Popular Post JetBlue Posted September 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2020 For some positive news. Mekhi Becton's career is off to a good start. On the negative side, DT Javon Kinlaw is already looking better than Q. Williams... 5. T MEKHI BECTON, NEW YORK JETS Becton was the only Jets offensive lineman who wasn't a liability on Sunday. He was a people-mover in the run game and made several impressive blocks, which helped him to a 77.4 run-blocking grade for the game. However, it was Becton's pass protection that was perhaps the biggest surprise of the week. We were worried about how he would fare on NFL true pass sets after seeing very few of those reps at Louisville, but he ended up earning the third-highest grade on true pass sets on Sunday. All told, he allowed just two pressures from 41 pass-blocking snaps and ended the game with a 77.2 overall grade, the 11th-best grade of the week. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-rookie-rankings-highest-graded-rookies-through-week-1-2020 It's only one week but maybe actually got this pick right. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Half the experts had no clue about quinnen and why they ignored warning signs i have no idea why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixhead Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 No other rookie O lineman mentioned in the top 10. Looks like the Jets are gonna hit a home run with The Big Ticket. Wish Gase knew how to take advantage of it. My bad I guess some Miami 4th rounder guard made the list. Must be nice to have a 4th rounder even contribute.

pdxgreen Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 The GM is proving to know his sh*t. It's the coach using his players that sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say it but I am starting to get "bowling ball with butcher knives" vibes from this dude. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastineau Lives Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Not sure how this thread about our awesome new LT turned into a sh*t fest on another player entirely. There are literally an infinite amount of threads that can be started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletKnight89 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 PFF gave Alex Lewis an elite grade against Buffalo. GVR graded out well as well. Not sure why they are saying Becton was the only lineman who wasn't a liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNJet Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I like how a few days before the draft people were calling him the most likely to bust. Many here including myself wanted Thomas or Wirfs over Becton. He looks better than both so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad we didn't get Thomas, he was brutal on monday night, looked like a revolving door that Bud Dupree had his way with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone acknowledged the sky was the limit with Becton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was absolutely the biggest concern with Becton coming out of college. His weight was the second thing. But make no mistake, a lack of college film that showed how he performs in NFL-style passing protection was a concern amongst scouts and probably the only thing that allowed him to slip outside the Top 10. Had he showed the kind of awareness, mirroring, etc. that he showed on Sunday while pass blocking I think it's very likely he would have gone Top 5.

But even going 1 for 2 on GM and HC would be a huge improvement for the Jets. We can easily swap a coach at some point. Turning over an entire roster takes 2-3 years minimum. If Joe D is the right guy then that bodes very well for the next 5-10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played ok but definitely lacked the athleticism,strength and movement skills displayed by Becton on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
