Passed on Jeudy and Lamb for a project OT at 11. This team will always suck There will be WRs taken in the 2nd round that will have equal to or better careers than the 1st round WRs. Calm down Bro, numero uno was PROTECTING Darnold. Offensive skill players coming tomorrow. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetscode1 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 3 minutes ago, THE BARON said: Well... They took the guy that I thought they should stay away from. Yes, big upside, but also very risky. Now that they went ahead and did it, I am enjoying the pick. For an offensive lineman, this is an uncharacteristically sexy pick. If he can be coached to improve his technique to a pro level, he is going to be an insanely good player. With this pick, Joe Douglas put his ass on the line... I like this pick because it wasn't safe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 6 minutes ago, HawkeyeJet said: Becton has a lot of work to do, but also has a lot to work with. People can wring their hands over their own personal grades of him(or Wirfs) but in reality, he's probably the best OL on the team immediately. I think people see/read he's not a finished project and assume that means he's ALL projection. I don't think that's the case. He could be very good without tons of additional refining. He could be elite with a decent amount of refining. Interesting insight to Joe's draft strategy - the safe pick was Thomas, the highest Ceiling is Becton might have assumed others (Wirfs) would be off the board but stuck to his pick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycdan Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Not that it means all that much, but Becton had the second highest grade of the OTs on nfl.com. So maybe...just maybe...some of the armchair GMs here who are so sure he's a bust might consider that they just *might* be wrong and maybe watch him (and Wirfs) play football for a few weeks before we declare him a disaster? https://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker/prospects/T?college=allColleges&page=1&status=ALL&year=2020 Player Status Position Team Class Grade Jedrick Wills ALABAMA Rnd 1, Pick 10 T Cleveland Browns Junior 6.85 Mekhi Becton LOUISVILLE Rnd 1, Pick 11 T New York Jets Junior 6.70 Andrew Thomas GEORGIA Rnd 1, Pick 4 T New York Giants Junior 6.49 Tristan Wirfs IOWA Rnd 1, Pick 13 T Tampa Bay Buccaneers Junior 6.48 Josh Jones HOUSTON - T - r-Senior 6.35 Isaiah Wilson GEORGIA - T - r-Sophomore 6.34 Austin Jackson USC - T - Junior 6.34 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtbx Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I thought Wirfs was a safer pick but Becton has the higher upside. I'm just happy we got an OT rather than a WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't test positive during that time, the slate is swept clean. JD obviously did his homework, and was comfortable with the back story behind the flagged test. On an aside, can sports leagues just stop testing for weed? It's ridiculous. It's legal in many states. That should not be considered a red flag anymore. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect the hell out of Brett Kollman. This guy knows his stuff and his scouting tape on the draft. Link is below if you’re interested. Start at 38 min in for the becton bit (he mocked him to Cleveland). This is great. Thanks for posting. Disgruntled Jet fans need to chill and realize JD isn't going into this blind and might actually know what he's doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
