Rhg1084 Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Jets need to focus on offensive lineman in the draft! Especially around picks 23 and 34. We could desperately use a corner like Adoree Jackson. Not sure why JD is so stingy in free agency 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 OG has to be a priority along with CB. I don't love that we are sort of boxed into having to draft one of each early. Need-based drafting never feels good unless you are very lucky. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that taking a Corner with one of those picks after taking a QB at 2 should be a fireable offense. We've been down this road, you would think these guys would figure this out. There are quality options to fill CB in FA - not so much on the offensive side of the ball right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend agree..I really want the top half of this draft to be about building an offense. The chiefs and bucs got to the super bowl with elite offensive talent procured during the draft. Hill, kelce, godwin and Evans. At some point I'm going to have to root for keeping Darnold, trading down from#2 and having a boatload of picks we can use to address offense and defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The draft has a lot of OL depth. Adding Davis and Cole is a nice infusion into the WR room. If they take Kelvin Joseph at 23 and Dillon Radunz at 34 they’re a better team than forcing offense at those two spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed unless you trade down and use the 4/5 picks in first two rounds to address WR1/OG/CB/EDGE and then use a 3rd on a project QB to develop behind Sam.

You need to take the QB at 2 and use the next 3 or 4 picks for offense. While you're developing your young QB you do everything you can to support him. Let the defense fend for itself for a couple of years. Let Saleh scheme his way to competitiveness. I'm really starting to think JD doesn't actually understand the modern NFL. Still a lot of time left, we will see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhg1084 Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Corner seems like such a no brainer position to spend some of this free agency money.

They'll be worthy offensive players at 23, they'll be worthy offensive players at 34 and they'll worthy offensive players at Darnold pick... If you go QB at 2 all three of those should picks (23, 34 and Darnold) should be offense. Defense shouldn't even be on the board in the first two rounds. If you keep Darnold and trade down, JD is lost anyway - and I'm not really sure whatever we do will matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad2coles Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Douglas has done nothing to upgrade the o-line or the secondary, our 2 weakest position groups from last year. The Chiefs signed Thuney, they believe in McGovern at C, but there were still guys available that are better than we had last year at G and RT. Even if it cost a late round pick. He still has an opportunity to significantly upgrade the secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa took 2 cbs with their second and third pick in the 2018 draft, then they did the exact same in the 2019 draft and then they took a safety with their 2nd pick in the 2020 draft so drafting a qb high in the draft or all offence high is not the only way to win a superbowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBs are important and so are Edge players. If we drafted Wilson and then took no offensive players til the fourth round I’d be pissed but realistically there’s more likely an open spot for a rookie at the Edge or CB than at WR. Take 1 OL before round 3 and the depth chart goes from problematic to good. Take 2 and the returns diminish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take 1 OL before round 3 and the depth chart goes from problematic to good. Take 2 and the returns diminish. We'll just simply have to agree to disagree on this. If we had our FQB I would completely agree with your approach - but at the teams current situation, everything they do and I literally mean everything they do should be to support whoever it is we take at 2. Developing that QB should the only thing that matters for the next two years. Worry about defense in two years when you have a verifiable FQB that can carry the team. Right now he should be given every opportunity to grow. Just my opinion....but I do feel pretty strongly about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Rasul Douglas fits the type of outside corner we likely want. Surprised we’re not linked to him. Hall and Austin do as well. So maybe JD doesn’t see Rasul Douglas as an upgrade to either of those two. We’ll likely add a guy in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I’m actually gonna laugh when we use #23 on a CB. To be honest I don’t give a sh*t if we’re short. Help the young QB. Maccagnan failed his and Douglas looks like he wants to follow suit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
