I'm with you on drafting a C and moving McGovern to G. Specifically, I'd like them to draft a C and RT with 2 of their first 5 picks with the idea that they would both be starters. And then hopefully, Clark will beat out Van Roten for the other G spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay Thuney, draft a center, move McGovern to right guard and that's a big improvement right there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one good makes it to free agency Like Alan Faneca, Damien Woody or more recently: Jack Conklin, Andrew Whitworth, Graham Glasgow, Ted Karras, Mitch Morse, Matt Paradis, Trent Brown, Andrew Norwell, Roger Saffold, Brandon Brooks, Jon Wisnewski and Daryl Williams plus trades for Laremy Tunsil, Trent Williams and Kevin Zeitler. Franchise QBs don’t hit FA, take one at 2 overall and build the rest with all the other assets that exist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't care less what PFF has to say, I watched film (of a 2-14 team) and Elflein was effective when he was inserted next to Becton. And that's the key, when he played "next to Becton" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 18 hours ago, football guy said: PFF has always had weird grades for OL imo. I think they underrated Becton/Fant/Elflein and overrated McGovern/GVR. Lewis had a 66.6 grade with a 55.6 pass block and a 71.5 run block. That one seems pretty on-par. RIght. Lewis was the best of our guards and he didn't play after week 11. Was it a non-football injury, or did he get benched for saying "**** YOU!" to Gase? He's still under contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snell41 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I don’t think our line is nearly as bad as they’ve looked. It’s been beyond obvious we had a stubborn as hell coach that did not adjust and did not cater his offense to the players. He tried running a zone block offense from day one with guys that are not suited for it.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot about Thuney. He should have been a Jet last year. His wife started to follow the jets on twitter as the rumors of him coming here were swirling and then the pats franchised him.

Ah yes the Great Jon wisniewski Only 4 of those names are tackles by the way and listing a handful of names since the dawn of free agency isn't really proving the point I'm not counting trades or going through the list of all the Trent dilfer/rich Gannon types that made it to fa. How about Vinny Testaverde? Matt Stafford is a franchise qb who will be on the market. Deshaun Watson is a franchise qb who wants to be dealt etc The bottom line is that the Jets need a franchise qb and also a new tackle. They need stars. The real question is what does the draft offer at 2? And can they trade out? If mcshay thinks fields is worth 10 or 15 there's a disconnect taking this player at 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how good the line would be if you took a Guard who is effective even when NOT playing next to Becton and placed him next to Becton. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't play anywhere near the level of Elflein at the LG spot Three Points: I am baffled at your position of saying it is not true that a G will perform better if lined up next to a very good T rather than a bad T. I feel like you know that is a false assertion and you only said it because you are invested in your defense of Elflein. Imagine how bad Lewis would have been if not next to Becton. Elflein was not really all that good on the Jets. There is a reason the Vikings, drafted a C to replace him, moved him to G and then waived him. .... and it is not because he was playing well. If he stays with the Jets it will likely be because he can be a backup at both G and C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If mcshay thinks fields is worth 10 or 15 there's a disconnect taking this player at 2 Specifically, I chose good OL that have moved in recent years. Wisniewski is a good OL that starts for Super Bowl winners. So you pick and chose Todd McShay’s precombine mock draft as evidence that Fields isn’t worthy if the pick? But you ignore PFF, PFN, and Mel Kiper? Daniel Jeremiah said Rashawn Slater is a better prospect than Sewell. Matt Stafford is 32, often injured and MIGHT be a top 15 QB and that’s your evidence that QBs come available? The difference in QBs that make a difference and QBs that don’t is stark. The key is to try and get one of those that alters a franchise. So take the swing at 2 and give him every asset $90million and 4 other picks in the first 3 rounds can obtain.

His name is stefen wisniewski. His famous uncle is named Steve. There is no Jon. Stefen spends most of his year on the street by the way, missing pre-season and waiting for guys to get hurt. I am not ignoring pff in fact Sewell has the greatest ol grade in pff history Kiper just said that the Bengals need to trade up to 2 if they want Sewell Rashawn slater is a guard. Most of these prospects have arm length issues that won't be revealed until indy. Sewell will outperform a small pickup truck there. Matt Stafford will be producing next season at the same 4000 yard season as usual. It's not clear that any of these qb even Trevor will be that kind of player right away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
