So expect more offensive playmakers/oline next year plus FA jets always talk about next year.... need time for the plan to take effect right now the roster is bad-joe best nail the draft and find wilson some protection and some weapons or he will set up to fail too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenFish Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 The Jets roster Darnold’s rookie year was awful. 2021 OL > 2018 OL WR: Davis vs Robby. Tie WR: Crowder > Kearse WR: Mims vs Enunwa. Tie since Enunwa is always hurt. TE: Herndon vs Herndon RB: Powell/Cannon vs same sh*t Considering how awful the Roster was in 2018, going player by player, we’re not that much better. We probably have more depth now which will help in the event of injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post football guy Posted April 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2021 16 minutes ago, Sperm Edwards said: Again, I'm not finding fault with you. If the team as a whole believed in Darnold - not that some were somewhat more bullish than others - they'd have kept Darnold instead of trading him. They're going with a total unknown instead, and have been fielding calls for Darnold for some time now without discouraging more to call. Teams that believe in their starting QB don't trade them for future non-1st round picks of unknown draft slots. Anyway, "bullish" is relative not an absolute, and a team can be bullish on more than one player. I don't really know what is in Douglas's head, and take for granted what's in there can change for him just as it changes for any of us on the outside looking in. A trade is always FMV for the player, unless the GM just didn't entertain competing offers to find out what FMV was. Darnold was on the trade block for many weeks, and in the end it seems they couldn't get a 2nd round pick in this draft (let alone a 1st), which I'm sure he was trying to get (he could always have flipped a 2nd rounder this year for a 2nd rounder next year, and recouped more than just a future 4th). Other teams determine FMV and Douglas can't force a higher pick out of someone unwilling to pay it. The market said a future 2nd+4th is all Darnold was worth. I believe he exhausted all options. It's not like JD panicked and traded him too precipitously without first seeing what the top offer might've been. Truth is if he waited he might have gotten more - I doubt much more, though - but he might have gotten less. Right now Carolina's not guaranteed any of the top young QB prospects. Come draft day one they like might slip to them and then they're not making any offer for Darnold - like Washington allegedly bowing out after signing Fitz - so I don't fault him for taking the pick now. I didn't think you were, I'm just pointing out that people seem to try to theorize why things were done more so than it needs to be. They viewed Sam Darnold as a talented young player with a lot of upside who was likely to improve his production with a new coaching staff and improved supporting cast. They rationalized that he had 1 year left on his deal before he would cost them somewhere between $15-20m per season at the very least. They weighed that against having a cheap roster, the took into account the benefit of starting fresh, and they weighed what they thought they could realistically have gotten for #2 vs. what they felt they would get for Sam. They realized a few weeks ago that Carolina was not coming up to #2 because Carolina was not willing to pay anything close to what the Jets were looking for. That's when people in the FO seemed to shift their beliefs pretty much overnight. "On the block" is not the way to describe it. They took calls, vetted feelers, and considered offers. They made no counter offers, seemingly until the Ohio State pro-day. My guess is the Jets saw the writing on the wall and came away from the Wilson pro-day convinced he was going to be their pick and really started engaging in exchanging ideas on compensation. I can tell you for sure that the Jets did not want to wait very long. I agree with you they may have gotten more if they waited, and personally, I would've loved entering the offseason with Darnold and Wilson assuming they didn't trade the pick. But it was their internal goal to have a QB direction ironed out by April 9. I had no idea why that date, then a poster on here pointed out that it could have been due to the medical and I bought into that. But I think that was just a date Douglas set for the process. I think they wanted to use the pre-draft prep to focus on the rest of the draft and not have too many people wasting energy on potential trade scenarios and opportunities to trade down. Now that it's done and the direction is clear, the Jets can truly focus on the rest of the draft appropriately. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Mart Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 1 hour ago, FidelioJet said: Agreed. The weapons, while not great are workable. The OL is still likely the worst in the league. As you said, keep him upright but I think just as important is to have a semblance of a running game that can take some pressure off him too. Agree..Build the foundation ie OL this year. Take Humphrey at 23. Next yr the Jets will have plenty of draft capital to get more playmakers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that it's done and the direction is clear, the Jets can truly focus on the rest of the draft appropriately. IMO it's a distinction without a difference. If he wasn't on the trading block they would have let it be known they weren't trading Darnold. He was on the trade market. The only distinction is he wasn't cold-calling teams because they'd already called first. Even teams actively looking to trade a player will sometimes not pull the trigger if they don't get what they're looking for; that doesn't change that they're looking to get a high pick for the player. Douglas was shopping Anderson at the trade deadline in 2019. Both Idzik and Maccagnan each were shopping Mo before the draft in successive years, but held off when they couldn't get a 1st rounder in return (I think the most they got was future 1st/current 2nd round value for him in order to trade up to #1 in '16, which in the end Maccagnan still turned down anyway). Douglas also didn't first decide to trade Adams when Seattle called. Not flat-out announcing "we're not trading him" is a coy way of encouraging more offers to come in without making the announcement (in case nobody matches his desired return). e.g. we got at least one good offer for Q.Williams but Douglas made it know that absolutely Q was untouchable. Not so with Darnold this spring. They may have had some belief in Darnold, but ultimately not so much that he was worth a starting-level contract guaranteed for next year AND turning down those picks for him AND passing up on a QB at the top of the draft -- a slot where they may not be a year from now if they guessed wrong on Darnold, and may not be able to trade up to get. I don't fault him for taking this now. I thought he might wait until the draft, just based on the idea he wanted to trade down that badly, but once he's dead-set on a QB this is the right move. He might have gotten more later, and he might have gotten much less later. The internal date is nothing; it's just to get it done instead of hemming/hawing internally, but on the 9th they could have changed this internal date to the 10th or 14th or whatever. Lots of companies (and individuals) do this, putting a date on the calendar just to do it, because time often creeps up on you. It's a soft deadline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleman, Johnson, Adams and Perine is the best group of RBs this team has had in the last 5 years. While not the Kansas City Chiefs, the personnel on offense this year is already much better than it has been in the last few years. Plus, this should improve after the draft. Agree in the recievers but how in the world is that group of running backs anything more than terrible? Not one proven back among them. Coleman is washed. Probably the worst group in the league.

Lots of companies (and individuals) do this, putting a date on the calendar just to do it, because time often creeps up on you. It's a soft deadline. I mean I guess you're right but under that lens then the #2 pick was on the block as well. What we do know is that Carolina put out feelers for #2 early on, then basically lost interest in it. Whether this was by design or not I'm not sure, but I think it became clear among those with the Jets that no one would pay what the team required to trade #2, especially after the SF-MIA trade, and I don't think Carolina ever made an official offer either. They did officially make an offer on Darnold a few weeks ago (I read for a 4th, but hear it was #113 + a 2022 conditional 4th) and while the Jets didn't flatly deny them, just said they weren't trading Sam then. It was at the Ohio State pro day where Douglas/Hogan said, "OK, let's make a deal." Yes I know the internal date wasn't a DDD. As you said, it was a soft deadline. They wanted to know which direction they were favoring (QB Darnold + value for #2 vs. QB #2 + value for Darnold) by that date. That's why I didn't think a future would happen with Sam and Zach on the team this year, even if I wanted it to, because it just seemed like they were very binary on that front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But need a QB willing to take those shots in order to keep his confidence high and ultimately (hopefully) make him a household name. Now he has someone who will give him those opportunities almost to a fault. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whodeawhodat Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 9 hours ago, Sperm Edwards said: In fairness - and this may have been the team's feeling at the time - what was reported back was the team was going with Darnold for one more year and was not drafting a QB this year -- that they all wanted to go with Darnold and trade back, and if Douglas couldn't trade back then he was going to take Sewell at #2. What actually transpired is almost the exact opposite of that. They traded Darnold and are going to draft a QB at #2, staying pat at that slot instead of trading down when the opportunity presented itself. Not at all faulting @football guy here; he heard what he heard, and that may very well have been the inner circle's feeling at the time. But if feelings can change this much, then leaks may not be worth much. Further, these leaks into GM thinking may very well be planted - even to members of his second-to-inner circle - and he was half-expecting these to be leaked for his own purposes (e.g. in this case so teams would think they have to offer more to pry Darnold loose from the Jets).
