I apologize to everyone on JN for my Trevor Lawrence post's; is there any room left on the Justin Fields/Zach Wilson bandwagon?

Sure will you leave and not come back if they do? I’m not asking you not to nor am I saying they will pan out. They are however very good prospects. They have high upsides equal to any top 5 QB prospects in any draft. 

As long as JD builds a good roster, we’ll get a coach. Why would a coach turn down the 2nd overall pick, $90 million to spend and a GM connected in multiple organizations?

Your right, there are only 32 teams in the World, we aren’t getting the pick of the litter though. No matter how much you want to fool yourself.

I understand we have to reset the QB clock, and I’m not convinced any one outside of Lawrence is worth #2 overall.

I’d sooner we trade down, and take a QB in the 5-10 range. Unfortunately we are in the AFC and you need a game changer QB to Win. Wilson the 12 year old boy, or Fields aren’t them.

Yeah man all I can do is ignore them while I laugh at them.

I'll tell you what. Our Trevor Lawrence fans were much nicer than 90% of these Fields/Wilson pricks; I no longer want to associate with their wagon any longer and will be rooting for Fields to flop on his face vs. Clemson in order to avoid him like the black plague. 

I think I'll stay in support of Penei Sewell (who I've claimed for months on end is the #2 player and would be #1 overall if not for Trevor) who's a generational LT in pass protection and the highest rated O-Linenan to declare since dating back to Orlando Pace of 23 years ago (1997); in other words he's hands down deserving of the #2 overall pick while overrated QBs in Fields/Zach, aren't. 

and I'll remember these Fields/Wilson pricks when my Jets draft Sewell while telling them to go follow Fields/Wilson to their respected teams ??

Penei-Sewell.jpg.491713125fd4f787c13732ca96fc8350.jpg

QB: Sam Darnold. 

LT: Penei Sewell (#2 overall). 

LG: Joe Thuney (FA). 

RT: Mekhi Becton. 

WR 1: Allen Robinson (FA).  

Slot: Rondale Moore (2nd round). 

WR 2: Denzel Mims. 

WR 4: Jamison Crowder. 

RB: Najee Harris (Seattle pick of the 1st). 

Or switch Thuney with Brandon Scherff @ LG, Moore with Terrace Mathis Jr, Najee with Etienne and/or Allen Robinson with JuJu Smith Schuster/Chris Godwin etc

Something along these lines and JD has both the salary cap space and draft capital needed in order to make it happen; while surrounding our QB position with an A+ O-Line and A+ weapons at both WR/RB.

Because the more I think about it (after missing out on Lawrence) the more I realize that Sam Darnold has never had a CHANCE @ QB with the Jets after being drafted #3 overall and has been setup to fail (just look at Baker Mayfield last week without his WRs; he looked like dog crap under Darnold circumstances).

I'd like to give this kid A+ weapons before absolutely quitting on him.

And what's the worst that can happen?

Sam doesn't flourish?

Well then we'll already have a KC Chiefs type of offense built in place for 2022's draft (with two first round picks) in order to draft a Rookie QB 1st round into an offense that's ready to win (giving the Rookie a fighting chance).

My pick is in. 

 

The draft is in April.  Nobody's pick should be in. The trade down discussions between now and then will be intense.  So it's not just a matter of who anyone likes at 2, but also should we accumulate picks for it or use it? But if your "pick" is in, so be it.

Yup, could see a QB, or Sewell and roll with Darnold for another season. Obviously, a lot will come down to what the next HC thinks. If they bring in a guy like Daboll and he thinks he can salvage Darnold that may be enough to pass on a QB. Either way, I think I'm over the post-Lawrence depression and ready to see what the team does.

It's never simple with this franchise, is it.

If Daboll is the hire, the first thing he's going to demand, contingent on his hiring, is for Douglas to find him a real QB.  Whether Darnold is on the 2021 roster or not.

Coaching can only do so much.  It can't make chicken salad out of sh*t.  Any coach worth his salt knows this.  There's no reason to d**k around with a lost cause like Sam Darnold.

Except Wilson has an insanely strong arm, plus mobility, plus accuracy, a great deep ball, dominance. Fields has great physical tools, he also has a very good record, and has been tracked every step of the way as an elite talent. These two guys are normal top 5 picks, risk and reward guys.

Don’t hate him at all. I think he’s a great kid.

But, I don’t want to listen for the next 20 years about how we dropped the ball AGAIN on a QB.

First the Marino debacle.

Then Manning staying in school and spurning us.

Not drafting Brady when one of our scouts was begging Parcells to.

Most likely ruining Darnold for good.

Now missing out on Lawrence.

Nothing against him...I hope he lived a rich amazing safe and healthy life. I just hope he sucks in the league from Day 1 to his last snap.

Or as a consolation prize. We develop into an absolute juggernaut that always destroys a Trevor Lawrence team, a la Belichick vs. Manning.

 

Had the Tuna said he would have took Peyton with the 1st pick he would have come out but he was only going to coach for 3 years and didn't want to use it on a QB.

absolutely he could go top 10. He has a chance to be the first playmaker on offense (ahead of any WR) selected. If we can slide back 4-5 picks and take him I’ll be elated. I like the idea of bookending Becton with Sewell too but at some point you gotta make playmakers your priority

I'd say it is 100% opposite of what you project.  These guys think they can fix anything and anyone, Allen was very shaky early in his career.  If Daboll was named coach there would be a higher chance of darnold sticking around than other wise.

Because if so, I'd love to see Justin Fields destroy Clemson while out performing Trevor Lawrence while going onto beating Alabama and winning himself a National Championship Title. 

Right now I'm in favor of Penei Sewell but it would become pretty damn exciting for me (heading into the draft) if Justin Fields can absolutely explode vs Clemson & Alabama. 

Sell me Fields and Zach fans. Sell me.

1) Can you give us a hint when the first "Penei Sewell is the Jets' Anthony Munoz and will single handedly make Sam Darnold a pro bowler" thread will hit JN? Complete with photoshopped pictures, gifs, YouTube links and stats and/or recruitment rankings from his middle school football team. Perhaps this might be ready for New Years Eve? 

2) Will a Penei Sewell selection result in the previously promised Offense Wins Championships (OWC) user name change?

No personal against Trevor Lawrence but I will never root for somebody to be a bust as much as him.

I don’t just want him to be bad...I want him Ryan Leaf bad. 
 

Oh and draft Wilson !

I've been feeling this way also. I'm trying to figure out if the Jets screwing up the chance to draft him makes it better or worse...

Say this kid ends up being a top NFL QB and completely changes the Jags franchise. Which typical Jets scenario hurts worse - "Adam Gase fu*ked us out of the chance to draft Trevor Lawrence" OR "The GM fu*ked us by passing on Trevor Lawrence" ala Mac and Mahomes. 

I rarely wish misfortune on anybody, but since the Rams win I can't stop hoping that Lawrence ends up a mediocre QB. I'm disgusted at the thought of Lawrence being a stud and turning the Jaguars into a relevant franchise while we spend the next 10+ years wallowing in SOJ pity on Jetnation over how we almost had Trevor Lawrence. 

Passing on Mahomes kills me everytime I watch him play but I get a small amount of comfort from the fact that 10 teams passed on him. If Lawrence turns into Mahomes I think it's going to hurt more just because he is the 1st overall pick and (likely) would have been ours. This whole situation is the epitome of this franchise's luck. We happen to be the worst team in the league the same year a huge QB prospect is available BUT it also just happens to be the year 2 wins isnt bad enough to get the 1st overall pick. I swear, if the Jets were going to go 0-16, Jax would have went winless also and beat us in an 0-16 SOS tiebreaker.  That's the Jets luck.

Probably a good plan. I'm trying to get myself to a "I have faith JD knows what he is doing" mindset when it comes to the draft rather than getting hopeful about any one player or scenario.

Personally, the only real brightside I can see with this franchise right now is that this is the first time in a long time that I'm NOT 100% convinced that our GM will completely blow the draft. With Mac and Idzik, I knew going into the draft that whatever they did was going to be a huge f*ck up. I do believe JD has a plan and actually knows what he is doing. That's more than I've been able to say about the Jets GM in the past 10 years. I have no clue what JD is going to do but I believe he knows what he is doing and, whatever happens, we'll be a better team in the long run.

Yeah I’m not on board with this obsession of drafting more and more OT with our top pick, we took Becton high, that’s enough......maybe if there’s a guy like Slater available with the 2nd first rounder but at some point you need to build a good unit with guys picked in Red 2, 3 or even later. We used a 5th on Cameron Clark and they don’t even get him on the field. those type of guys can and should be contributors.

The OL is a unit and building a So-called super unit is a mistake in my view as it totally neglects the many other glaring weaknesses that need addressing. We tried building a super-unit on the defensive line and it never really worked so lets’address the rest of the roster.

I’m also not sold on Sewell. The guy has one year as a starter and was injured most of his freshman season and then opted out in 2020.(this board was killing CJMosley for the same thing) Had he played and dominated this year I could maybe see the argument but there’s no way I’m investing the 2nd overall pick in him. I’d sooner go Pitts or even Zach Wilson. There’s lots to happen between now and the draft so the ;landscape is going to shift.

We are desperately short of playmakers on both sides of the ball, the kind of talent that keeps opponents awake at night, Pitts does that for me

Just because you think you can turn around someone doesn’t mean you take a job where that’s your purpose the first year or 2. There will be other jobs available with much better QBs. The only reason Daboll would take this job is if he could have a say in the next QB for 2021.

These guys would much rather try to mold a good QB into a great one. They’ve coached enough football to know you can’t do much with a sh*tty one.

Nope. I'm not you. 

At first I thought you created a Jaguars/Trevor avatar out of superstition; which I respected. 

But now that we've missed out on Lawrence? Your act is getting really old around here. 

Nonetheless I'll be hoping Justin Fields (who I've crapped all over) can prove me wrong and light up awesome Clemson/Alabama defenses. 

I don't have too much pride to be proven wrong especially if being proven wrong gets me an awesome Jets Franchise QB. 

Right now I'm on the Penei Sewell wagon but I'll glady jump off if Fields can impress me...

Doubt he'll light up Bama's D because OSU won't make it past Clemson.

This can't be understated - across many positions. We simply have not had nearly enough success outside of the top 50.. Christ, we haven't had much success period -- but we really need to stop being on the laughing end of rnd 3 and 4... Yes, those late rounds are dart throws (although i'd argue there's ways to increase your hit rate - stop taking power 5 guys who struggled. If they couldn't hack it in the big 10, they're not gonna fcking suddenly own in the NFL) but successful organizations will get mileage out of those middle rounds. 

I'm tired of staring at obvious-pick X in round 3/4, only to hear the Jets selected wtf-pick Y.

Oline super groups have in my mind totally proven to be very valid in future success. 

Indy has built a super unit oline and is on the upswing.

No one can convince me that Dak prescott success is not tied to the Dallas super group.

The jets themselves are a big example, the years this team had success with a sh*tty Qb they had a great oline.

The Jets have enough draft resources to add weapons AND built a great oline. 

Douglas does not have to draft Sewel but if he does not use a high pick (2nd 1st rounder or 2nd rounder) on the oline he is no better than freaking mccagnan.  He also has to make oline his top FA target

I don’t disagree that we need to build a very good if not dominant OL, but that cannot be to the detriment of every other position of need. For sure invest a top 10 pick at LT like we have with Becton, totally on board with that, but then using the No 2 overall pick on another LT the following year makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and I don’t love Sewell the way others appear to, there are enough red flags there for me take a hard pass.

A late first rounder on a C or OG or a high 2nd rounder or 3rd on one of the better RT prospects I can totally get but the No2 pick this year needs to be used to address other needs at positions that simply don’t wriggle free in free agency or get snapped up quickly in the draft

OL is actually a decent place to find good players in free agency, effective edge rushers, QB’s, CB’s or WR’ s rarely make it to free agency...so by all means spend some of that cap money on the best G or C available but that No 2 pick needs to be used on a impact player at either QB, WR, Edge or CB....not averse to trading back a bit to add more draft capital but Douglas has to be good enough to build a great o-line without needing to splurge our most precious draft capital on it 

We desperately need skill players, the offensive line is still a weakness and needs addressing but with millions available in cap money I would rather we invested heavily in a top FA and then used either the Seattle pick or 2nd or 3rd rounder on an instant 16 game starter at OG, C or RT

just my opinion

Well said. 

For years.

Maccagnan was called out and criticized for refusing to invest high draft picks into his O-Line; while going DL or Safety. 

Fast forward. 

The O-Line is something that's been neglected since pretty much post 1996. 

Mekhi Becton. A+

Penei Sewell A++. 

Two future All-Pro's @ LT/RT?

Thnx you Joe Douglas

Draft either Najee/Etienne and put these work horses behind great OT's?

Two 1st round picks come 2022 if Darnold doesn't absolutely flourish etc?

Give him an Allen Robinson, Chris Godwin or JuJu. 

Go after a Joe Thuney. 

Etc. 

Build an offense around the QB position (like KC Chiefs did before Mahomes) this way QBs like Sam or anyone else doesn't automatically fail. And this way as a Fan Base we can fairly judge a once was Franchise talent because Baker Mayfield didn't look to good himself without his WRs and Josh Allen also struggled without WRs and an O-Line etc

So I'm willing to draft another A+ Franchise LT/OT in order to create a wall of Becton/Sewell and a wall that the Bosa brothers and other dominant outside Pass Rushers can no longer, avoid. 

I really want to draft see JD draft guys like 

• Sewell 2nd overall. 

• Najee Harris or Travis Etienne Seattle pick. 

• Rondale Moore or Terrace Marshall Jr 2nd round pick. 

• Center and Guard within the interior with our two 3rd rounders. 

✓ and All of this was not only with our first 5 picks throughout the first 3 rounds but also already having watched JD attack both FA WRs and top rated FA O-Lineman throughout Free Agency (heading into the draft). 

Why not give a 3rd overall pick of 2018 a fighting chance?

Where his confidence isn't absolutely destroyed because of playing alongside of mostly journeyman players?

Why not surround the kid with an A+ WRs/RBs

And finally for the first time ever an A+ promising O-Line as now a 4th year kid? 

Before absolutely quitting on him..

I've been hard on Sam. 2020 has been frustrating. I wanted Lawrence. But I know Sam has been set-up to fail and look really bad I'd love for JD to give him one more chance. Around A+ talent. With an awesome coach. See what the kid could really be made of. 

If not? A younger QB gets drafted 1st round next year into an already built offense (that can get even stronger with more picks).

Soooo first round tackles tend to give up about 6-10 sacks in their rookie years. That’s basically expected. So when the OL struggles how does Sam get another mulligan. Also, by wasting that year, you now have Quinnen closer to a big pay day, Fatukasi up for a raise, Maye will already get a raise, the guards and center will be inching towards getting kicked to the curb. Mims will enter year 3 still an unknown quantity breaking in a mid first round rookie QB. But at least Sewell will be close to being a generational tackle that will provide moderately superior results to Michael Onwenu who was drafted in the 5th round.

Me too, I just don’t think it works and we need to add talent everywhere. That and with JD being a former OL he really needs to be able to find good linemen without using top 10 picks 

This is supposed to be a very deep OT draft.  I'd have no problem drafting an OL in the 2nd

While in the meantime I've down talked and questioned the idea of other QBs (all because I was 100% convinced Trevor Lawrence would become a Jet). 

I was wrong. 

Any room left on the Justin Fields and/or Zach Wilson bandwagon for me to join? 

Because if so, I'd love to see Justin Fields destroy Clemson while out performing Trevor Lawrence while going onto beating Alabama and winning himself a National Championship Title. 

Right now I'm in favor of Penei Sewell but it would become pretty damn exciting for me (heading into the draft) if Justin Fields can absolutely explode vs Clemson & Alabama. 

Sell me Fields and Zach fans. Sell me. 

 

I'm 50% sold. 

Dominate Alabama...

And I'm 100% sold.
