He drafted an OG, Edge rusher, QB, RB and Safety last year. He needs to "supplement the Draft" by basically finding all of those same positions again this year in FA or the Draft. Last year provided no additional answers other than LT. A wasted free agent class and thus far a questionable draft class. When do the holes actually get filled with multi year solutions? It seems we’ve been trying to fill the same holes for the last decade. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post slats Posted March 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2021 Seems like the Jets were out early on both huge deals. I don’t think there’s any pivoting involved at all. The numbers went higher than he wanted to spend and that was that. Also, probably pretty predictable. The Jets have holes all over their roster, have plenty of money to spend, and were most likely planning to wait out most of the first wave, anyway. I get that we’ve all been waiting a long time for something but, barring being able to land a big fish on a reasonable deal, they were probably always focused on adding depth everywhere after the big money got spent around the league. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really not sure how giving Joe Thuney $80 million moves the needle Because you're almost certainly bringing in a rookie QB. Are we intent on not giving him a chance to succeed either? You can't put a rookie behind that OL and expect anything other than seeing him regress. Very worrisome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 2 minutes ago, FidelioJet said: BS - he needed to shore up the OL. Darnold, Watson or a Rookie - needed protection. Specifically up the middle and you can NOT count on rookies to do that. He let the two big fish in those spots go. This is very worrisome. If the big swinging sword of a GM making 6 mill or whatever it is per can’t find guards in the draft then what is the point? The line isn’t awful. The QB was awful. Get a decent player behind center and the oline can function. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line isn’t awful. The QB was awful. Get a decent player behind center and the oline can function. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-final-2020-offensive-line-rankings 29. NEW YORK JETS The Jets, like the Dolphins, threw a lot of resources at the offensive line this offseason. That included a first-round pick spent on Louisville tackle Mekhi Becton, who impressed in his rookie season. His 74.3 PFF grade ranked 19th out of 38 qualifying left tackles despite battling injuries, and he showcased that his rare blend of size and athleticism could cause serious problems for defenders. Overall, however, it was a disappointing season for the offensive line in New York. They allowed pressure in 2.5 seconds or less on 28% of their dropbacks — the worst rate in the NFL. The line wasn’t creating many lanes in the run game, either. The Jets averaged just 1.1 yards per carry before contact per rushing attempt in 2020 (30th). Once again, they’ll have to look to add pieces to their offensive line this offseason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. We are in no position to reload or make a run. I - for one - would be delighted to hear we extended Quinnen and Maye in today's news. Let's shop in the discount pile and build in the draft inside out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What part of that did jet fans not understand? Ok. You keep saying that but you still have to put together some sort of roster. You still have to give your QB weapons and protection so the offense can function and your QB can develop. I know there are some fans on here who wanted JD to throw money and overpay for multiple top tier FAs. I totally get why he won't do that. But at some point, when you have so much cap room, you have to make sure you acquire competent talent via FA while you continue building through the draft. JD can do it in parallel. I wanted Thuney or Linsley. But those guys got massive contracts. If JD has a plan for the interior of the o-line, I'm fine with it. However, if he trots out Lewis and GVR again this year, or is forced to reach for a G in the draft, thats a clear failure on his part to address the position. You gotta have proven veterans on the team as you build through the draft and as you develop young players. I'm not saying get into toxic, long term, massive contracts. I'm saying bring in proven players even if they aren't the cheapest, don't sit on your hands and say 'I'm building through the draft'. Especially if they plan on bringing in a rookie QB.

JustInFudge Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 My take on JD is that he has a # in his head and if he makes a call and finds out there is an offer that's higher then the # in his head, he just moves along. Could be good, could be a killer, we shall see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think Sam regressed, got worse from his Rookie year to last year,..and I think that was because the Jets did NOTHING to support him. I don't think it makes sense to bring him back but I actually believe Sam has a chance somewhere else. He never really flashed here, but give him new scenery with a team that actually understands you need to support a young QB and he might turn into something.

The move now has to center around making draft choices easier. Sign at least 1 Edge guy, another LB, 2 good receivers, a CB and basically declare pick 23 as an OL focused selection. Eliminate needs in order to focus on the OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
