FidelioJet Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 10 hours ago, Pointdexter said: Hell of a job by Joe Douglas in year 1. Known players: 1) Mekhi Becton - already an elite LT. Huge score here for Douglas. 2) Denzel Mims - looks to be at minimum a strong #2 type with potential for more. Another hit. 3) Ashytn Davis - Man he showed a lot tonight. Physical. Fast. Instinctive. He's the kind of player that will get better and better every year. I'm a fan. 4) Braden Mann - excellent punter that can change field position and kick off. That's 4 hits with future starters. Perine looks like a contributor at a minimum for years. Zuniga, Clark, Morgan and Hall are all question marks but if we get anything out of just a couple of them it's gravy. We haven't seen ROI like this on a draft in over a decade. Couple this with some excellent trades (jamal adams) and even the biggest skeptic has to be bullish on Joe Douglas right now. 1) We have no idea if Bechton can stay healthy. He's a big man whose body just might not be up to it 2) Mims has NOT been impressive at all. He looks to me to play the game very slowly. I know it's very early but I am concerned. What has he shown that has you saying he's at minimum a strong #2 type. Jeff Smith and Perriman are clearly outplaying him and neither of them are close to a #2. He has a lot of work to do. 3) Ashytn, in his first start he did seem to play well. Is he any good in coverage though? I don't know enough to know that yet. 4) Right now Braden Mann is ranked 24th in Net punting yards and 18th in Avg. total yards. That level of play is nothing to be excited about. Again, it's early but he has been very far from special. https://www.footballdb.com/statistics/nfl/player-stats/punting?sort=puntavg Other than Becton, who can't seem to stay healthy, there is much more to be concerned about than excited about with JD's first draft 1 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never even reached 200 yds. All of a sudden he found it? Darnold will have a nice game in 2 weeks Respectfully, the proof is in the film. Flacco excelled at all of those things last night and that’s why the offense clicked the way it did. Highly doubt it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Just to play devils advocate: Becton - injuries are concerning. It's great that he looks like beast when healthy but what good is a LT who is never healthy? DBrick missed 1 snap his entire career and that was because he was pulled for a trick play. In comparison, how many snaps has Becton missed his rookie season? I'm cautiously optimistic about his future. He looks potentially elite but health is a big part of playing LT. Mims - not sure how you could make any predictions based on 10 catches but I'm optimistic. Davis - instincts is probably the last word I'd use for him. He looks lost in coverage, literally gets turned around when left in centerfield. Fine when he plays downhill, I guess. He made one nice play on the night. Again, way to soon to say anything more than depth. Mann - who cares? I mean seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UntouchableCrew Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I'm frustrated with the Becton injuries but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Davis has looked fairly lost before last night, but he had a great game. Hopefully he's starting to adjust and the game is slowing down for him. Would be a good sign for the future if he continues to improve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, it is only his third game and I hope that's just a rookie issue. It very well may be. So I'm not holding it against him. But we also shouldn't be calling him "at a minimum a solid #2" as the OP noted. He has played nowhere near that level - . Not if we ever want to win. If our second best receiver is averaging 3 catches and 40 yards a game the Jets are in a lot of trouble. He may certainly turn into it, or even a legitimate #1 - just that right now we don't know what he'll be.
