LAD_Brooklyn Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 This is more directed for the Pro-Sewell advocates. Why wouldn't the same posse like to target Trent Williams? He was lights out last season playing under the same system despite playing with JAG backup QBs. I hear a lot of talk how great it would be to have two dominant tackles, however it's only coming from the vision of drafting one 2nd overall. Me personally, I would rather Morton from Carolina, however I'm curious to know how Williams name hasn't pop up not one time especially after many including myself wanted him badly when on the block in Washington?

Popular Post Integrity28 Posted February 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2021 There’re several good FA OL this year. In addition, this draft is derp at OL. Given our needs, it makes absolutely no sense to draft a second franchise LT only to play him at RT... when you can draft very good RT later in the draft. 13 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like a great thing but I feel like this OL draft is mediocre so I’m confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any All-Pro player who hits the market is going to be old and expensive. But if you're into picking Sewell at 2, then you're all for having Sam under center and not using the pick to upgrade the position. So instead of helping Sam get ride of the ball and picking Chase, Pitts, Waddle or Chase with Williams and Becton blocking for him. We'll entertain possible getting Juju or giving up a 2nd rounder for one of the top WR who are going to be tagged and traded with an inexperienced Oline but promising OL. Not so sure how I feel about a lack of experience on the line with an already struggling QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed4 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 He’s only 32. I thought he was six years older than that! Yeah, we should absolutely look into signing a pro bowl RT that can play LT in a pinch, and both at a high level in a familiar scheme.

At the cost of another your and cheap player at a position of need. One so not as easily replaced through free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slikmojet! Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I always wanted Williams, the Silver back. We have thrown money at a bunch of bums why not Williams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike was so bad at his job and we're so historically bad as a franchise that Adam Gase is a top 5 all time Jets coach just for getting rid of him for Douglas.

clayton163v Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 As a Sewell advocate. Here is my 2 cents. I would love to trade back from #2 if offered fair compensation. But it is so expensive for teams to do it that I do not believe that anybody is going to make the offer. I think we will be forced to pick. When that happens, I must think about taking the best player. We must build the Jets inside out and that means the trenches. Next to wide receiver, our offensive line is the weakest unit on the team. But solid wide receivers can be found in the second round or late in the first. Each and every year too. They also have a historically high bust rate. Offensive tackles fail due to injury or a failure to stay in shape or both. In this year's draft, everybody agrees that the best lineman is Sewell. The non-scouts who sell by the clicked link are trying to say otherwise but in the end he there are only two elite talents available in this year's draft and that is Lawrence and Sewell. The difference between 3-12 is not that much to be honest. To me there is no other choice. As for signing silverback, I would love it. To trade back from #2 with an on the trade card offer and sign Trent Williams would be fantastic. A magic potion straight from the genie's bottle. But I know he is not going to sign with a bottom dweller like the Jets, he is going to a contender. And while I want to trade down, it is simply not going to happen.
