Which isn't to say Pitts will bust but history is not on the Jets' side. Most Jets history of drafting players in the first round is not promising 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering what they gave up to get to 3, that's just not enough to get the QB they really want. Besides, if they really want Jones, they don't need us. I'm finding it extremely difficult to believe they gave up their future for jones a month out from the draft. I really like Mac but a whole three first rounders for him!

They have their guy pegged knowing Wilson was likely off the board, and they have no ammo left to entice the Jets to move. It's Atlanta or Carolina and at 8, you may not get Pitts if that's the motivation. Doesn't matter really. It's Wilson. Let's pray he's the one.

Sewell will be a great player but would mean we have to let Becton go in 3/4 years when he wants left tackel money, but 4 years is a long time in the NFL.

mfmartin Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I get that, but a propect can't be "generational" if in the very same draft, folks think another tackle is better. Can't have 2 generational players at the same position in the same draft. Generational means "once in a generation". Not twice in the same draft. He may be better or Slater may be better but if there's a question, the phrase loses its meaning. And whether a propect is "generational" or not is not predictive of how good he will actually be--it's simply draft lingidy. Oh I completely agree. Sewell isn’t better than Slater IMHO. I’m just giving you why I think people starting using it. Trevor Lawrence is the crown jewel of this class and the best prospect since Luck.

Viermoo Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Picking a TE in the first round is a luxury pick for a team that could contend for a title. Without a good QB, Pitts will as good as Anthony Becht.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Kyle Pitts seems like a "me 1st" , selfish, kind of prospect, not a team player. That plus the fact he's from Florida is enough reason for me to pass on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 We need a QB. Next question. Plus WR/TE have a high bust rate. There’s no guarantee he’ll be an all world TE. We have 2 first round WRs are on team as example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYDreamer Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I saw a mock draft that had the Dolphins selecting Pitts at 6 and Travis Eitienne with their next first round pick....As a Jets fan I would not want to have to face that combo twice a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Just took a quick look and had to go all the way back to 1972 to find a TE taken in the top 5 (Riley Odoms, #5 to Denver). Before that, it was Mike Ditka going #5 in 1961. And that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
