greenwichjetfan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Given all of your Baker posts last offseason and how that played out, I’d say we wait on this too before creating a victory lap thread about how great gettleman is for trading picks for a worthless player and then franchising him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckkieB Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Leo was a bum and getting him of the Jets was addition by subtraction and getting a decent pick for him was icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for all the people here who've been mocking Gettleman the last few months, saying he's senile and how we fleeced him. Look at the Giants draft this year. I don't know about you guys, but I'd love to switch our picks in this draft for his. Thomas, McKinney(since we apparently need another Safety) and Peart? We would've been ecstatic. We got a boom/bust guy in Bechton, the WR nobody wanted to pick, another 3rd round ER from U of Fla, and... ANOTHER Safety!!!! Oh yeah... we have a bunch of 4th round and back picks. What the hell does this pick have to do with Gettleman Are you projecting because Jones is just another QB you enjoy tweeting Jets fans over? We have a SS paying FS in Maye. He has issues playing FS. Struggles with coverage. He has issues staying on the field. And hes 27 going into his second contract The pick makes sense 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRy56 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Douglas has put on a clinic so far, Gettleman will be unemployed a year from now, and Leo will likely be playing for another team..... Jets win this one bigtime 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a FS who's so good in coverage an so quick he may slide to CB for us. Hes not a SS. And anywhere in the same neighborhood as what Jamal brings to the team as SS. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TokyoJetsFan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 What people are not understanding about this pick is that it was to benefit Jamal Adams not trade him. A player that can play single high free safety allows Adams to make even more plays at and behind the line of scrimmage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player that can play single high free safety allows Adams to make even more plays at and behind the line of scrimmage. That very well may be, however he's going to be the starting FS someday for the JETS I believe, and I'd be having a conversation with Adams to ask him does he want to be part of this team or not. If his salary demands remain unrealistic, then I just as well move Maye to SS, or draft one next year and look to unload Adams to whatever team wants to trade for him.

We were going to get back a WR or OL for him, I heard. Positional value and all that. 1) JD 100 % fleeced Gettleman in the trade. 2) FS/CB hybrid is a position of importance AND a need. We currently don't have any FS's on the roster. No one would ever argue Minkah Fitzpatrick or Tyrann Mathieu don't play premium positions or that they aren't worth the resources devoted to them. Davis comes from that mold. I didn't love the pick at the time and still would probably give it about a B.

Legend Killa7 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 If we had gotten a box of tootsie rolls for Leo, we would have fleeced Gettleman.

Gettleman has proven adept at picking middle round talent. I'll give him credit there. He's been awful with his bigger decisions. Taking a RB at # 2 overall rather than trading down. The Daniel Jones pick. Trading critical draft capital for a non-pass rushing DT when you''re a rebuilding team. Those were awful decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't make it a bad pick at all. And it certainly doesn't negate Douglas' dominance over Gettleman in the trade. Got any more strawman arguments for me today? This is fun.

Now he's in full whine mode, without offering any alternatives to who we SHOULD have taken in rounds 3-6. It's pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
