounds who are least likely to get you fired.   If the Jets have a decent OL next year, regardless of who they pass up, they will likely be ok.  That requires picking up tackles in rounds 1 and/or 2.  

The over/under for Jets wins is 6.5.  If those are all hard fought and the team plays respectably, maybe Gase survives that.  I don't see Gase managing that adversity well.  The Jets win 6 in 2020 and he loses the lockerroom, Gase gets fired.

Maybe that is why Adams gets traded.  But if Adams does get traded, a top pick ends up being used for another jackknife safety.

i don't think douglas will reach if he thinks the tackle available to him isn't what he wants.  there will be other OL in later rounds who can be functional players, good starters for many years.  i do think the probability that the jets take a wr at 11 is legit, in the 30%-40% range.

Heck even Brady stunk when he didn’t have time to throw. That’s why we saw a lot of dink and dunk from him the last couple years. He got the ball out in less than 3 seconds most of the time.

Yeah, he’s been dinking and dunking since Moss left, and as you said these last few years definitely were very noticable.

Nagakoue and Allen vs. Edoga and Shell.  What could go wrong?  I look at that and think "what could have been."

I thought he wanted the Jets to take Andre "Bad Moon" Rison, who had 700 career receptions and 10,000 yards.

Except these WRs can run more than a Go route which takes longer to develop. Darnold got the ball to Crowder just fine

That reeks of Gurley/Michel 2.0.  If this is true, that is really bad.
