PepPep Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 LOL. Yes. They are. I know there were injuries but JD CANNOT allow the Jets to go into this season without upgrading the interior of the O-line. The Jets missed out on Thuney and Linsley. There should still be other options and there's always the draft but I repeat, the Jets CANNOT go into this season without upgrading the interior of the O-line and that means upgrading from AT LEAST one of Lewis and GVR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointman Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 At this point, I am about to demand we draft nothing but O Line. At least that will be worth something unlike the years of wasted first rounders on DL. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Jets need to trade down from #2, get more picks and make use of the draft to fix the oline. This was the answer all along. Anyone who truly thought we would get the top end olineman were living in a dream world. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To win, you need to make some of these big name, big talent signings. The draft will never fill all your voids, especially a team this crappy. We need known commodities, with real talent. Then fill the gaps. We do this through the draft.. and by the time we finish building through the draft, the first set of guys will be out of the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeJet Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I would bet my damn near my 1st born at least one of those Guard spots is still considerable upgraded this off-season, if not both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a garbage team you are not getting top end FA. Proven gain today. Even jets success re Fa in the past, those teams had some talent. Oline is perhaps the most desirable position in Fa year in and out. (once gain see this year.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we just lost out on the 2 best Guards out there Thuney and Linsey, we are already into the 2nd tier of Guards which is one of our weakest spots on the team.

jetstream23 Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Maybe the Jets plan was never really to focus on Interior OLine and instead to focus on Inferior OLine? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 a little fox and sour grapes rationalization. in truth they needed to replace one or more interior linemen. my guess is lewis was the goner. gvr started to play well once the oline starters were the same for a few games. we'll see what happens. imo even keeping the guys they have and having them practice and play together for a season will do wonders.

This is so true. While I have high hopes for Clark, I would add at least two of the "guard only" lineman with starting grades. I would pay up for one of them and would be a bargain shopper in the later rounds. Guard only starters fall. Last year, one was still available in the sixth round.

I cannot pass on a guy with a gold jacket grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, that will not be too hard. At times last season, we were totally noncompetitive. I do not use that term lightly either. Matador blocking and blown up plays. Three and out city.
