RVAJet815 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I get the point, but looking at the board at the tome, it’s fairly likely the Jets just pick Cager anyway even if they have the pick. At least they get a look at QW. If he’s not a fit, just cut him loose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFerg726 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Wilson probably sucks, but maybe he will improve in a GW system that would appear to be a better fit for his skill set. I understand people wanting to take a WR in round 6, but the likelihood that there is a WR that was selected in the 6th round that was going to make an impact on the team is low. Most 6th round WRs end up getting cut in their first training camp. We trade a very low pick for a guy who will be on the roster, barring injury, and provide depth at a need position. This isn't the thing to be getting upset about... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKnight83 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I believe there are a few guys on this board that are significantly better then any of the Jet beat writers. I consider Mehta and Cimini comic acts 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have to sign a huge deal to be part of the equation. As long as he counts as a free agent lost, he could lead to a comp pick as long as the Jets lose more free agents than they sign next year. They have a lot of one year deals on the roster, and they could be playing that game this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElBarrioJets Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 25 minutes ago, AFJF said: Not really. When it's one of the most glaring needs on your roster and there are starting caliber players sitting there in almost every round, the expectation should be multiple WR's. Prominent analsyts and beat writers have all been asking the same question. May not matter in the end, but it reminds me of Maccagnan not taking any CB's a few years ago in a very deep class when the Jets had a huge need at the position. Eh...I don't get all the whining. The Jets got a steal with Mims in the 2nd round and had a really solid draft all around that checked a lot of boxes for long-term needs that have been ignored for far too long. By all accounts, they got one of the best receivers in the draft, so this is nothing like the Mac draft you mentioned. JD already has managed to build a stable of young guys like Berrios, Smith, and made WR a priority in the UDFA group. I appreciate him taking a swing at another corner who has the potential to be a starter as opposed to a redundancy. For the first time in years, I actually see the logic behind each pick so I can't split hairs over how JD used this very late 6th rounder. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammybighead Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Probably 5-6 prospects I'd personal take a shot at were available instead of that trade. Kenny wilekes, jauan Jennings, kj hill, eno Benjamin, dezmon Patten to name a few. I'm not crying over passing up any of these guys, however, wilekes does intrigue me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowles Movement Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 23 minutes ago, slats said: At the time of the pick, I was in the draft thread saying, "this is the time to grab the WR you like who you think you won't be able to sign as a UDFA and be done with it," so I get your sentiment. But that's also the talent level you're looking at with pick #211. The time to take another WR was in the third/fourth rounds where they had five picks. That late, I'm not gonna sweat it. If Wilson has a good year the Jets either resign him or he becomes a part of the comp pick equation. If he doesn't, it was pick #211. It's not like the CB position didn't need help, too. Maybe they think he has potential at safety? Maybe he’s good on special teams? Maybe they thought he had more athletic skills than anybody available on their board. Maybe they thought he was in the wrong defensive scheme at Indy? Maybe all of them? At this point Douglas has earned my trust to see how these moves work out. Getting upset over this trade shows how little we have to do with our lives. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a nutshell he said he was told the guy just isn’t a very good player and there are concerns about his work ethic/attitude. Time will tell, but a WR at 211 was the way to go IMO. 100% agree. There were a bunch of players that were enticing at that point: KJ Hill Juan Jennings Eno benjamin Carter Coughlin Kenny Willekes I would have been happier with any of these than Wilson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda' shows why some of us are questioning it. Why not use the pick on a guy who nobody has worked with in the NFL and wants to throw away as a result? If they took a WR thereit probably would have been Cager who they got as an UDFA.

Hope they struck gold, but the 1 WR thing was a head scratcher to me. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here. He has done pretty well so far with the couple of late round pick for scrap heap player trades he's made so far. Agree with the overall context though....needed to walk away with a second WR. This was too deep of a class and our depth chart too devoid of talent not to take another shot somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
