Jamax99 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 100 agree was thinking the same thing. I for one would love to trade back 3 spots and take Penei, I was hoping Cincy.. won. Because they want Penei .. and then trade back up for Zach Wilson. Think he's better then Fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers are taking a QB so you don't want to trade back any further than that. You could or should do that if you want a QB. Cincy isn’t picking a QB, you gain a pick(s) and get whichever QB you want not named Lawrence at 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 4 hours ago, bitonti said: The Jets can draft Sewell and keep Becton until both retire let's start with that. They have more than enough free cap space to make that happen But let's pretend that they don't. If they trade Becton in year 5 for another first Rd pick (or more) that's also a jd friendly outcome The worst outcome, which you seem to endorse, is take a bust qb or pass rusher at 2 because it's a need? The bird in the hand, bro. All this talk about what they do in 26 assumes this player has value. Other than TL, Sewell is that most valuable resource. There's no trade down, there's no other moves to make. You take either TL or Sewell to do otherwise is an obvious reach / likely bust Also you can't find the quote about Warmack cause it doesn't exist. Google and archive. Org you won't find it They have more than enough cap space now. The idea is to draft well beyond just Becton and Sewell, and if they don't then it doesn't matter who the tackles are anyway. There is no historical occurrence of a team using ~25% of its cap space on its two starting tackles. And if those two will command elite LT money then that's what it'll come to. If they don't, then the exercise was stupid in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list is too long to print here. This is relevant how? Are the same people from 2010-2019 running the draft in 2021? If not then what Douglas does, and his ability to evaluate prospects, has zero relevance to the ability of GMs before him. If JD can't draft any better than Maccagnan or Idzik or late Tannenbaum, then none of this matters anyway. But one doesn't employ a dumb strategy today because prior GMs couldn't draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a player who is part of a wider, talented group and is used differently than before. Playing with a QB who now looks like a shell of what he was. Its debatable who is the better FA acquisition, its not debatable that he would upgrade the WR group here The whole BS over his dance is amusing though. Because now that was why the Bengals won? How come no team that is "motivated" by a player ever talks about it the times they lost. At 10-1 no one cared, now after a few losses they chirp.

If the top couple LT contracts are $22-23MM from 2020, and the cap ceiling was $198MM, it's nearly 25% of the team's cap regardless. Just to use easy math, if the cap went up to $250MM by the time they're in line for second contracts, then they wouldn't still be at $22-23MM they'd each be in the $27MM/year range (but still in the range of 22% of overall cap). Nobody does that. Nobody successful, anyway. If you can name a single team that has ever used nearly 1/4 of its cap ceiling on a pair of tackles I'd love to hear about it. It'd still be an extreme exception rather than the rule, but I'm not sure such an exception even exists. Also I'm quite sure I understand the salary cap economics more than one who thinks a box safety is worth the $18MM/year or more that he wanted, plus forgoing a pair of 1st rounders for the privilege, on a team with a double-digit number of holes and upgrades needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of these guys coming out after TL will be thrown to the Wolves by Joe Douglas. You make it seem Like we don’t have 8 more picks & close to 100 million dollars to spend. The only way pick #2 is a QB is if Justin Fields balls out on Jan. 1st. With the cap being substantially a lot lower this off-season draft picks are at a premium which means no one is giving up the farm to move into #2 when every QB after TL are crapshoots.

I'd have to look up the exact numbers but the Dallas Cowboys of 2016 had Tyron Smith at LT on a mega deal they drafted Zack Martin all pro guard mid rd 1 they draft Travis Frederick all pro center mid rd 1 they got Lael Collins on the cheap (but paid like a rd 1 player) they draft Conner Williams early rd 2 if memory serves - if the QB isn't making huge money you can plow all the money into the line another team that comes to mind is the 2009 Jets with Brick, Faneca, Mangold, Moore and Woody - only Moore was the non first rd player all those guys (especially faneca) made enormous money did all that add up to a quarter of the cap? i'm not sure but it was close and again your numbers aren't accurate because we don't know what the cap will be in 6 years - you can't say these guys will take a quarter of the cap when the cap number is not known what we do know is it is possible for a team to pay elite money to line when they don't have any other entanglements the Jets have zero stars, no one under non-rookie contract of any value, they can build this team anyway they want the problem is finding stars not paying them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cap issues can be dealt with in another 3-4 years. If the Jets strike gold and draft two elite tackles that is a good problem to have. You’d be hard pressed to find more than one long term starter on the current Jets o-line so it is certainly a major need. That said, I strongly disagree the Jets should use an asset as valuable as the second overall draft on a guy who plays the same position as Mehki Becton. To me left tackle is set for the next ten years. The Jets need to find players who profile at right tackle, guard, and center. Those type of players can be found later in the draft. I’d be incredibly disappointed if the Jets walk away with any non-QB at 2. Douglas’s job is to find the best QB not named Trevor Lawrence and bring that guy to the Jets. If he doesn’t feel like there is a franchise QB in this draft then trade down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting a QB is always a leap of faith. Why do you think Joe Douglas is getting paid the big bucks? It is his job to find that guy. How many Jets fans still complain about the team passing on Watson/Mahomes for Jamal Adams? The Jets own second overall in a draft class that has legit QB prospects. The time is now to seize the opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
