Sperm Edwards Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 14 hours ago, cant wait said: I get what you’re saying but they were also banking on Dillard playing on a rookie contract to offset it so it’s really not a huge number overall. You might be right about the contract years not lining up right with taking two back to back. But I lean more towards taking the top talent available there and especially with OT being a premium position cap wise, I’m not trading that for anything less than a haul of picks. Otherwise draft the player and trade them later for a haul of picks. Especially after getting 2 firsts back for a disgruntled safety someone better back up the truck if they want either of those guys Except OT is not a premium position. LT is a premium position, but not RT. You may as well draft a safety there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me personally, I might have my edge guy line up on the other side of the formation and terrorize that generally less athletic RT. Having dominate guys controlling both edges is a premium worth the investment regardless of the letter in front of the T in my opinion. A dominate oline makes decent QBs and RBs look far better than they are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlichtie Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Just baffled at the annointing of a guy (future hall of famer apparently) who didn’t suit up this past year, has only one full season as a starter and was mostly injured his freshman year....and we already drafted a guy with a near top 10 pick to play his position. maybe he can rush from the edge, or play cornerback, or can catch passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because they feel that they already have their franchise QB in place. Penei Sewell is a franchise left tackle. Mehki Becton occupies that position and hopefully will for the next decade. Do you think Penei Sewell who is considered the best left tackle prospect since Joe Thomas wants to spend his career on the right side? Not a chance, and neither would Becton. Well that’s too bad. He’s playing RT for us next when we have the league’s best O line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams with amazing O lines and above average QBs can almost do whatever they want on offense... Its not the worst idea in the world, provided we can have at least slightly above average QB'ing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then watch Etienne score 15-20 tds next season Fant can be moved inside to Guard Not happening with this WR/TE/QB combination. If you want a running game you need to find a capable passing offense.

TuscanyTile2 Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 One more benefit that I forgot to include is that, if he lives up to billing, we could probably keep Sewell for a few years and then trade him for a 1st rounder at any time during his 1st contract. Teams are always looking for a stud LT so I think he'd probably retain a lot of his value, even closer to contract time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnie Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 If the jets draft Sewell they automatically have a top 5 OL And that doesn’t mean we are simply “sticking with Sam.” Jets can sign a QB or trade for someone to compete with Sam next TC and preseason Because the guard position is so locked down ???Sent from my SM-G950U1 using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to lead the league in time of possession yet be 20th in scoring. Get a mobile QB like Fields. Run a modern offense - the read option, jet sweeps, RPO's.

No Tackles at two. This is wrong and exactly what the Jets have done for decades. You don't build a team to simply be competitive. You build a team to win a Super Bowl - you must do the things you need to do in order to achieve that goal - even if that means you suck for another couple of years. That means you NEED an elite QB. Building the good OL - to cover the flaws of your sh*tty QB will keep you somewhat competitive and get you a wildcard every three years or so....but you can't win Super Bowls like that anymore. You have to roll the dice and keep drafting QB's. Fields or Wilson both have the natural skills of what many of the quality QB's in the league have - we don't know about the intangibles of these kids, but you gotta take one of them.
